years. Daily the contest between him
and the Empress Zauditu for control
of the reinS of government grew more
acute-and, in october, 1928, after a
dramatic and sensational stroke by Ras
Tafferi, she had to consent to his being
crowned King of Shoa, the nations
chief province. She was still the En-
press, but constantly Taffari undermined
her power. Jealous, the Empress began
plotting with her divorced husband.
And as a result a rebel army with Ras
Guksa at it's head marched upon the
capital during the early months of this
year.
Ras Taffari sought at first to bring
this revolution to a peaceful end by
negotiation and compromise But Ras
Guksa remained arrogant and unyield-
ing. He issued an ultimatum that
Taffari must give up the throne to Lii
Yaser, who had geen deposed as En-
peror in 1916.
Taffari smiled a wTy smile and began
concentrating his troops in the province
of Tigre, 200 miles northeast OF the
capital. When he had brought to-
gether a nondescript army of 10000 men
he sent his minister of war, DeJetch-
match Molla Cheta, the complete mas
ter" to take command in the field.
Ras Guksa was advancing into Tigre
by forced marches from his stronghold
at Gondar, hoping to rout the kings
forces by a surprise attack. Molla Cheta
got word of this and went out to meet
him. Daily they grew nearer and night

France Preparing for War
Believed Certain, Says SimOnds

that the French had taken alarm; that
they were finally done with the mood
of more or less patient irritation in the
face of Fascist menace.
Slowly but surely there is spreading
in France a conviction-like that dis
trust Of Germany which, with fatal
consequences, established itself in Brit
ish and French minds before 1914
that Italian intent is for war: that at
the back of the italian mind lies the
purpose to resort to war to achieve ma
tional ambitions at the moment when
the promise of victory Is most unmts-
taxable. And along with this conVic-
ton goes the determination to resist
further menace and TO prepare for the
conflict which cannot be avoided.
France Prepares for Invasion.

hopeleSSness, which constitutes the worst
phase of the present situation. Today

Will not have TO fight on two fronts;
that her soldiers will not perforce evac-

after the outbreak of the Franco-Prus-
sian War, leaving behind them a fatal
memory.
What does the new outbreak of Fas-
cist intransigeance mean? More than
all else, it is interpreted in Europe to
indicate that Mussolini is approaching
the limit of possibility in domestic de-
velopment. He has established order.
Economically he has promoted new or
ganization; industrially Italy has gone
forward markedly. But when all the
achievement has been measured, it is
becoming clear that 1t does not sufflce

TT is IL years ago that the 28th In

War Department announced Wed

tions, psychologically, in history"
AS an initial military operation the
Battle of Cantigny, so-called, had been
virtually accomplished before the troops
went over the top" But psychology
cally, as the War Department now says
it was a great event. It was the first
American offensive action in the World
War.
The 1st Division had been rushed
from the east Of France, where the unit
had been in training, into Picardy
region after the British 5th Army had
been smashed there by the Germans
It was an emergency well worthy of
the shift The British were hard
pressed all along their front, only to
have one of Haig's armies wilt under
the German attack. 1t was an allied
disaster of the first magnitude.
French Were Weary.
The French were heartsore and
weary. They had fought to the point
of exhaustion. Their reserves were
dwindling. The Russian collapse and
the German-Russian treaty OF BreSt-
Litovsk had become matter of sober
record, releasing about 80 German
divisions from the Eastern front to the
Western front The Americans were
going over in driblets and those who
were already trained in France were of
dubious quality in the eyes Of the allies.
