&uBS8 lo2mAuy pEeSenVeQ me Wlvh Q calling card which had just been printed. The cards were inscribed edjaEtnatch Halle Selassie 0uk- sa," with his name reprinted in Tigrean beneath. He carefully in. sefts each card he presents in Q small envelope.
 0ugsa said he would not continue south with the Italian advance. He said he intended to make Makale, instead of Aduwa, the capital of Tigre province of which he is gOv- ernor, and would live in King John'a old palace, the most impressive structure in northern Ethiopia.
 This palace is about 200 feet long, with battlemented walls and square towers, surrounded by double con- centric outer walls.
 The inside has been long unoccu- pied and is delapidated, but 1t has King Johns elaborate oaken throne. An Italian carpenter named Negret- tt built 1t for John.
 After the throne was built, John ordered Negretti to build him c pal ace. Negretti knew nothing about building but copied the design from an old picture book which showed Italian medieval palaces.
 Price On His Head
 The Ethiopians have put Q price on Gugsa's head 50 he sleeps ot, the floor of his throne room with couple of machine guns in the room and several more on the roof. He is living in Q small rough two story stone building within a compound filled with stones, dust, many dogs flies and Q rabble of lounging troops. There is half dug well. He was much thrilled by Q ride in . flea tank.
 saw in the courtyard the first Italian tribunal regulating natives claims against the army for dam- ages done by troops. About 50 Ethi- opians in their shammas squatted in circles awaiting the callin gof their names. They talked to an Italian captain through an interpreter. The captain noted their claims and said they would be paid If justified. One Ethiopian claimed that Askafi re. auisitioned three chickens, one goat and five eggs. Another said that Askari trampjled down his dura II, the fields, 0 third that troops made a road through his corn patch.
 The automobile ride to Makale was the most excfuciating I nave ever taken. We made 70 miles in II hours from Adigrat. We had to alisht and walk and push for 20 miles. often we made three milei an hour. We would roll huge ssonei from the trails and I myself moved at least half Q ton of stones. we rolled around like dice and arrived bruisted and exhausted. But Q thousand men are working on the road and 1t will be easily passaple in e couple of weeks.
 Army of Wlld Apes
 We passed an army Of about . thousand wild apes. There weE, many big fellows weighing at leas, loo bounds. Mothers carried babiel clinEing to their backs like Jockeys Alter crossing the trails they halted and parked defiantly.
 We passed at least 5000 caineli carrying supplies to the front. somt caravans stretched across the twist' ing trails and plains for ten miles fled in attachments of ten, head tc tail, guided by turbanned netive drivers. One detachment Of l,z0O marched le8 miles h ]! days so reach Adigrat. ,
 Here they gave me coffee, havored with red peppers, In native ssyiel while the Askaris made bread py wrapping dough around hot stones
 The temperature here k 100 m the shade in the daytime and from 70 to 50 at night.
