SELASSIEPROTESTS SLAYINGOF WOMEN Doubts if Italian People Support Campaign Against Defenseless. C ht 1035, by the Associated Press. (oAply)%'lS ABABA, October 7.—] peror Haile Selassie yesterday de- livered an outspoken indictment of the war methods of Mussolini and bit- terly assailed them for wha: he called thelr measures for “civilizing” the African empire. “Mr. Mussolini,” sald the sad-eyed King of Kings, “charges us with being barbarians and says he wishes to civilize us. Is the wanton slaughter of women and children by air bombs and machine gunus the kind of civill- gation he wishes to give us? “I cannot think the great Italian people, celebrated through the cen- turies for their arts, humanities, let- ters and culture, have so little chiv- alry left toward womankind. I can- not believe that al of Mussolini's peo- ple support him i. such a campaign. “We expected that when the Ital- fans began their campaign they would | confine their operations to our sol- | diers. What does the world think of | a.lators who, when they see helpless | women and children fleeing for their | lives and the horror of air bombs, de- liberately shower them with machine- gun bullets from the air? Have gal- lantry and manliness fled from the world? Invasion Unjustified. “Besides, what have we done to provoke these cruel attacks on land and in the air? The Italians say we massacred innocent shepherds. It is untrue. The blood is on their hands, not ours. Our conscienc: is clear. The position of Ethiopia is clear and we have committed no act to justify this invasion.” The sovereign said he was especially amazed that Mussolini should order ) the air bombing of Aduwa, which, he | £aid, was completely unfortified and inhabited only by women, children, decrepit and sick, since the procla- | mation for general mobilization called all able-bodied men to the front. “No question has ever arisen be- tween Italy and Ethiopia which is in- capable of a speedy and satisfactory solution if there is a sincere desire for peace on both sides,” maintained the Emperor. “It isn't yet too late for Mussolini to discuss peace either directly with Ethiopia or through the League of Nations. “Despite the fact that our empire | s faced with the gravest crisis of its long and glorious history—a crisis provoked by a nation with which we | have always striven to live in peace | and amity—we still place all our faith in the League of Nations, which is pledged to defend its members, the small as well as the great, from unjustifiable aggression. “We still repose confidence in the conscience and heart of mankind to save a struggling and innocent people from a mighty aggressor.” Pleased With Troops. Haile Selassie said he was highly gratified by the conduct of his troops against the Italian forces. The enemy, he said, has so far only skirted the outermost rim of the Ethiopian danger zone and occupied only a few in- significant villages and towns, but would meet a far more determined Tesistance when it advances farther. Turning to the thousands of mes- | sages of encouragement he has re- | ceived, the Emperor said: “I can never forget the repeated expressions of friendship, sympathy and good will from the great nations | of North and South America, which, like ourselves, suffered and sacrificed Zor the sacred cause of independence. “We hope this message of gratitude will reach every heart overseas that has sympathized with our cause and beaten with our hearts in our struggle to keep our homes, our lives and our liberties against a state whose attack on us constitutes the greatest act of international immorality of modern times. “Handicapped as we are by lack of arms and with a mighty military machine already on our soil threaten- ing to annihilate us, we, neverthe- less, face the future with courage. “If, unhappily, Italy refuses to listen to the voice of the world crying out for peace and justice and flouts the League Assembly Wednesday, we are prepared to make the supreme sacrifice to retain our liberty, which is precious beyond price. | “We are confident of the justice of | our cause. We have unshaken faith in the proven valor of our armies and our people. We have undiminished hope in Almighty God.” WILLIAM R.

