Italians Drop Death Dealing Bombs
on Defenceless EthiOpians
from Airplanes
EMPERoR's HOPE is IN LEAGUE

Two Ethiopian cities, Aduwa and
Adigrat, situated near the coast Of
the Red Sea, have fallen into the
hands of the Italian troops in war
that has been expected for several
months.
Italy, headed by II Duce Benito
Mussolini, has long had a greedy eye
on Ethiopia's rich lands, but hope has
been held out that actual war might
be avoided until the latter part Of
last week when Italian soldiers began
to fight with bombs from the air and
machine guns from the ground. The
Ethiopians in the cities taken were
not well defended. Reports from the
capital of Ethiopia, Adds Ababa, are
that Italian troops are advancing into
Ethiopia from three directions.
Italians are trained in war. Ethio-
plans are not. In the fighting last
Saturday, while several hundred were
killed On both sides, the savage Ethio-
plans engaged in hand to hand fights
with spears and knives in evidence in
stead of guns. This is the kind Of
fighting the Ethiopian knows best.
The military situation, as disclosed
by dispatches from the various fronts,
from Rome and from Adds Ababa,
is as follows:
Forces numerically equal face each
other on this, the northern front.
Italy's advantage lies in her superior
war weapons and supplies. Philippians
are favored by thorough acquaint-
ance with the terrain, little of which.

such as the fields of Flanders afford

General Emilio de Bsno has 100 900
men, supported by planes, tanks, and
artillery. From his base at Asmara in
Eritrea he has moved since Thursday
across the borde. in semi-encircling
movement aimed at Aduwa, the little
city which has been an ache in the
Italian heart ever since an Italian
force was wiped out there 40 years
ago. ...
Halle Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia
and claimed to be direct descendant
of the Queen Of Sheba, is planning to
personally lead him army against the
Italians in the event he is needed: He
is, however, still putting great hope
in the action of the League Of Ma
tions which has absolved Ethiopia Of
all blame for the war and are meeting
this week to- form plans to, cliastise
Italy for openly breaking the, league

war.
The League, meeting at Geneva,
will discuss plans for cutting off out

matter of buying and selling from

Italy is not dependant on other ma
tons for help.

Color Is Next
Says Jones

HOLLYWOOD, May 25.-Rob-
ert Edmond Jones, Americas lead
ing stage director, who has just
completed the color designing of
Becky Sharp" first feature film
drama in the new Technicolor,
ardently believes that color will
sweep the screen world as did
sound.
Jones has just returned to New
York from Hollywood after six
months work on the color design
Of the picture, which is a Pioneer
Picture, directed by Reuben
Mamoulian and Searring Miriam
Hopkins as the immortal Becky.
Immersed for so long in the beau
ties obtainable by the perfected
Technicolor, Jones is a fervent
apostle for the new medium.
THE tremendous future of color
in films will present an artistic
problem, not a technicolor one"
says the designer. young artists
will be needed who can cope with
the artistic composition of the
new pictures, opening an entirely
new field to the artist in the in
duStry. These men and women
may well come from Hollywood's
younger people-cameramen, di-
rectorS, designers. Color-conscious
ness, of course, is the first
requisite"
Jones is enthusiastic about the
appearance of established film
favoriteS in color films.
Miriam Hopkins never looked
as lovely as she does in Becky
Sharp" he says. And it will be
the same with the other stars.
They will appear more beautiful,
more glamorous than ever when
properly made up, lighted and
photographed in the new Techni-
color. What color really does is
to bring the film players out of
the grey prison of black-and-white
films into the sunshine of the
beautiful. multi-colored world"
RKO Radio, releasing Becky

premiere at the Radio City Music
Hall in the near future.
