Adds ABARA, Aug. %. (UP)
Emperor Halle Selassie, accelerat-
ing organization of all his meager
defense resources, yesterday has
warned evacuating foreigners to
take their property with them OF
risk its loss in war with Italy.
The war office ordered 100 ex-
perienced drivers to proceed by
special train to Ogaden to man
14O American trucks purchased to
supply fighting units. A second
contingent left for the potential
front today.
Imminence of hostilities was
emphasized when the emperor
wrote to foreign legations warn
ing departing foreigners not to
leave their property INTENDED.
Foreigners remaining in Adds
Ababa may be assured of full pro-
lection, he said, but the govern
ment cannot assume responsibility
for property left by those evacu-
ating. Only if property is left in
responsible custody or inventoried
by Ethiopian officials will the gov
eminent recognize war loss claims.
Other Ethiopian developments
in the swift progress toward war
with Italy included:
Reports that $4,000 Somalis,
chiefly troops armed with modern
machine guns, deserted the Italian
lines several days ago, proceeded
to Ual Ual and offered their serv-
ices to Halle Selassie.
Officials refused to confirm or
deny the reports but they eStimar-
ed that during recent months d.
OOO natives of Eritrea and Italian
Somaliland, including many Ita!-
ian native troops, crossed the ETH
opian borders and swore to fight
for the COnquering Lion of judah.

ITALIANS ACTIVELY
PUSHING WAR PLANS

PARIS, Aug. 28.-(UP).-The
French cabinet in a three-hour
session today was understood to
have approved a firm French stand
at Geneva against international
penalties against Italy. The cabi-
net has abandoned hope of seeing
the conflict in Africa settled with
out war but was increasingly OPP

ing it and avoiding a breakdown
of the League of Nations.
On the seventh anniversary of
the signing of the Kellogg BRAND
pact outlawing war, Italo-Ethi-

yesterday began final efforts to
settle the Ual Ual incident, which
precipitated the East African war
threat.
Meanwhile Premier Pierre Ls-

lance was attached to the CONVEX

between British and Italian posi-
tions before the League Of Ma

The conciliators talked all day
without result although the neu-
trial arbitrator, Nicholas Politis Of
Greece, urged haste so he could
prepare his report to the council.
Leftist elements in France are
organizing mass demonstrations
throughout the country for the
eve of the coucil session. The In

SCHOOL TERM
HEIGHTENED
AT ASHEVILLE
Election Carries For Ex-
ira Month, and Lighter
Teacher Load

ASHEVILLE, Aug. 28.-By a
majority of ISL, voters in the old
Asheville charter school district
yesterday provided that a maxi
mum tax of 25 cents on the SlOO
real property valuation be levi
ed to supplement state Schooi
funds. The tax will be LEVIED
this fall.
Of a total registration of A.
O36, voters numbering 3,O4O cast
their ballots. Of those voting,
2,17O expressed a preference for
the tax and $40 opposed it. The
number opposing the tax by re-
manning away from the polls was
996. For the tax to carry, a
majority of those registered had
to vote for it.
The purpose of the supplement
tai tax is to add a ninth month
to the term, employ additional
teachers and give all teachers an
increase in pay up to five per
cent.
This was the first opportunity
voters here had to supplement-
funds for the city schools since
their operation was taken over
nv the state in 1888.
At that time the general as
sembly wiped out all charter
school districts and decreed that
districts in counties in default
could not vote a supplement- tax.
This of course prevented Ashe-
vile and Buncombe county from
seeking local school funds.
The 1885 general assembly,
however, provided that elections
could be held on the question
of supplementing state funds IN
old charter districts in any coun-
ty.
By adding the ninth month and
reducing the teacher load in Lee
H. Edwards High school to ~
pupils per teacher the school
would be restored to membership
in the Southern Association OF
Colleges and Secondary schools
permitting graduates to enter
college without examination and
without conditions. School au-
thOrities also want to give each
elementary school an additional
teacher.

May Use Relief Money For Social Work
REPLY FROM SOVIET TO U.S..
PROTEST ON RED ACTIVITIES
BELIEVED TO ANGER OFFICIALS
Hull May Defer To Roose-
welt In Next Move On
Propaganda
BY HOBART c. MONTEE

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. %, (UP)
The next move in American-SO-
Wet Russion relations was put up
definitely to state department of
tclals last night by the Soviet
government in a blunt and almost
cauStic note rejecting the Amer
lcan protests over Soviet-directed
communist activities in the Unit
ed States.
The Soviet note, received at the
state department late yesterday,
sent Secretary of State Cordell
Hull and his chief advisers on
Russian affairs into a lengthy
conference huddle, out of which
the only information Forthcoming
was mo comment" Comforting
with Hull were r. Walton Moore,
assistant secretary of state, and
Robert T. Kelley, chief of the
eastern European division of the
department.
1t was indicated that the Soviet
note probably would be referred
to President Roosevelt before def
mite action is taken upon it.
There was no room for doubt,
however, that both the text and
the tone of the note were highly
unsatisfactory to state department
officials-even that they were
somewhat angered~ by the Soviet
observation that:
at is certainly not unknown to
the government of the United
States that the government of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies cannot take upon itself and
has not taken upon itself obliga-
lions of any kind with regard to
the Communist international"
State department officials plac-
ed this paragraph of the note
alongside the fourth paragraph of
the pledges made by Maxim Lit
vinoff, Soviet COmmissar for for
eign affairs, in his letter of Nov.
16, 1888, to President Roosevelt,
which served as the basis upon
which diplomatic recognition was
accorded the Soviets. This para
graph said:
The Soviet government pledged
itself to a fixed policy:
"Not to permit the formation
or residence upon it sterritory of
any organization or group-and to
prevent the activity on it's terri
tory of any organization or group,
or of representative or officials
of any organization or group
which has as an aim the overthrow
or the preparation for the over
throw of, or the bringing about
by force of a change in the poll
teal or social order of the whole
or any part of the United States"
Officials here were unable to
reconcile the pledge made in the
LitvinOff letter and the disavowaI
made in the Soviet note of Tues
day.
The question of what the Unit,
ed States proposes to do about it