PROTEST ON SHIP BAN IS UNLIKELY Il Duce Is Said to Have Weighed Loss to Liners in War Cost. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The State Department has received | no indication, either from the Amer- ican Embassy in Rome or the Italian Embassy here, that the Italian gov- ernment intends to protest against the | proclamation of President Roosevelt | warning American citizens not to | travel on Italian ships except at their | own risk. | In responsible quarters it was stated | Mussolini would raise this question, either formally or informally. President Roosevelt has acted, in| issuing this proclamation, strictly within the neutrality act as passed | by Congress. Section Outlined. Section § of that act provides that “whenever during a war in which the United States is neutral the | President shall find that the main- | | tenance of peace between the United | | States and foreign nations or the pro- | tection of the lives of citizens of the | United States * * * requires that| American citizens should refrain from | traveling as passengers on the vessels | of any belligerent nation, e shall so proclaim, and thereafter no citizen | of the United States shall travel on any vessel of any belligerent nation except at his own risk. * * *” This section of the neutrality act is well known to the Italian govern- ment and such a proclamation, it is stated, was fully expected by Mus- | solini. It is one of those measures which he realizes are inevitable and { which have been taken into consid- eration and discounted when he de- cided to flaunt the League of Nations and wage war against Ethiopia. Ready to Pay Price. Mussolini, it is said in well-informed quarters, knows what kind of penal- ties will be inflicted on Italy and is willing to accept these mild sanctions as a price for the conquest of Et,hiopia.“ There is no doubt that the Italian trans-Atlantic lines will suffer as a consequence of the President's proc- lamation in the same manner Italian trade will suffer from the severance of trade relations with the nations | members of the League. | Yesterday's proclamation has heart- ened Geneva because the neutrality act does not make it compulsory on { the President to issue this proclama- tion. There are no Ethiopian men of war anywhere in the world and Em- peror Selassie cannot interfere with Italian shipping. British Factor Weighed. But, it is said in responsible quar- ters, President Roosevelt wanted to toke all possible precautions in the face of any imaginable emergency. By ordering soon after he decided that Italy was a belligerent the appli- cation of section 6 of the neutral- ity act, he thought of the possibility of Great Britain putting into effect a blockade of Italy. In such a case, there is no doubt that the lives and the property of American citizens traveling on ships flying the Italian flag would be endangered. In order to avoid a repetition of the situation which existed during the World War between the years 1914-1918, section 6 of the neutrality act has been put into force at once. ITALY'S PURCHASES FROM U. S. INCREASE By te Associated Press. lian trade with the United States, which may be adversely affected by the embargo, has been increasing this year. For the eight months ended with August the United States sold Italy $44,044,000 worth of goods, against $40,344,000 in the same eight months of 1934. In August United States ex- ports to Italy were $5,595,750, against $4.972,976 in August, 1934. The August, 1935, figure also rep- resented a gain of some $400,000 over July this year. United States imports from Italy, on the other hand, were down slightly in the eight-month period, amounting to $21,078,111, against $22,923,000 in the first eight months of 1934, | French Send Troops to Protect Railroad Center in Ethiopia By the Assoctated Press, DJIBOUTI, French Somaliland, October -7.—French troops will leave here tomorrow for Deri- dawa, Ethiopia, it was announced today, to protect French lives and property and the Franco- Ethiopian railroad center there.

BY JOHN JAY DALY. Military men in America and the | world over have their eyes fixed on | maps of Ethiopia. each non-partici- pant longing for opportunity to watch the Italian army in operation. From time immemorial, active armies in warfare have extended to neutral nations the privilege of sending mili- | tary observers, acompanying various units—to watch the fighting. | Up to the present moment, accord- | ing to information obtained from the ar Department, there are no| American military observers with the Italian army now operating on| Ethiopian soil. However, American | military men would give a great deal[ for the privilege of seeing how modern motorized transportation works for the Italians. There is not so much interest in the aeronautical display. What the world armies now want to know is: “How | will modern motorized transportation measure up in a wild country like Ethiopia? Especially after heavy | rains.” French Successes Noted. In the Spring maneuvers, the French | army tried out its modern light tanks than any other nation—for America under trying circumstances and found | them infinitely better than the horse in Rome these past 18 years. So it | drawn caissons of the field artillery. | Every nation in the world has gone | for the newer mode of transportation— | with America, according to high Army | officials, still a bit in the background. As one retired Army officer put it, | “We are still buying horses and paying millions of dollars for forage—while the rest of the armies of the world have gone in for motorized transpor- tation.” As Italy is the first great Western power to wage actual combat since the World War, military men of all nations are anxious to learn the re- sults of ultra-modern warfare. The world, in this respect, has advanced by gigantic steps since the ending of | hostilities in November. 1918. Chances “are, however, no military observers will be permitted to follow the wake of the Italian arm,. War Not Declared. Military men, idea, point to the technical question: No declaration of war. Italy has not declared war, as yet. They also point to an analagy between the present Eithopian campaign and that waged by Japan in Manchuria. Japan did not then invite military observers from other countries to ac- company the Japanese armies. Nor did America in the campaign against the Filipino insurrectionists. A third example is given in the Boer War. Great Britain did not invite miltary observers from other countries to watch the ousting of Oom Paul and his cohorts. So the Italians have many prece- dents for their hesitancy, so far, to invite military men of the nations to watch their handiwork in modern warfare—even though it may not be called, technically, a war. In the World War, as one army officer put it, all the neutral world was invited to send military observers to watch the workings of the Allied war machine, There was a reason for that. It showed a magnanimous spirit. It let the wide world, outside of the central powers, know that the Allies had nothing to hide—that they were waging & warfare to make the world safe for democracy. So all de- mocracy was invited to attend, in one way or another; either as participants or as military observers. Much Equipment Outmoded. Methods of warfare have advanced to such a stage that some of the equip- ment used in the World War is out- moded. Not only some, but most of it, must go by the boards. This is espe- cially true in the aeronautics branch. Naturally, military men want to see the new equipment in movement. From the Italian Embassy. the office of Lieut. Col. Vincenzo Coppola, air and military attache, no definite word could be gained about military ob- servers. Col. Coppola said he had no infor- mation on this subject; that he did not know if any military observers from other countries than the United States were with the Italian armies. American news correspondents with the Italian Army have been given the courtesy of traveling with the general stafl, at general headquarters. far as American military men are concerned, they see this as their only hope—to watch the maneuvers through the eyes of trained war correspondents. Some of the best in the business are there on the spot. Their dispatches will tell, eventually, it is hoped, just what showing modern motorized trans- portation makes against extremely difficult odds. Odds Against Observers. The odds are against military ob- during a formal war. As there is no formal warfare, the water on the possibility of mili- observers going with the advanc- to Ethiopia. in advancing this | officer said. “that miiitary observers are welcomed only when there something some great power wants to display—and the Italians are not in the position of showing off. just at present. The conflict here is between a first-class power and a fifth class power—betvieen an army equipped with every modern device and an | army native skill and crude it comfort.” In such cases, as when the United | States Army fought the cohorts of Aguinaldo, and when the British fought the Boers, there was never any great desire on the part of the stronger forces to let the whole world know what they were doing. Times Have Changed. It all goes back to what the powers at war want. In 1904, when Japan | fought the Russians, it is pointed out | that they welcomed the other armies of the world to send military observers, Since that time—and the World | War—life has changed. So far as the Italian Army is con- | cerned, America probably knows more about its equipment and flexibility is | i has had an air and military observer | was learned from high authority While our military attache at Rome was not invited to go along to Ethi- opia with the fighting Italians he has, nevertheless, had a vantage point during the period of preparation.

