Abyssinia of Today.

The dominant race In Abyssinia is
Semitic. The Hamitic is the aboriginal
race. The court or official language is
Amharic, but Ethiopic is that of the
church and literature. The national
religion is MonOphysite Christianity,
but Judaism is found among certain
tribes, and Islam is the faith of a con-
siderable element of the population.
The head Of the Abyssinian church is
the Abuna, "our father" who is a Cop
tic monk, nominated by the Patriarch
Of Alexandria. The government Is a
despotic monarchy based on a system
partly. federal and partly feudal. The
civilization OF Abyssinia has long been
retarded by isolation and anarchy, but
there is now a national awakening to
the civilized world.

u. S. NAVY IS Big
HELP TO BRITAIN
Naval Expert Gives High Praise to
Americans for Their Co
operation.

American naval aid has been of the
greatest help to the British fleet, says
Archibald Hurd, the naval expert,
writing in the Daily Telegraph on
the new situation in the North sea re-
sulting from the Zeebrugge and Os-
tend raids, the extension of British
mine fields and the generally increas-
ing naval pressure against Germany.
when the war Is over" he says,
"the nation will form some conception
of the extent of the debt which we
owe the American navy for the man.
ner in which 1t has co-operated, not
only in connection with the convoy
system, but in fighting the subma-
rines.
IF the naval position is improv-
ing today, as 1t Is, IL is due TO the
fact that the British and American
fleets are working in closest accord,
supported by an immense body OF
skilled workers on both sides of the
Atlantic, who are turning out de-
stroyers and other craft for dealing
with the submarines, as well as mines
and bombs.
1.-THE Germans can have a battle
whenever they want 1t. The strength
Of the grand fleet has been well main
tanned. Some of the finest battleships
of the United States navy are now as
ISOLATED with us. They are not only
splendid fighting ships, but they are
well differed and manned.
'If Admiral Beatty were asked his
opinion there is no doubt of what he
would say of the value of the aid which
the United States has given in this re-
spect. The conditions under which the
Germans would engage US, therefore,
are less favorable than two years ago"

CLEVER TEUTON WOMAN
STEALS Big FORTUNE
Clerks Wife Duped officials and
PopuIace Out Of Millions
Of Marks.

Newspapers received at Amsterdam
from Breslau, Germany, tell of a wom-
an. whose criminal career created a
sensation throughout the empire, be-
ing sentenced to six years imprison-
ment for filching millions from the
credulous. The court in sentencing
the woman said her punishment would
not been for the fact that her dupes
were also criminals, expecting to profit
by violations of the law.
The woman now serving her time
is the wife of an humble clerk en-
ployed In a municipal department. His
name is Gohla. The woman is forty
eight years old, but still handsome
and of striking figure. She was for
years a regular first nighter. She
would appear bedecked with diamonds
worth a million marks. When her
daughter was married recently she
paid 100000 marks for her trousseau.
When the wal broke out Mrs. Gohla
branched out as a contractor. At least
she claimed she had war contracts OBJ
tanned for her by influential friends.
On the strength of these war contracts
she borrowed money by the millions.
Her business" grew In leaps and
bounds. She finally went to Berlin,
where she found admission into the
highest circles. Here the number of
her dupes increased rapidly.
At last some of her creditors be-
came suspicious and notified the po-
lice. Her home was raided and a lot
of discriminating evidence was found.
1t was proved that the woman had
not only taken money from dupes, but
also had bribed a number of officials
to award contracts to her which en-
abIed her to find more dupes.
Mrs. 0ohla was found guilty Of
fraud in IL cases, of bribing officials
in FIVE cases, and also Of violation Of
the lottery law.

 Across the sea. from France. with every closing day of the heroic strug- gle of our fighting men. there Is a more imperative call to the women of America to assume their full share of responsibility in winning the world war for the right of men. women and children to live their own lives and de- termine their own fortunes
 There exists now an extreme ne cessity for at least 25.OOO women of character. intelligence and education to fill the gaps in our hospital staffs caused by the calling of thousands of skilled nurses to the fighting front
 There Is only one way to fill these gaps-by keeping our hospital train ing schools supplied with students"
