Adds ABABA, Sept. 17.-More
than million Ethiopians now are
under arms, according to the best
obtainable estimate today after
another 5000 warriors dined at
the palace on raw meat, pepper,
honey, and wine and departed for
the front.
The warriors were addressed by
the Emperor, who exhorted them
to fight valorously and assured
them the government would care
for their families while they were
away in defense of the country.
Under command Of General
Nadu, these 5000 entrained out

vicinity of Harar. It was possible

mules, horses, and men porters
bending under monstrous loads.
So-called mobilization cannot
mean much, now that most of
those possessing arms have actu-
ally gone to the front. The best
opinion is that there are 1000, 900
male Ethhiopuians from II to IS,

HYDE PARK, N. j.. Sept. IL
G.NSO-Final arrangements for
President Roosevelt's trip to the
West Coast were in the making
today.
Because Of the political signifi.
canoe of the croSs-country tour,
James A. Farley, Democratic gen.
eralissimo, was due back here for
one last conference on the itin-
erary.
Accompanying Mr.. Farley to
Hyde Park was Charles Nicholson,
publicity genius of the Democratic
party, whose counsel is highly re-
Spected in Administration circles.
Mr.. Farley and Mr.. Nicholson will
discuss the Western plans with the
President over the dinner table.
At lunch Mr.. Roosevelt was
given the benefit of the advice of
Felix Frankfurter, Harvard law
professor, who invariably puts in
an appearance at the White House
before important speeches are to
be made.
Mr.. Farley previously stated
here that the President should
make one stop in a Middle-State
city. It was believed Mr.. Roose-
welt would fulfill this engagement
by addressing the American lie.

If the President does go into
Kentucky, he will have to divert
his special train from the main
line.
Boulder Dam Speech Sure
Again quoting usually reliable
sources, it was understood Mr..
Roosevelt would swing up from st.
Louis to Omaha, thence to Den.

to Las Vegas. From the latter
New Mexico town the Roosevelt
train would be shunted over to
Boulder Dam where the President
is definitely committed to a

the basis of recent legislation