By the Associated Press. Treasury agents today were con- tinuing a search for three members of a narcotics ring uncovered in New Orleans with the arrest of 13 men linked by Commissioner of Narcotics Harry J. Anslinger with a revolutionary plot against the Honduran government and the assassination of Dr. Francisco Sanchez, director of public health in Honduras. ‘The commissioner said the arrests were made in a series of Saturday night raids and constituted “the most important capture of the year.” About $75,000 worth of heroin was seized. Planned to Buy Arms. Investigations begun by his agents last March Anslinger said, “‘disclosed that the proceeds from the sale of the heroin was to be used for the purchase of guns for the ‘opposition party’ in | Honduras.” He said these arms were to be shipped before the next elections in the South American republic. Anslinger said that a short time ago Dr. Sanchez, the Honduran health officer, “was killed for refusing to is- sue a certificate for the release of | these narcotics.” “This assassination has been traced to the ring.” he said. The commissioner described the nar- cotics seized as part of a legitimate shipment from France to the Hon- duran government several years ago. He was unable to say in detail how and when it was smuggled into the United States after Sanchez's death, but emphasized that his agents had traced its movements definitely to the | captured ring. | Recently, Anslinger said, his lgent.s’ arrested Henrique Coindet of Hon- duras in New Orleans, with a supply | of narcotics. | The commissioner said the arrests and seizure of the contraband were accomplished by only four agents Supervisor, Used Two Fast Yachts.

HARTFORD, Conn., October 7.—A hunt by State police and police of two cities was under way today for Francis Hutchinson, Trinity College freshman, whose home is at Sewick- ley, Pa. The young man has been missing since he was seen in Milford Saturday evening, where he was to have visited his uncle, Dr. De Witt Nettleton. Hutchinson arrived there early Sat- urday evening, but his uncle was not home at the time. Miss Annie D. Nettleton, the physician's sister, met her nephew and said he left the house for the Milford Yacht Club when she told him her brother was not home. He did not return. Dr. Nettleton, who had been aboard his yacht, the Nomad, in Milford Harbor, arrived at his home some time later and informed Milford police of the disappearance when he became alarmed at his nephew’s prolonged absence.

Initiated in 1924 by Hoover, the cole lection has grown from 810,188 finger | print cards to more than 5,200,000, An average of 3,000 such records is re- ceived daily by the bureau.

'| Series Notes DETROIT—Clifton struck out.| Reported Loss of Tigers' Trunks Causes Near Calamity. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. DETROIT, October 7.—A near- clamity befell the Detroit Tigers early this morning when their equipment | trunks being shipped from Chicago were reported lost en route. In addition to their road uniforms, sweatshirts and shoes, the trunks cone | tained the Tigers' gloves and favorite bats, and the loss might have been |a serious factor in the series. The trunks, however, were located this morning and rushed to the park, to the unrestrained joy of the Bengals. The pre-game ceremonies aren't the | same now, with Comedian Al Schacht of the Red Sox off on a Mexican tour with a team of American Leaguers. With his battered top hat and “tails,” Schacht was terrifically popu- lar with Detroit fans before the first two games of the series, as he clowned and helped to ease the tension of both players and spectators. Hank Greenberg again failed to take his batting practice today. Instead he sat on the dressing table in the club house and had his sprained left wrist bandaged by Trainer Denny Carroll, Manager Cochrane, anxiously watche ing him, was dubious as to his ability to play. Pred Lindstrom, the regular Cub center flelder, who sustained a fracture of a finger last Saturday, worked out in the outfield today and caught fly balls with his usual dexterity. Lindy has trouble gripping a bat though. Doubt that Lon Warneke would be available to pitch even in a relief role tomorrow into the event of a seventh game grew today when Warneke's wrenched shoulder muscle was report- ed sore as ever. Umpire George Moriarty, whose run- in with the Cubs last Priday may cause him trouble, returned to Detroit last night on the Cubs’ special train and not with the Tiger delegation. 4
