CHAPTER vi

v UcILLE PARADENE was right. The
truth was not pleasant. and the
person for whom felt quickening
compassion was Lucille herself. By
the time she had reached the end of her
story, the candle had burned itself out, and
sat listening to her constrained voice in the
darkness.
She began by mentioning the name of John
Paradene. and pricked up my ears.
"You don't mean Paradene, the Member OF
Parliament ?" Iasked. for knewa little about
the mans high reputation Twice he had held
a Cabinet post, and in well-informed circles
was marked out as future leader of his party.
He was said to be immensely wealthy. and
had entered public life with the purest OF
motives.

pleasant she said.
MANY years ago,
Claudette Melmoth
was living on the
Riviera under the pro-
lection of Felix SWIM
burn. My father was
sorry for her. and he
fell in love with her
yes, really in love. Re
member, he was young
at the time. in his
twenties. He was rich
and happy-go-luck
and he wrote her some
absurdly passionate
letters. He wanted to
marry her, but he soon
saw his mistake. Then
a horrible thing hap
pened. My fathers let
tiers to Claudette fell
into Swinburn' s hands.
Like an INSCRIPTIONS
cad. he said he would
destroy them at the
price of one thousand
pounds. The money
was paid, but the let
tiers were carefully pre-
served. Roger Barnett
was in the same set;
he was Swinburn's best
friend, alt houg h a
much younger man."
/ sat listening
eagerly to Lucille as
she described how John
Paradene had married
and settled down: how
he had made a brilliant
success in British pol
itiCs. His reputation
for integrity was his
strongest asset, and a
knighthood was con-
ferred upon him. Sir
John Paradene must
have given a gasp Of
relief at the time of
Claudette Melmoth's
death at his own es-
cape from notoriety.
II knew not hing

this" went on Lucille,
until last Friday. My

now, and MIR. Paul was
his confidential clerk.
MIR. Paul saw Felix
Swinburn's death an

paper, and he decided

Two years ago Felix
Swinburn came across

Treaty Brought War
BY a treaty, which the Abys-
sinlans always asserted contained
a trick clause. Italy assumed q pro-
tectorate over Abysstnia. Under
King Benelik this led TO an uprising,
Italy sent a punitive force, which
was cut to pieces in the battle OF
Adowah in 1896. The Italians pur-
sued the war no further and recog-
nized AbySsinia's complete indie
pendence. But that bitter defeat
always ranked in Italian memories.
In 1927 Italy sent the Duke OF
the Abruzzi TO Abyssinia and q
treaty was negotiated. which was
signed in 1928. II was agreed that
perpetual" peace and friendship
should exist between Italy and Abys-
sinia. They agreed TO do nothing 70
attack the independence OF each
other. They, furthermore, agreed
that all questions. not susceptible Of
settlement by ordinary diplomatic
methods. should be arranged by con
citation and arbitration and without
recourse to arms.

Mussolini contends Abyssinia, by

ments with foreign aid. has violated

* Equals Ethiopian War Strength
land Italy Is Taking No Changes

BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service staff Correspondent

LONDON, June ia grim ques-
ton burrows the brows OF Fascist
Italy's military experts as they hear
the defiant beat Of war drums IN
AbysSinia.
The question:
In view of the historic fact that
A~byssinian tribesmen OF 40 years
ago. equipped only with rifles and
native weapons, were able to repulse
and massacre heavily armed Itali-
an forces. Just how much more for
midable a foe is present day Abys-
sinia, which possesses most Of the
modern tools Of war fare and an
army trained by foreign officers?
The upshot Of this self-question-
ing Is an intensive mobilization Of
Italian troops such as has not been
seen since World War days. Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini. IL war comes
with AbySsinia. Is not going to make
the mistake Of rating the African
state as a "push-over."
For the present ruler Of Abyssinia
was not content in 1880, to be
crowned as Halle SelaSSie. King Of
Kings of Ethiopia, the Conquering
Lion of Judah and the Elect of God.
One Of the first things he did was to
employ a commission of 20 Belgian
army officers to train his troops. In
1888 a second group OF Belgian ex-
perts came there to train his mill
tary police.
Trained by Swedish Officers
Less than a year ago, a group Of
five Swedes, graduated from the
military academy Of Stockholm. ar
rived in the capital 70 train the
A~byssinian army officers in techni-
que and strategy. A Swedish gen.
eral. who is military counsellor to
the King. also trained an AbySsinian
air force. Acting upon the advice OF
these men. the King has placed de-
pots OF munitions and supplies in va
rious parts Of the country in case Of
invasion.
Latterly the Japs to the alarm of
the Italian government. have been
busy in Abyssinia. Not only have
they secured concessions 70 try cot
ton growing, so Japan could be in
dependent Of African. Egyptian and
Indian cotton. but they have given
technical advice in many matters.
1t is also said that they have sold
considerable quantities Of munitions
to the country
Europe breads African Wars
1t is estimated that Abyssinia has
a regular trained army Of 100000
and possesses. in addition to rifles,
some 800 machine guns, $50 cannon
Of various calibers. a small number
Of airplanes and many armored cars.
Besides. with its ten million people
10 draw upon. AbySsinia could add a
volunteer army Of from 100000 to
100000.
