Italy suffered a crushing defeat, not yet avenged, at the hands of Ethiopia .at Aduwa in 1896, when 8,000 Italians were killed and 3,000 captured. Tl Duce, early in 1934, said Italy's future lies in Africa, which Bone be brought into civiliza- in.” Border clashes between Ethio- pians and Italians, especially that at Walwal- in’ December, 1934, brought the situation into the world spotlight. Each nation charged aggression by the other, and Ethiopia demanded that the League of Nations investigate. Italy charged Ethiopia should be removed ftom the League, that the Ethiopian government was unfit to rule its diversified peoples, that its wandering tribes constantly menaced Italian col- onies, and that Italy must control and “civilize” the country in self- protection, The League found no solution acceptable to both. The League council was officially convoked for an emergency session Saturday morning to deal with the conflict. The Italian message, signed by Fulvio Suvich, undersecretary for for- eign affairs, asserted Ethiopla’s ag- gressive spirit had found its latest complete expression in general mob- ilization of the Ethiopian forces—an act which Italy called a direct, im- mediate threat to Italy's troops in East Africa. Eden, Laval Absent League officials said it was desired to convoke the session sooner than Saturday, but Anthony Eden, British minister of the League of Nations affairs, was not yet in Geneva, Pre- mier Pierre Laval of France had a vital cabinet meeting Friday, and Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy had be given time to arrive from Rome. The League expected Italy to sub- mit an argument for self defense—as Indicated in the Suvich telegram but it foresaw that Aloisi would, as here- tofore, refuse to sit st the same coun- cil table with the repre- sentative, A Mussolini communique had al- teady made if known, however, that [taly would not leave the League un- until the League clearly took on it- self the responsibility for “measures which strike at Italy.” The telegram from the government of Haile Selassie, reporting continu- ance of a battle in Ethiopia, said: ‘Salled Covenant Breach “These facts in in territory constitute a violation of the empire’s frontier and a breach of covenant by Italian aggression.” general mobilization,” it read, “this has taken on’ s volume of importance which is much more con- siderable, which manifestly: involves in one of the coldest, windiest days in all World Series history.

THIRD IN DECLINE OF RELIEF FAMILIES State’s Reduction of Aid List Is 22.2 Per Cent of National Falling-Off Sek Hg FATHER KILLS THREE CHILDREN AND SELF, WOUNDS HIS WIFE Son of Drayton, N. D., Man Goes Berserk in His Min- neapolis Home Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 3.—(P)—A crazed father early Thursday emptied a pistol at his family, killing two daughters and a son, critically wounding his wife, and reloaded the gun to kill himself. A 10-year-old daughter cowered in an upstairs closet when Detectives Harry Johnson and C. A. LaPalme, question but murder and suicide,” arrived at the home, Neither police nor horrified neigh- bors, awakened by gun shots between 2 and 3 a. m., could give an expla- nation. Coming home between those hours, William Holler, 41, bakery route fore~ man, apparently deliberately turned the gun on the family, the detectices said. Holler shot his wife, Winifred, 41, through the neck, slew June, 14, and wounded Duane, 16, and Harris, 18, sons. Leaps to Safety Leaping through a second story window, Harris escaped with a bullet in his arm. In critical condition at a hospital, the wife was not able to talk. First ‘crouching behind a living room couch, Alvina, 10, a third daughter, fled upstairs while Holler. reloaded the pistol, police said. When Detectives Johnson and LaPalme ar- rived, they heard a slight tapping on the closet door and found the child, Holler, police said, called the sales manager of the bakery, F. W. Kaeppel, presumably after he had shot the family. “I've just shot my family and I’m going to kill myself,” Kaeppel quoted Holler’s telephone call. Kaeppel said he tried to dissuade Holler but assert- ed the latter only retorted: “It’s too late now.” Holler’s father, a county commis- sioner at Drayton, N. D., was notified of the tragedy by Dr. Gilbert Sea- shore, Hennepin county coroner. Seek Woman in Case Police set out to find an unnamed ‘woman who, Kaeppel said Holler told him, had been carrying on an affair with the bakery man. In distracted conversation with Kaeppel on the telephone, the sales manager said Holler asserted he tried to kill the woman, a waitress, the previous night by hitting her on the head with a chair. “Holler had explained to me be- fore that he was worried about this other affair,” Kaeppel told police. “He also had some bills to meet, “He had an affair with this other woman and had tried to break it off. He, wanted to go back to his family and she wouldn’t let him go. I be- eve he went temporarily insane.” HOLLERS FORMERLY LIVED AT DRAYTON Drayton, N.

