The Yugoslav Army has been on a

Ethiopian Struggle
Wakes Warm

To the Editor Of The Times:
"Gino's" attack on James w.
Balm for his criticism Of the Mus
solini campaign in Africa is so in
fantile it is amusing.
The truth of the matter is this {:
MuSsolini's ego has cracked up
due to the colossal failure of his
Fascist regime; internal Italian
conflict compels him to take the
spotlight from the homeland situa-
ton; Italy is bankrupt, has been
for 10 years, hasn't balanced her
budget since the war and is ready
to call it a Fascist day and start
over-but MuSsolini, under such
conditions, would lose his head and
so he picks on a country he feels
he can subdue to cover himself
with the whimsical glories of war.
If Mr.. MuSsolini rates Italy as
a first line power land it is de-
cidedly not), why doesn't he pro,
woke first class war and a first
rank power-England, for exam
pie.
Mussolini is cheap braggart,
an egomaniac who, in this coun'
try. would be adjudged a proper
inmate for the psychopathic ward.

DODGE TO GIVE
MILLION FUND
TO WIFE

NEW YORK, July 81 (U.S).
Far from being the ungenerous
husband he has been pictured by
his estranged second wife, Horace
E. Dodge has agreed to set up a
one million dollar trust fund for
her, he made known today.
The Detroit speedboat million
aire will do this as soon as he
comes into his half of the seventy
five million dollars of his mother,
Mrs. Hugh Dillman, according to
papers served on attorneys for the
wife, Mrs. Muriel Sisman Dodge.
Denies All Charges
The papers deny all charges
made against him last month in
three separate actions in which
his wife demands a total of
$500, 900.
Mrs. Dodge charged her hus-
band had violated a separation
agreement they made on August
4, 1888, providing for settlement
of all property in dispute.
The young Speedboat manu-
facturer counters with the accu-
sation that she refused to allow
him the custody of their two
children, David, S, and Diana, 8,
for three months each year, as
provided for in their agreement,
unless he gave her $4,000 for
new furniture.
Void If She Marries
It is the 1888 agreement that
provides for the one million dol
lar trust fund, it was disclosed.
The trust will be voided, however,
if Mrs. Dodge remarrieS, and in
that event her present income of
5000 a year would be reduced
to $500.
The angry wife had charged Mr.
Dodge failed to keep his promise
to give her his yacht, French
Leave.
He answered that she might con
slider it yacht, but to him it is
just a 26.foot open boat-Worth
500 if he could find a purchaser,

 Both men were calm at the weighing-in at noon.
 Louis just nodded in reply to Baer's hello"

 The two fighters posed for pie lures without talking.
 Baer scored two important points during the stormy session following the weighing.
 Louis manager agreed to adopt a special type of glove desired by Baer and conceded to use additional bandages and tape on the hands this in effect yielding to Max's de- sire for all possible protection to his previously damaged fists.
 Baer's hands were pronounced in perfect fighting condition.
 Physicians said the knuckles were knotty but showed no signs of in- jury or inflammation.

REV. HUBBARD
 SAYS ICE-CAP
 IS RETRIEVING
Explains Fallacy of Glacier Depths-To Prepare
 for New Expedition

The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard Is. J., famous Glacier Priest" of Santa Clara University who has spent the past month studying the Mendenhall and Taku glaciers, left Juneau on the Alaska, enroute for Seattle.
 He was accompanied by his three geological assistants, Edgar Levin Kenneth Chisholm, and George Getty, who joined him in Seattle this summer after having climbed and mapped the Pavlof volcano earlier in the spring.
 The Rev. Hubbard, who camt lhere with the intent of disprovine present scientific theories concern ing the possible depth of glacial de posits, expressed himself as i'm mensely pleased" with the result ol his inspection of Taku and Men, denhall.
 Stupid Assertion
 Tt has been asserted that the ict in the Antarctic and in Greenland might attain the depth of 10000 feet,7 he said. This is as stupid a; saying a skyscraper might be built of beeswax; certain laws of ma ture make such an achievement i'm possible. We have definitely proved lthis summer that ice cannot at- tain a depth of more than 2,0O( feet"
 Father Hubbard bases his conten- ton on the fact that pressure generates heat, and that. since ice requires lower temperature tc congeal under pressure than on the surface, ice below certain marlda- tory depth W ould automatically melt itself. Glacial ice is not frozen water said Father Hubbard, but compressed show, which achieves enormous pressure in few feet :
 Lowered Into Crevasse To provide scientific proof for | 1 their theory, young George Getty was lowered into crevasse in the Mendenhall Glacier, and the tenn perature of the ice at each 50-foot level was taken. We ascertained that the temperature dropped one degree with each 50-foot descent, said Hubbard. From such experi- ments, it becomes a mere mathe- nautical problem to discover that between 1900 and 1000 feet is the greatest possible depth for a gla- cial deposit 9
