LEAGUE OF NATIONS
MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
(By Associated -Press)
'Geneva, Sept. 5.—France today-
pledged her adhesion to the princi-
ples of arbitration, and through the
lips, of Premier Herriot gave a
world message, generally acclaimed
here, as replete with hope for world
peace.
In his address to the assembly of
the League of Nations, Herriot de-
clared France would follow both
the letter and spirit of the solemn
document known as the covenant of
the League of Nations, which forms
the first part of the treaty of Ver-
sailles, approved in principle in ad-
vance any plan labeling as an ag-
gressor any country which refuses
arbitration.
The premier said he hoped the
United States would not refuse to
continue its useful - cooperation In
disarmament, especially now that
arbitration had cPme in as a fea-
ture of the peace, plan.
ANOTHER GREAT
SERVICE LAST
NIGHT AT REVIVAL
RUSSIA MAY HE PIT
■f!
Shanghai, Sept. 4.—After an en-
gagement which was fought along
i-he entire battle line near here, the
advance upon Shanghai by the
^forces of Gen. Chi Hsieh Yuan has
jjMMeen checked and there is hope
the city of Shanghai may be
saved from dangerous encroach-
ments of the civil war.
At 10 o’clock Thursday night re-
inforcements went to the aid of
Gen. Lu Yung Hsiang, commander
t of Kiangsu Provincial troops, and
^enabled him to halt the retreat
which was throwing him back on
Shanghai under the attacks of Gen.
Chi. Fifteen thousand troops
fought in the battle which had
menaced the city during the late af-
ternoon a a i night.
Early in the engagement Gen.
Ghi s foices, who were fighting to
extend their control over the en-
tire Province of Kiapgsu, had in-
flicted heavy casualties on Lu
Aung Hsiang’s army, bombing them
from airplane0.
. T1Je fighting continued Thursday
jiigut, but Shanghai did not appear
to be threatened.
The battle extends from the
Shanghai-Nanking railroad to the
coast. At times the opposing
forces clashed within twelve miles
<|f Shanghai and there was appre-
hension lest the advancing troops
-of Gen. Chi fight th‘eir way into
the city.
A steady stream of refugees is
pouting into Shanghai, seeking pro-
tection in the foreign settlement.
Old men and women carrying’ ba-
bies are choking the streets, sleep-
ing in the highways and alleys and
filling the boats in the canals and
Yangtze River. Admiral Anderson
in command of the international
protective forces, declares that the
lefugees, because they are infected
with disease, constitute a greater
jgienace to the foreigners than the
mvarriors.
The Americans, British and other
foreigners are not greatly worried
by the “war danger” and Thursday
night the colony gayly attended
the motion picture houses, a num-
ber of dances and a prize fight
without regard for the firing which
can be heard in the center of the
town.

PRESIDING EDER
TITTLE MAKING
GOOD AT WORK
-p,. . Eev. W. L. Tittle, Presiding
Elder of the Sulphur Springs Dis-
trict, has a record for work done
since he came to this city some
ten months ago. He has the over-
sight and supervision of twenty one
pastors and pastoral charges in-
cluding about sixty-five Methodist
congregations. He travels over the
equivalent of four counties and holds
eighty-four quarterly conferences
each year, besides special confer-
ences as occasion demands. He
preaches on an average of four or
five time each week, and has this
year held revivals in which he has
had almost one-hundred conversions
and seventy-five additions to the
church under his own preaching*. In
his district there have been about
one-thousand conversions, and the
additions to the church will reach
twelve hundred or more.
Every charge in the district ac-
cepted its quota for the Super-
Annuate, or worn-out preachers, and
this money is now being* raised. Not-
withstanding the short crops in this
section ,the Methodist people are
making a heroic effort to pay every
financial obligation in full.
As Presiding Elder the Rev. Mr.
little will sit in the bishop’s cabinet
and help assign the pastors to their
charges for next year. The North
Texas Conference of which the Sul-
phur Springs District is a part will
meet at Paris, Texas on Oct. 15th,
at which time this busy preacher
will be able to give a good account
oi his labors in this important field
of service.
Geneva, Sept. 5.—Predicting that
America will some day come into the
League of Nations because of its
efforts for peace, Ramsay Mac-
Donald of Great Britain has launch-
ed his great effort for international
security through the league organ
ization—security which will be has”
ed on arbitration, the reduction of
armaments and participation by the
United States, Germany and Russia
in the work at Geneva.
Addressing the league assembly
Thursday .MacDonald initiated the
discussion on disarmament and the
proposed pact of mutual guaran-
tees to prevent war. His speech, a
dramatic forecast of a time wheii
all nations would unite to end war,
was the forerunner of the keen
Anglo-French controversy over the
best way to effect national secu-
rity.
MacDonald appealed for partici-
pation in the league by Germany
and Russia and he declared “there
is always a welcome place for
America here.”
The attitude of the United States,
the fact that she is absent from
the councils of the league, could
not be ignored in the day’s debate.
If war is ended, the Premier
said, it would be only through the
League of Nations. England, he
said, was determined to strengthen
the authority of the league as the
principal instrument for world
peace.
MacDonald reiterated that the
next disarmament conference must
be held in Europe.

