CompeIs World Attention.

NOHlpeIS w OTlu AtteHtlOn.
THE geographical position of Abys-
sinia in northeast Africa with Euro
pean colonies encircling it's territory,
nationalistic Egypt close at hand,
and restless India not far away, all
add to the character of Abyssinian
possibilities.
I'm the present awakening, of
Africa, and especially of East Africa,
1t seems certain that this great in
land empire will be forced upon the
attention of the world.
The vital problem now confront
ing not only Abyssnia but also East
Africa and the nations whose peace
and prosperity are involved. Is how
and when that empire is to become a
factor in world affairs. Shall 1t be
by way of exploitation, whether by
selfish classes within the empire or by
ruthless rivals of foreign agencies,
thus adding another element of per-
plexity in international relationships?
Or shall it be by way of international
cooperation and the announcement
of the Abyssinians to adopt the proc
esSes of development based on sound
economics, sound sociology, sound
government and, above all, sound edu-
cation related to the physical welfare,
the mental capacities and the moral
and religious needs of the people?"
Menelik's Family Rules.
The successor to the famous EN-
peror Menelik, who died in 1908, was
depoSed in 1916 for anti-ChriStian in
trigue and a daughter of Menelik was
named as empress, with her kinsman,
Ras Tafari, as prince regent and heir
to the throne. This ruling family is
commonly supposed to be descended
from Solomon and the Queen of
hpc i,,io
tlanS of the ancient Coptic Church
The masses are eager for education,
but the patriarch is said to be un-
friendly to the activities of mission
aries of other faiths. On the other
hand, RaS Tafari gives every evidence
of wanting to cooperate.
In summing up this land of strik-
ing contrasts" the report says that
the AbySsinians are possibly the
most capable of African people, GER
tainly the most highly developed in
native governmental and community
orga anizatfon, but among the most
backward of all Africa in the benefits
of sanitation and hygiene, almost en-
tirely lacking in the advantages of
school systems, strikfngly barren of
the necessities and conveniences of
the civilized home, and remarkably
separated from the stimulation and
profits of international exchange
The elimination of these strange and
interesting contrasts is prodigious
task"
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones. educa-
tional director of the Phelps Stokes
fund, headed the commission which
spent six months in East Africa, sup

ports on Native Empire

BIZ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 5.-Abyssinia.
the hermit nation of Africa, is the
enigma of international statesman
ship, according to the official report
of the educational commission to
East Africa, which is now being dis
tributed by the Phelps-St Stokes fund.
The one great native empire of the
African continent, Abyssinia has
recently been admitted as a member
of the League of Nations, although
SO little is known of it that the esti-
mates of population range from
100000 to 100000.
"Unconquered, unknown and unde-
veloped, Abyssinia is at once a coun-
try of great material resources and
of serious and difficult problems, the
report continues. THE most unique
element in the position of the empire
is it's independence of European con-
troll. The remarkable agricultural
possibilities, including almost half Of
the cultivatable soil of temperate eli
mates in East Africa, must inevitably
respond to the demand of the world
for the necessities of life. The in
creasing facilities of transportation
and travel will necessarily compel
the participation of this great empire
in the economic activities of civiliza-
ton.

Spindle tuber results check quite
closely with those here in Maine and
all of the growers who furnished
samples, will be advised as to the
percentage of disease Which their
stock showed when planted in the
South. With this information at
hand. there is no need of anyone
planting Spaulding Rose carrying q
high per centaSe of either Spindle
tuber or Mosaic.

Wiscasset, April 22.-The Lincoln
County Court House the centennial
of the building of which was cele-
brated in July of last year. is being
put in readiness for the converting
of the April term of the Supreme
Judicial Court on Tuesday the 2Sth.
Associate Justice Guy II. Sturgis
will preside at this term. Court Of
ficials will be Clarence A. Richards
of Damariscotta, Clerk; Weston M.
Hilton of Damariscotta, County At
torney; John l.. Kelley, Boothbay

Auburn, Stenographer; Deputy
Sheriff D. d. Page of Wiscasset

Deputies Huston of Damariscotta
and Etheridge of Round Pond in
charge of the traverse juries.
The grand jury panel will return
for it's second term.
Twenty seven traverse jurors have
been summoned for service and from
them two juries will be empaneled.

cases which it is expected to be tried
are on the docket coming over from
the October term. From advices re-
ceived by Clerk Richards a heavy
new entry list is expected.
One case which will be entered
will no doubt attract attention al
Enough at this time nothing can be
learned of its nature except that an
attachment for 100000 has been en-
tered in the office Of the Registry
of Deeds. The plaintiff in this case
is Mary w. Eaton of Boston and the
defendant is Mollie S. Seamon of
Wiscasset. that and the fact that
the writ is from the office of Har-
vey r. Pease Of Wiscasset is all
the information that can be CLEANED
from the entry of the attachment
which with one exception is the
largest real estate attachment made
in Lincoln County for the past
twenty-five years.
Only a few criminal cases are on
the docket coming over from the last
term. One of these is sure to arouse
interest. At the October term the
grand jury returned an indictment
against Forrest Ware Of Whitefield
for attempted subornation of per-
jury. This case was continued and
1t is the plan of the County attorney
to bring this case 10 trial at the
coming term.
