CHRISTIANITY IN ABYSSINIA
Is SAVED BY QUEEN

Washington, Jan. 6.-Abys-
sinia, the oldest Christian coun-
try in the world, has put down
another attempt to bring it un-
der the sway of Mohammedan-
ism.
Details reaching here through
official sources of the revolution
fought out on the African plat
eau show that the overthrow of
the young Emperor, Lidq Jeasu,
by his mother, Otizero Zeoditu,
followed the Emperor's CONVEX
sion by his father to Moslemism
and efforts to change the ma
tional religion.
LIDO, about twenty years old,
succeeded his grandfather, the
famous old Emperor Menelik,
whose oft-reported death was
officially admitted three years
ago. Ouizero Zeoditu is now on
her fathers throne with the IL
tie of Empress of Ethiopia.
Abyssinia, isolated by deserts
and mountains, is the most mac
cessible of countries. Until a
few days ago the United States
Government had heard no ex-
PLANTATION of the revolution.

IRISH CONSUMPTION
LLOYD GEORGE AIM

Dublin, Dec. 20.-The dele
gates at the meeting of the Gen
eral Council of Irish County
Councils voiced the sentiments
of five-sixths of the people when
they passed a resolution oppos-
ing CONSUMPTION.
They urged that the threat of
consumption was very real and
not a remote probability, as
some people professed to believe.
That Lloyd George is eager to
put conscription into operation
in Ireland is no secret.
To make the CONSUMPTION pill
less bitter it is proposed that
two bills be passed simultane-
ously in the House of Commons,
the one to put into operation the
Better Government of Ireland
Act in three-fourths of Ireland,
the other a bill to conscript
from 100000 to 100000 young
Irishmen.

DEMAND FOR FORD
CARS INCREASES

Although the Ford factories
are turning out vastly more
cars than ever before, it is a
known fact that owing to the
increased demand for this pop
ular car there will be probably
not more than two-thirds of
that demand supplied.
Ford agents cannot carry cars
in stock all winter for April and
May delivery. They can get
them for immediate delivery
only.
The man who puts off buying
a Ford car sntil spring will,
from present indications, eth
er have to buy something else
or go without altogether. 1t
looks now IS if there would be
more disappointments this
spring than ever before.
Intending purchasers OF
Ford cars for spring would do
well to buy now while they can
get immediate deliveries.
The situation as outlined a.
bove was taken from a letter
from the Ford Motor company
to the Belington Garage, local
Ford agents.
