Mesaags te Congress. In sddlilou lo much actual business put through, the following matters de veloped : 1. It became known that President Harding hus decided to send a mesaage to rotigresa setting forward the Im practicability of enforcing al the prewent time section inlrty-four of the merchant marina act, giving prefer ential rates on goods shipped In Ameri can veaaela. This connects Itself with the conference In the general belief that the Impracticability referred to means the probability that the work of the delegates would proceed leas smoothly If questions relating to ocean shipping were presned. 2. Ma.-h .aors eiuf.hartj st&ten.40tt were given than ever before. In official circles, to tbe belief of the Prealdent laat -sho- foil ring step sroeud bo natural, agreeable to blm and ex pected by hi in. aa an individual. It be ing always pointed out that tbey are for the conference, not for blm. to determine: (a. I That the agreements reached will be submitted to other nations, email and large, for ratifications. Thai Is the case of most of the natlous tbe ratifications will probably be at an other conference but that In the case of a few countries. Including Germany, the railflcatlon should be at the present conference. (h.)Thal the form in which the agree ments are put by the conference la of no Importance. In the opinion of the President a gentleman's agreement Is aa likely to hold as a treaty. (c.) That sir. Harding's association of nations should grow out of the Is create In the agreetnenta reached, and the increase In tbe number of nations brought In to ratify these agreements. No Steps Taken. Also It waa said that congreas would no more think of building battleships In opposition to sn executive agree ment than the President would think of tying all tbe battleships up to lbs whsrvea. as he could literally do, act ing aa communder In chief. 3. While no technical steps were taken about Innd armaments, the posi tion In which that subject Is left hy the Itrtand episode was made clear. It la believed lhat the work now being done on the quantity, character and the use of aircraft to be permitted, on the use of giis and on the whole question of war ethics, may lead the committees fsr Into the general ques tion of land armaments. 4. The French ioalt!on snd Lord Cur son's sttack on It waa the subject most discussed In conversstlons out side the committee rooms. In addition to the ohjectlona fully put by iho British there Is a special Italian ob jection that the French naval program Is bused on the desire to hold a routs by which a million colored troops can be transported to Europe. 5. octor Wung, of the Chinese delegation, absolutely denied the print ed story of friction Iwtwii-n the British and Chinese.

Hutchins, pastor of the Union Church, of Berea, and father of Wm. J. Hutchins, President j of Berea College, died at his home i on Prospect street Wednesday, No- vember 30, st 8:30 p. m, st the atrejporal possessions of the Pops includ- of 83. He had appeared to be in usual hea'th and had preached in the Union Church on Sunday morning before his death. Following is a brief statement of his life: Dr. Robert Grosvenor Hutchins, of New England ancestry, was born ln.inteI enc" ,na w0'"0" t Danielson. ConrnvtimtL in lata Wj changed condit ons. Hs has. more- graduated from Philips Academy, Andover, and from Williams College in 1861, and from Andover Theolog. icsl Seminary in 1865. At the time of the Civil War his health did not permit him to serve in the army, but he took his part as s member of the chri8tUn Comm,ioilf prwchln)r r " the dismounted soldiers st City Point His first pastorate was in Brooklyn. New York. This wss succeeded bV ten years of rotable ministry in the First Congregational Church at Co lumbus, Oh'o, where he wss the im mediate predecessor of Washington Gladden. After four years' of sig nificant ministry in Plymouth Church, Minneapolis, he came to the Second Congregational Church of Oberlln, Ohio, where ho preached to throngs of citizens and students. Hs sub sequently becsms ths pastor of the First Church of Los Angeles, Cali fornia. In his later Tears he served the Woodland Avenue Church, Cleve land, Oh'o, and gave himself lavishly to the service of churches in Fostoria and Garrettsville. Ohio. In 1919 the Pastoral Committee of the Union Church of Berea invited him to preach for a month or two. This tempo rary appointment lengthened into a pastorate which has been s benedic tion to the Union Church, to the greet student body, and to all the community of Berea. His enthusi asm and faith were the prime inspl- rmion in me erection or ths new Un'on Church. For msny yesrs Dr. Hutchins has been recognized as ore of ths fore most "extemporaneous" preachers In the country. His sermns were al wavs prepared with elaborate care but had the freshness snd spontaneity gained only by freedom from manu script. The funeral services will he held in the College Chanel, Berea, Saturday, 2:30 p. m. Professor James Watt Raine, an old friend of Dr. Hutchins, will conduct the exercises, snd stu- dents and citiiens are invited to hava dons for ths people who sre hidden away in a thoussnd silent snd , untrampled vallevs over yonder.

R. Robertson, Professor rtisfory and Political Science Beres College The leading event of ths week in connection w'th the Washington con ference is President tlard'ng's sug gestion for an Association of Nations. It came about naturally as the con ference reached s point where ths problem of enforcing the conclu sions arrived at, became pressing. The plan has not yet assumed any definite form. It is thought that nothing more is meant than a some what informal associat;on, including the rations now in conference and others later. Nor is the sugges'.icn believed to intend s covenant with obligations and penalties, with guar antees for enforcement. It seems rather to rest on s mutual under standing or gentleman's agreement. To all intents it would be a plan for conferences, at frequent intervals or as reed m;ght arise. Tlie sugges tion is so lacking in deflniteness that the comments are varied. The ides is launched, however, and will prob ably take more definite shape during the week. A very significant report is ths ons that suggests the possibility of an early reconciliation between Italy and the Pope. Ever since ths year 1870, when Italy was united snd the tem- ed in the Italian nation, the Pope has considered himself s prisoner snd has refused to acknowledge the stats or to accept the appropriation that was made for his use. The present Pops Benedict has shown many signs of over, done much to restore the spirit ual and moral influence of the church snd seems to be mors concerned with that than with keeping slivs dead is sues. He is in sympathy with the peace policy of Europe and ths world and has contributed much toward it Another important change in Ja pan is the appointment of the Crown Prince, Hiroshiro, ss Regent of tha Empire. The emperor has been fail ing in health and desires to give up the sctive control to snother. Ths Prince has recently been traveling thru Europe and America snd msdj a good impress'on. He is only twenty years of age and is ssid to be progressive snd democratic in his sympathies. These changes, coming Just at this time, are moat important, and it is to be hoped may aid in ths solution of the problems of the Far rase Japan's pos fon is s very hard one indeed. She is an object of distrust because of her ambitions snd her efforts to realize them. There ia need for great wisdom on the part of her statesmen and self control on the part of her people. The French premier, Brlsnd, hss gone home, satisfied as hs ssys. with what has been done. It is believed thst he hoped snd expected to secure stronger guersntees from his former allies of protection sgs'rst s reoc currence of German aggression. Ho did, however, secure soms assurances thst France would not be deserted in case of trouble, and will probably have to make ths best of that Both Fngland and Italy srs irrtated with what seems to them sn unwarranted fear on the part of France. It leads to the impression that defense Is only s cover to smbition to domi nate ths policies of Europe. There has been some pretty strs'ght talk during the conference that may serve in time to bring good results. In leaving, Briand said that Francs could bs depended on to help ths csnse of pesce which ths conference desires. Our distinguished visitors must bs receiving varied impressions of Amer. Ira.
