league is expected to try to show is
that there Is organized opposition to
ship subsidy, while the anti-subsidy
men expect to demonstrate that there

It develops that the charges made in
the American Flag were not put out

The ancient empire of Abyssinia, or

Tigro, Amhara, and Shea, with other
territories and dependencies. Its area
is over 100000 square miles and pop
ulation estimated at 100000 to 11,O0O,-

Abyssinian chieftains over Ras Man
gasha. He claimed to be direct de-
scendant of Solomon by Queen Sheba
and styled himself the "Conquering
Lion, tribe of Juda, elect of the Savior,
king of kings of Ethiopia" He was
son of the king of Shoa, but was cap
tured in l1fs youth by the governor of
kondar, who had usurped the throne
under the title of Theodore III. Menelik
made war on Theodore and his sue
cessor, Emperor Johannes. He finally
married his daughter to the Ras Area
emperor's son, and was tacitly, ac-
knowledged heir to the throne Ras
Area died, Johannes was killed in bat
tie, and Menelik became negus Of
Abyssinia. He refused to acknowledge
the domination of Italy over his eoun-
try and compelled the Italian army to
capitulate at Adowa in 1896, when a
treaty was signed recognizing the abb
solute independence of Abyssinia. Since
then peace has crowned Menelik's pol
icy toward foreign powers and the
country has prospored with the intro
duction of improved methods. of gov
ernment and commerce.