GRAND JURY HAS
ADDITIONAL BILLS
The grand jury made a report of
six i pH if inniJwAdMM 1 ir i _I -
GL
People came in throngs to the
Baptist church last night and God’s
mighty power was manifest. Rev.
Williams’ messages are heart-
searching and much appreciated by
all. The large audience gave pro-
found attention. Prof. McKinney
and Mrs. Gober sang a duet “Where
Will You Spend Eternity,” to the
joy of all, with Miss Sallie Mae
Kennon at the piano. A splendid
message in song, written by Miss
Pauline Sadler, was brought by
Prof. McKinney. A fine orchestra
contributed very materially to the
music of the service. If you have
not heard Prof. McKinney, who is a
consecrated, zealous, talented sing-
er, you are missing a rare treat.
The subject of the morning ser-
vice was Stewardship. The text of
the sermon was 1 Cor. 4:2 and
Luke 16:2. The Christian principle
of stewardship, as given by the pas-
tor, is this: Of all that men com-
monly call theii*s, whether it be
money, or lands, or other property,
or time, or skill, or friends, or fam-
ily, or influence or any other thing,
they do not own, and can not own
one single thing. All of these
things belong to God to be used for
Him according to His desire and in
the interest of His kingdom. A
maif going into another country in-
trusted his wealth to his servants;
he gave to one five talents, to an-
other two, to another one. After
a long time he went back and had
a settlement with these servants.
The man with the five talents had
gained five more, and the man of
two talents had gained two more,
but the man of one talent had tried
to be less than a steward. He
had done absolutely nothing with
the talent that had been entrusted
to him. He brought it back to his
master and said, “Lo, thou hast
thine own.” But the master called
him a “wicked and slothful ser-
vant.’ Why was he wicked when
he had done nothing? The very
reason for the charge of wickedness
was because he had done nothing.
He had alloxved his talent to lie idle
when he ought to have been using
it and increasing it. God rewards
a steward, according to the way he
has used his talents. God is going
to call on him to give account of
his stewardship. If he has put oth-
er things before the glory of God
he will have God’s disfavor and fail
in all he undertakes. There are

TRAINING CUSSES
METHODIST CHURCH
TO aOSE TONIGHT
The classes that have been taking
the courses in the Standard Training
School for Sunday school workers
during this week will finish their
work with the closing class periods
this evening from 7:30 to 9:30, fol-
lowing which will be the awarding
of certificates to those who have
done the required credit work in the
school. It is thought by the in-
structors that more than fifty credits
will be given in the several classes,
and if so, Mr. Moerner, the Con-
ference Sunday school superintend-
ent, who has charge of the school,
tells us that this will be the great-
est number of certificates that has
been issued in any Sunday school in
the conference up to this time.
First church, Paris, has held this
distinction for the past year, having
had forty-four certificates issued to
them at the close of the Standard
Training School held at that place.
The members of these classes
have thoroughly enjoyed the work
they have done under these splendid
instructors and fully realize that
this has been an opportunity for
them to receive much real help that
will be of great benefit to them in
their future plans and efforts to
make their respective departments
and classes attain the highest stand-
ards. We feel that nothing has
been left undone by these several
teachers to make the work profitable
to our Sunday school and church
work, and that we are very fortu-
nate in securing the services of
these Christian men and women
who are devoting their time and ef-
forts to carry on this great work,
in such a broad field of service.
May it be our good fortune to have
them with us again.

Moscow, Sept. 5.—Soviet Russia
takes serious of the view of the
Chinese affairs and is not going1 to
remain indifferent, says M. Roth_
stein, member of the presiding com”
mittee of foreign office, in an of-
ficial statement to foreign corres-
pondents.
“We have ground to suspect some
arrangement was arrived at between
the great powers as regards to Cfcim
during Secretary Hughes’ stay in
London,” the statement asserts.
“We believe the United States
abandoned its policy as open door
and has decided to divide the zones
of interest in China.”