AMERIGA TO REMAIN UNENTANGLED, FREE, PRESIDENT STATES | — Sails South After Serving No-. «tice This*Nation Intends toKeep Peace ~ En Route with President Roosevelt on the Pacific, Oct. 3.—(#)—President Roosevelt cruised southward off the Pacific coast of Mexico Thursday af- ter a review of the United States fleet and a sharp notice to the world of America’s determination to remain “unentangled and free.” The president boarded the navy cruiser Houston late Wednesday at San Diego and from it watched the naval demonstration which ended at sunset. It was one of the most com- plete tactical exercises of the fleet. Off the Coronados islands, just over the boundary from the United States and still in sight of the lights of San Diego, Admiral Joseph M. Reeves, commander of the fleet, departed to return to his flagship. The demonstration of naval power followed Mr. Roosevelt's speech in which he declared: “We not only earnestly desire peace but we are moved by a stern determination to avoid those perils that will endanger our peace with the world.” Despite what happens in other na- tions, the president said, “the United States of America shall and must re- expects to remain at peace with the world.” As the cruiser Houston steamed out {into the Pacific from here, the fleet, including 499 fighting planes, staged the first naval practice ever-presented Fed @ president of the United Truck Driver Cheats Death in Train Crash Bethel, Minn.

As the thud of marching feet over- seas shook stock prices to lower lev- els Wednesday and sent wheat values kiting in the Chicago pit, leaders here and elsewhere swiftly declared that, America’s mind is set on peace, and against foreign entanglements. Secretary Hull called on churchmen to conduct a “flaming crusade” for peace. The day’s market news prompted another cabinet member, Secretary Wallace, to turn his mind back to 1914 and then to issue a warning to farmers to beware of pitfalls such as trapped some of them at that time. |. Noting that Chicago wheat prices ‘had jumped 5 cents (the limit al- lowed on a single day), Wallace ex- pressed a belief that farmers should think twice before going heavily into debt and buying new lands on the strength of speculative prices. They ‘should consider, he said, the slumps which follow speculative soarings. His remarks came at the close of ;® day which, besides the reactions on stock and grain exchanges, brought government reports showing near- record shipments of American cotton linters (potential materials for ex- ‘plostves); scrap iron’ ghd ‘steel, trucks and tractors to Italy. » We Secretary Hull, addressing @ mass meeting of people of several religious faiths called by the committee on re- , ligious life, said: | “Present dangers are a challenge ‘to the church to engage in what should be nothing less than a flam- jing crusade.” SPUD CONTROL ACT | HEARING IS STORMY North Carolina Democrats De- mand That Wallace En- force Law Provisions Washington, Oct. 3.—(#)—In a stormy hearing before the agricul- tural adjustment administration | Thursday, Senator Bailey and Rep.

