In the statement of July 16, Hull had enunciated 14 principles cf American international policy. One of the 14 principles was “adjustment of problems in inter aational relations by processes of peaceful negotiation and agree ment." Hull said tonight he believed these principles could be applied throughout the world, “in the paci fic area as elsewhere.” Japan, one of 60 nations which commented at Hull’s request on his previous statement, said it felt the principles could be applied to the far east only “by a full recogni tion and practical consideration of the actual particular circumstances of that region.” Labor Probe Atlantic City, N.

Church Activity At E E. Church Morning Hoar. Sunday, Aug. 22, was a good day with the Central Methodist Protestant church of Asheboro. The morning hour was taken up with the christening of babies and the reception of members into the church. The following babies were chris tened: Mary Ann Bulla, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bulla, Don ald Sanborn Redding, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Redding, Jr., and Jackson Allen Henley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Henley. Those received into the church are Mrs. John McDowell, Mrs. C. H. Mocitt, Mrs. William Bulla, Thomas McDowell, and George Hughes. The church is pleased with these valuable additions. The Sunday school was good, with 275 in attendance and 738 offering. A pleasing and impressive candle service was conducted by the C. E. society in the evening worship. The attendance was gratifying, and no doubt would have been much larger but for the very threatening cloud that gathered just as the ser vice wa3 beginning:. Owing to the union revival meet ing all night preaching services will be discontinued until the first of October. The Sunday school and morning worship will not be interrupted by the meeting, and will go on as usual. The contemplated building and heating improvements for the church have been suspended until spring. This was recommended by the trustees and approved by a cote of the congregation yesterday morning. The necessity for this postponement grows out of the fact that the annual conference meets with this church Nov. 4, and the improvements could not be com pleted by that time. But on rec ommendation of the trustees the congregation did authorise the painting of the exterior of the church. This will be done at once. Hermon Dillard, who has been with tha church since June 1, as di rector of young people’s activities for the summer, will leave the first of next week. After a few days with his relatives, he will enter a theological school of the Southern Presbyterian church, at Decatur, Ga. Mr. Dillard has done splendid work in his department, and has endeared himself to thecongrega tion as a whole, and to the young people in particular. Itis a mat ter of regret to the church that he has to leave.

Pleasant, Texas, team. Rupert Trollinger, manager of the Sunset cafe, will open his spe cial leased wire from the Wichita press box to the Asheboro gym nt 10:30 o’clock. Details of the play-by-play events will be broad cast to the audience as fast as they take place in Wichita. Mt. Pleasant eliminated the fast Spartanburg, S. C., team from the tourney Sunday night. The South Carolina team was considered one of the outstanding teams in the tournament and with their victors lining up against the Eagles prom ises a stiff battle. Defeat of the Eagles will mean their elimnation from the series while victory will send them against those strong teams bidding for top honors. Manager Neely Hunter, in a tele gram to Charles McCrary today said the team was in excellent shape and that he had not decided what hurler to start. “Reel” Nor ris, champ hurler of the State and Inter-city series and Lankford have not seen action for more than a week. Either man may be choc en to carry the banner in this im portant series. Norris, one of the strongest and fastest ball hurlers in the inter city league, is itching for a chance to turn back Mt. Pleasant. He met defeat in his first start through a series of events that could not be overcome. A couple of hits by the first two men to face him, upset Red for the moment and then he was relieved.

Advise Roosevelt Recall of Legislators in Octo ber Will Cut Into Election Plans. Washington, Aug. 24.—(Ah—A group of influential democrats to day, expressed strong opposition to a special session in the fall on the grounds that it might increase party dissension. One leader, who preferred not to have his name mentioned, said “no practical good and some harm might come from a special session for consideration of the farm and wage and hour legislation. He said he and others would so advise Mr. Roosevelt before leaving the capi tal. He said time was needed to al low' heated tempers to cool and that it would be poor policy to run the risk of reopening the party strife in October. Other members, he said, ni'ght feel not too kindly to wards the administration and its legislative proposals if summoned back to Washington while in the midst of building political fences for next fall’s election. Answering the contention that action on the farm and wage and hour legislation would permit shor tening the session in January this chieftain said, a special session would not mean taking fifteen min utes off the regular session. Realignment Of Democrats, Talk Everything Hinges on Decis ion of President, is Concen sus of Opinion. ‘ Washington, Aug. 24.—WFl— New talk of political realignment arose out of the deep division in the ranks of congressional dem ocrats—a division emphasized by their bitter adjournment day squab ble on the senate floor. The democratic dissension and the recent veiled threat by John L. Lewis, C. I. 0. chieftain, to look for a new political vehicle if demo cratic “discipline” is not restored provided the background for the speculation. Many of the! democrats lingering at the Capitol for a few days before returning home discounted the like lihood of a permanent break-up of their party, but some were not so sure the breach could be closed. Depends on F. R.’s Course A general view, held by many, was that the future of the party de pended largely upon President Roosevelt’s course—that if he pur sued a middle-of-the-road program without attempt at retaliation, the party difficulties could be smooth ed over, but that if headed “left” regardless of consequences, the split was bound to widen. In some quarters it was held that the President had not definitely started his course—that he was considering both the “non-retalia tion” doctrine enunciated last week by Democratic Chairman Farley, and the “get out of the party” pol icy suggested by Senator Guffey, democrat, of Pennsylvania, to dis senting democrats almost simul taneously. One astute senator, who did not want to be quoted by name, and that conditions are at last ripe for the long-discussed party realign ment. He contended that the solid South’s fealty to the democratic party has been the stumbling block to such developments in the past but that it is no longer an ob stacle. Underwood Rites Held Sunday P.
