, ‘ A .of the belief in many quarters that a ITALY PREPARES 10 PUSH OFFENSIVE IN NORTHERN ETHIOPIA France Notifies Rome She Will Stand Shoulder-to-Should- er With British (By The Associated Press) A further penetration of northern Ethiopia behind the bombs of air- planes was reported Wednesday by the Italian military command to its government in Rome. This penetra- tion was regarded as the preliminary to a new major offensive before the advent of the spring rains. Italy proper strengthened its own @efense structure through new milt- tary preparations. The government at Rome an- nounced that it had received a note from France placing that nation shoulder-to-shoulder with Great Britain in the agreement for mutual assistance in the Mediterranean. Great Britain itself considered needs for increased national defenses in view new armements race was imminent. On the eve of the cabinet session, the Earl of Stanhope, under-secretary for foreign affairs, told the House of Lords that “threats” from Italy were the real reason why the British feet, had been sent from Malta, close to Sicily, to the eastern Mediterranean. The first white men captured by the Italian army on the northern front in Ethiopia left Wednesday as prisoners of war for Italy. The men are Dr. Maximillan Stanislaus Below, 36, and Thadeus Medynski, a Warsaw newspaper correspondent. Both the prisoners said they were citizens of Poland and attached to the Eth‘opian medical service. They surrendered Feb. 16 in the battle of Amba Ara- dam. Leslie Brown, secretary in Addis Ababa for the International Red Cross, cabled to Geneva demanding that an explanation be obtained from the Italian government for the cap- ture of the Poles. Red Cross officials in Addis Ababa claimed their cepture as prisoners of war was a violation of the International Red Cross con- vention. DIXIE DEVELOPMENT MAY THREATEN, W. Southern Farmers Turning to Livestock Production in Lieu of Cotton Minneapolis, Feb. 19.—(?)—Possible curtailing of local livestock leader- ship by development of diversified farming in southern states was indi- cated as a possibility Wednesday by B. E. Groom, analyist in farm develop- ment and chairman of the Greater North Dakota association. Groom was scheduled to speak be-| —. fore the second session of the con- vention of the Farmers Elevator as- sociation of Minnesota today. He re- cently returned from @ 7,000 mile trip through Southern states. “While this may not have any ser- lous effect on livestock and grain pro- duction here,” he said, “there is no doubt but that increased reduction of cotton and tobacco planting in preference to livestock will make some impression upon production in the northwest.” ‘Fhe agricultural expert said one of It’s easy to make both ends meet when you eat at the Prince.

Sol Bloom, Walter Johnson and one silver dollar. It was raised by Barney Thames, a powerful dollar-tosser of Wellington, | Kansas, and evidently a strong be- liever in the story that George Wash- ington once threw a silver “cart wheel” across the Rappahannock river at Fredericksburg, Va. Hearing that Representative Bloom of New York, a student of history, had pooh-poohed the legend and offered to bet 20 to 1 that Walter Johnson, famous pitcher, can’t make such a toss either, Thames telegraphed: “If supreme court ever reviews Bloom it will declare him unconstitu- tional from his collar button up. On the afternoon of the second Sunday in November, 1917, I myself threw a |silver dollar across Rappahannock at Fredericksburg. I was then a United ‘States marine.” This was only one of many mes- isages, insulting and otherwise, that descended on Bloom—while Johnson continued training for his attempt to duplicate the feat as part of Fred- ericksburg’s celebration of Washing- ton’s 204th birthday anniversary Sat- urday. On paper Bloom stands to lose more than $100,000 if Johnson makes the toss. Among those who rushed to take hh bet was Ben Pitts, president of the Fredericksburg chamber of com- merce, who put up $5,000. But it appeared the betting never |would emerge from the conversational realm. Bloom insists the Rappahan- nock was so wide in Washington's day that the father of his country would have to throw the dollar 1,500 feet, which is obviously impossible. the more important factors in de- velopment of wheat in Ohio, Indiana.

Collapse of the price rendered it impossible for the pools to make the customary adjust- ments so that all producers from whom they purchased that year would receive payment at the same rate.

S. A. Carey announced Wednesday an invitation to Senator Gerald P. Nye to address the annual meeting of the Detroit conference of the Methodist Episcopal church here in June had been cancelled. The action was taken because Cal- umet Methodist leaders objected to “the injection of political affairs into a church ‘meeting,” he said. Mr. Carey is pastor of the Calumet church. At a meeting in Detroit Monday, the M. E. Preachers’ association pro- tested against the move to cancel the invitation. Rev. Frederick G. Pools, conference director of religious edu- cation, charged the Calumet & Hecla Copper company owns the property on which the church stands, and that it was bringing pressure to bear to cancel Nye’s lecture. Mr. Carey and J. J, Mechiin, chairman of the Calumet church board of stewards, denied Mr. Poole’s assertion. “Until Monday the management of the Calumet & Hecla knew nothing whatever of the possibility of Senator Nye addressing the annual conference in June,” Mechlin said. “Furthermore, the company is indifferent about Nye or anyone else addressing the con- ference.” MRS.
