In Northern Italy
LONDON, April 8 —<l\E>— The cabinet, after an extraordinary session of four hours, was understood to have decided tonight that Germany’s counter-proposals for peace are unacceptable. A cool attitude toward the projected French-Rus-sian-Czeclioslovakian military alliance, to check the Reich's re-armament, was decided upon.
Sir John Simon, foreign secretary, reportedly’ Informed the German ambassador. Dr. Leopold Von Hoesch. that Britain is disinclined to consider as a suitable basis for negotiation Adolf Hitler's suggestion for a new European arrangement for financial and economic assistance against any aggressor nation. Von Hoesch left patently disappointed.
MacDonald To Go
Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald simultaneously announced he would accompany Sir John to the three-power parley Thursday with Italy and France at Stresa. northern Italy, to consider united action on Berlin’s re-armament.
Advices from Paris indicated this would influence Premier Pierre-Etienne Flandin to do likewise, thus putting new life into the parley, which is regarded skeptically in many auarters.
Officials Reticent
Officials were reticent on the lengthy cabinet sessions, but persons close to the government thought that the cabinet was inclined to oppose the projected French-Rus-sian-Czechoslovakian military alliance without Germany and Poland, and indicated strong preference for the French-Italian proposal to tighten up articles 10 and 16 in the league covenant, calling for action by members in the face of war threats.
The prospects of success at Stresa were viewed skeptically because both the French and Italians evidently are anxious to take a far stronger line in establishing a three-point anti-German front at Stresa than England is willing to do.
‘Student’s God’ Is Chapel Hour Subject
“A College Student's God” is the subject of a talk to be given today at chapel hour in Bovard auditorium by William Henley, a member of the S.C. faculty and former student body president.

Adolph S. Ochs, Publisher, Dies Of Hemorrhage
Owner of Chattanooga and New York Newspapers Stricken Suddenly
Story of Life Is Romantic
Editor Began Long Career As Delivery Boy for Knoxville Daily
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn.. April 8 —(UP)—Adolph S. Ochs. 77„ publisher of the New York Times and the Chattanooga Times, died suddenly late today of a cerebral hemorrhage.
In precarious health for three years, the man who started carrying newspapers as an ll-year-old boy in Knoxville and became one of the world’s best known newspaper publishers, was stricken suddenly while attending a luncheon in a downtown restaurant.
Rushed To Sanitarium He was rushed to Newell sanitarium where he died shortly after 5 pjn. EST.
Ochs came here last ni&nt to visit relatives and inspect the Chattanooga Times, of which his nephew, A. Shelby Ochs II, is general manager.
The story of his career is a romance of material and ethical achievement, the adventure story typical of American life; the story of a man whose rugged honesty, keen intellect and determination paid him magic dividends.
Born In Cincinnati He was bom in Cincinnati, O.. March 12. 1858, the son of Julius Ochs and Bertha Levy Ochs. Julius Ochs, at 18. came to this country from his native Germany in 1844 Adolph was only seven when his family moved to Knoxville, Tenn.. and at 11 began delivering newspapers for the Knoxville Chronicle. For the next two or three years he did odd Jobs but finally, at 15, he quit school and took a job as printer’s devU on the Chronicle.
Moved To Chattanooga
In 1878 he moved to Chattanooga where he held every position of
Importance on the Daily Dispatch.
When the Dispatch failed in 1878 young Ochs—then only 30 years old—was appointed receiver. He liquidated its debts and after it wax consolidated with the Chattanooga Times gained control of the consolidated paper.
Eighteen years later, when he had established himself as an able and progressive newspaper publisher in the south, he received a telegram from a friend on the New York Times telling him that that once influential paper was foundering.
He pooled his resources and hurried to New York. There he found the Times had fallen from its great position to less than 10.000 daily circulation. Finally, after considerable negotiating, his offer of $75,000 cash was accepted.
