The note reads: “The Belgian and 1°rench govern- ments have established that the visit of Chancellor Cuno in the Ruhr re- gion and the action he took there had for its sole object, and really re- sulted in, the provoking of a dan- gerous state of excitement, particu- larly among the big industrial lead- ers, chief functionaries and govern- ment employes. g “Under these conditions the French and Belgian governments anxious to avoid especially in the interest of the population, disorders that might be- come sanguinary, find it necessary to| inform the government of the Reich and the governments of the states that ministery’ of the Reich and of the German states will no longer be au- thorized to enter the Ruhr.” Agrcement Reached. The conference between the French 10, premier and the Belgian foreign mrin- | ister, arranged for yesterday in Brus- sels after consultations between the Belgian cabinet ministers and M. Le Trocquer, French minister of public works, resuited in the reaching of complete unity as to methods of ac- tion in the Ruhr. Gen.

John L. Davis and the need for $15,000 to huild a new Sun- day school room are mentioned in the budget of the finance committee of T'rinity Methodist church, which was raailed to members of the church this morning. The church has engaged Leonard Vokes of Boston, as assistant to Rev. Mr, Davis, Mr. Vokes will take up his duties here May 1. He is a for- mer student at the Moody Bible insti- tute, and was a student at the Lon- don Conservatory of Music, at which place he won a number of medals. He is a musical leader of wide abil- ity and the author of at least 200 hymns. Last spring Mr. Vokes visited this city and delivered an address to Ev- eryman’s Bible Class. He was connect- €d at this time with the Pocket Tes- | tament league. He will have general charge of all the young people's or- ganizations and will look after the de- | tails of the business management of the church., | The new vested chorus choir of 30 girls will be in charge of Mr. Vokes | and it is expected to increase this) choir to 100 voices before the end of | the year. | The budget calls for the raising of $15,000 for the construction in the near future of a new, modern Sunday school on the Jot in the rear of the church. The application, with all ne- cessary endorsements, is in the hands of the centenary committee for ap- proval. P The estimated expenses of the church for the year, including a slight increase in salary voted a few cks ago to the minister, amount to $13,- 132, From $600 to $1,000 is estimated as the cost for repairing the church organ and from $500 to $600 is fig- ured for improved electric hghting fa- cilities. | The plans for an assistant minister will not affect the status of the pres- ent educational director, Miss Cora Graulich, or the office secretary, Miss Gretchen Larson.