Addis Ababa, Oct. 3—(?)—Fierce fighting and the retreat of Italian forces was reported from Tigre province, the buffer between Eritrea and the interior of Ethiopia. The Italians, who had ad- vanced across the border, were reported to be fleeing with their air- planes covering the retreat. Paris, Oct. 3—(AP)—An agreement between French and British leaders on League of Nations action for the immediate rupture of financial and economic relations with Italy was announced Thursday. This action followed an hour’s conference between Premier Laval and Anthony Eden, British minister for League of Nations affairs. ‘ (By the Associated Press) ° War, although not formally declared, raged Thursday in Ethiopia. Mussolini’s legions from Rome, having crossed the boun- dary of Eritrea, were on Ethiopian soil. Emperor Haile Selassie mobilized the entire manpower of his mountainous land to turn back the invasion of Il Duce. The reports of fierce fighting, of Italian air raids, re-echoed ominously over the capitals 6f the . . In Geneva, m Lon- don, Paris, throughout all Europe, statesmen asked: Will it be 1914 all over again? The first casualties were reported to have been in Aduwa, on the northern boundary of Ethiopia. It was here the Ethio- pians turned back the Italian invasion of 40 years ago. Ethiopia announced that Italian planes bombarded Aduwa and Adigrat, killing civilians, and that there was a battle in the province of Agme. The Italian government denied the bombardment. Hand-to-hand conflict was reported in northern Tigre prov- ince, the Ethiopian buffer up against Eritrea. The government in Addis Ababa said the Ethiopian troops forced the retreat of Il Duce’s troops. Italian airplanes were covering the retreat. In Addis Ababa, the Italian minister, Luigi Vinci-Gigliucci, was handed his passport. Emperor Haile Selassie ordered a spécial train, guarded by machine guns, to escort him to French Somaliland. Around Addis Ababa, air patrol guards watched the skies to the north and east. The city was fearful of air raids. The United States legation unfurled its largest stars and |Pan' stripes. The Red Cross buildings, after the report from Aduwa, were plainly marked. . Italians kept to their homes in the Ethiopian capital. The rapid evacuation of all Italians was expected, There was no declaration of war. One British government source, commenting on the air raid report from Addis Ababa, said, “This is the only declaration of war there will be.” League of Nations circles said war was in effect. In London, the Italian invasion, if the reports are borne out, was regarded as a distinct violation of the covenant of the eague. The king of kings charged women and children were killed not only at Aduwa but at Adigrat. a‘ The French government, reported assured by Premier Mussolini’s promise that war in East Africa would not mean a European war, was prepared to-confer further with Great Britain as to what the two nations’ joint attitude would be. France was said to feel more confident, in the face of the East African hostilities, by Adolf Hitler’s promise that Germany had no desire to engage in war. | : President Roosevelt, speaking Wednesday at San Diego, said that foreign war was a “potent danger,” but that the United States would remain “unentangled” in such hostilities. Crowds milled in Downing street, London, talking only of the war and speculating as to whether Great Britain would be drawn into it. 5 aS Demonstrations were reported from widely scattered cities.

C.—Henry A. Wal« lace believes the Democrats are go= ing to win the 1936 election—but he fears they will have some anxious moe ments before the votes are counted. Wallace is thoroughly aware of the current swing away from the admin- istration, as is everyone else in Wash- ington. He has told his cohorts he expects it to continue until next June, Then he is confident there will be a reversal of the tide and Roosevelt will sweep to victory. . Why June? Well that, Mr. Wallace opines, is the time when the Republicans will have to say what they are going to do about it. Since a good many cur- rent knocks are directed at him as boss of the AAA, he feels that the High Cost of Living will be a big is- sue in 1936; that the AAA will be put under fire and that the farmers of the nation will rise to defend it. Hence his forecast of a low in June and a high in November. ee * EXCHANGES VIEWS, BUT IGNORES QUESTIONS Interviewing Wallace, by the way, is somewhat like talking to the good hay crop, bitterly disappointed at the wheat situation. He wishes the fine crop prospect of early July had come to harvest in August. The farmers, he knows, would have been happier and so would the consumers. Among other things he wanted to know if farmers generally had taken advantage of the opportunity to plant their normal acreage, wanted to know why they hadnt. The an- swer that they lacked money, farm pewer and’ seed the’ drouth ‘of 1986 was eto him, * ek & HIS PET PLAN HASN'T GONE FAR The ever-normal granary, a pet idea of Wallace's still is being talked about but it hasn't gone far. The difficulty is storage facilities. Some grain men at terminals have offered part of their space at a cut rate but the proposal still is up in the air. As it stands now, it isn’t going any place. The farmers haven't enough storage space and Wallace seems unwilling to bring the terminal men into it. On the whole, he thinks the cur- rent tendency of farmers to criticize the AAA is a healthy one and will be helpful in the end. He likes this evidence of interest even though it sometimes scorches the seat of his ts. “What are the plans for next year?” “Well, mmmmm.” Italo-Ethiopian | Situation Today | o London, Oct. 4.—(?)—British naval movements designed to protect Brit- ish- interests continued at high speed Thursday.
