The speaker today was Eugene Couch of Aberdeen, S.

The impersonations were decidedly clever and the crowd enjoyed them immensely. Homer P. Ames read his autobiography divided into seven chapters. In chapter V, on Character and Disposition, he said he had a very mild and retiring disposition, very different from the self-assertiveness of Dave Jessurun. He dedicated his story to the Kiwanis Club, for the benefit of future generations. When he had finished Jessurun gave what he said was the correct version of Ames’ life. More fun came when President McCord, announcing that the Americans at the Battle of Bull Run had been ordered to wait until they saw the whites of the enemies’ eyes, advised his hearers to do the same, and opened a pitched battle with little rubber balls, of which two had been distributed to each man. The balls flew thick and fast, and it was a lucky man who escaped. President McCord announced that reservations should be made with Secretary Harry I. Horn by Monday for the entertainment to be given by Pasadena Kiwanians at the Hotel Maryland in honor of Leslie Henry, trustee-elect of Kiwanis. He also announced the public meeting and entertainment to be given by the American Legion auxiliary at the headquarters in the City Hall on the evening of July 12.

CHURCH I. N. S. Staff Correspondent LONDON, July 3 — Count De Saint Aulaire, French ambassador to London, and Lord Curzon, British secretary for foreign affairs, conferred for an hour this afternoon on points of variance of the two countries on the Ruhr occupation and the reparations settlement. No announcement was made of the results of the conversation. It was understood that the French ambassador stated the French policy in the most general terms and that further discussions would be necessary. No written answer to Lord Curzon’s recent questionnaire, seeking specific answers to inquiries as to France’s policy, was made by the Count. It was understood that he answered verbally such questions as he could from written instructions from Premier Policare. Opinion here, based on reports from Paris, was that the French attitude as outlined by her ambassador does not yield insistence on the cessation of the passive resistance to the Ruhr occupation. LONDON, July 3 — Tension between England and France on the Ruhr and reparations problems was increased today as a result of the development that delayed conversations yesterday between Count De Saint Auliere, French ambassador to London, and Lord Curzon, British secretary of foreign affairs. Count De Saint Aulaire was expected to visit the foreign office again today and make a verbal answer to the Curzon questionnaire as the French interpretation of passive resistance, which has been the stumping block in the path of concerted allied action on reparations.

Count De Saint Aulaire was expected to visit the foreign office again today and make a verbal answer to the Curron questionnaire as the French interpretation of passive resistance, which has been the stumbling block in the path of concerted allied action on reparations. Press comment, which was responsible for the failure of the representatives of the two countries to get together Monday, again suggested today that "the time is ripe for independent action" on the part of England. Such suggestions, given a semi-official tone, roused resentment in Paris, altho denied in Paris by the foreign office. In French circles the press reports that England would take independent action unless speedy agreement was reached with France, were interpreted as "threatening," and Premier Poincare is understood to have sent a note to Lord Curzon, stating that France could not enter negotiations "under menace." Count De Saint Aulaire early in the day had not informed British officials when he would present his answer to Lord Curzon. It was indicated that the French attitude of apparent indifference was giving rise to a feeling of impatience and resentment in official circles.

American consular officers, keeping strict watch upon ship operations at foreign ports, cabled that foreign liners are taking aboard only liquor to safeguard needs of passengers and crews on the western trip.
