Rome Lays Its Plans for
Annexation of New
Puppet State.
NORTHERN FRONT QUIET
FaSCiStS May Advance Into
Interior Without Shot
Being Fired.
By JUitCd Press

ROME, Oct. II. Premier
Benito Mussolini plans to
create an emperor over a stats
composed of at least a part Of
Ethiopia, it was learned today
from hints in official and
semi-oficial quarters.
The most probable choice for the
figure-head ruler would be Ras
Halle Selassie Gugsa. former Ethi-
opian governor of Tigre province.
who. according to Italian field head
quarters, has deserted the East
African kingdom and surrendered
to Italy's northern army.
By such action. Italy would fol-
low the example set by Japan in its
conquest of ManChuria, which the
japanese turned into the kingdom
of Manchukuo under the former
Chinese emperor, Henry Pu vi.
RaS Halle SelaSsie Gugsa, despite
the similarity in names, is not re-
lated to Emperor Halle SelasSie I
of Ethiopia. He is a descendant of
King John ", who became king in
1872 and died in 1899. His territory
extends for IL miles southwark of
Adigrat, the italian front line in
the northern sector, along the fertile
MeScio Valley to point northward
Of Lake AShangi.
Joined by $4,000 Troops
According to the italian army,
GugSa was accompanied in his de-
sertion of Ethiopia by 12,OCO soldiers
with rifles and $50 machine guns.
Other important non mharic
chleftains are expected here to sur
render soon, giving Italy control of
the entire outer region of Ethiopia.
Italian agents have been working
there IN advance of italian troops.
The afternoon edition of La Tri-
buna indirectly revealed ItaIys
plans for the puppet state with a
description of Gugsa. entitled
legitimate imperial dynasty of
Ethiopia in open revolt against the
usurpers at Adds Ababa."
Intricate Study of Family
The Tribunals article was an in
trlcate study of various family trees
and concluded that Gugsa, as the
great grandson of King John w.
IS the only legitimate descendant of
Solomon and hence the only Iegiti-
mate candidate for the Ethiopian
throne. The present ruler and his
predecessor, Menelik, are imposters.
the article says.
Upon the death of Gugsa's father.
who was RaS Of Tigre, the article
said, he left his son explicit written
instructions to join the forces of
Italy when and if they crossed the
March River The former Ras
supposedly said:
Thus you will save the Tigrean
crown for our family"
Italians generally believe that
Gugsa's desertion to the Italians
opens the way for quick penetration
by the Italian armies to Makale
without the use of arms.

Next door, In China. women seem to have
taken new lease on life: the new constitution
gives them absolute equality politically. legally
and domestically, and the universities are
crowded with woman students who take part
in demonstrations against restrictions that dis

So rapid is the Chinese move toward free
dom that many observers say it has wrought
great harm already. They point to the fact
that many men have left their village wives
for college girls; that fathers are heartbroken
because their daughters ridicule childhood
betrothals; that lawyers are leading old
fashioned women to the divorce courts by
telling them that the conditions to which their
husbands have subjected them for years are

BY MADELIN BLITZSTEIN.

IF THE shade Of Mrs. Enmelne Pankhurst.
fearless leader of England's doughty suf-
fragettes In pre-war years. were to pay a
visit to our globe today how would she
like the conditions under which con-
temporary women are living?
Would she feel that the dramatic cam
paigns she led, in which militant feminists
used to chain themselves to the seats in the
House of Commons. drop fire in London's mail
boxes, break the windows Of automobiles and
houses, and wage sensational hunger strikes in
Jail. had borne the proper fruit-or would she
turn away somewhat disheartened as she no.
ticed that in many lands women not only
do not have the vote. but even seem happy
about 1t?
In America the women have certainly lived
up to Mrs Pankhursts highest hopes; they are
today on an equal footing with their brothers
and their husbands in social and political life,
and II there are still some economic inequalities
in the matter Of wages and advancement they
are rapidly on the way to successful So
luton.
Over in her own England women have risen
to the House of Commons and the cabinet,
they hold magistrates and high secretaryshipS,
and in general they dress better, carry them
selves more gracefully and have a more amusing
social life on a small income than their elders
ever dreamed Of
But what of Japan, where women were forced
to walk six PAGES behind their husbands as a
sign of inferior station, and the neighboring
China, where the ancient Confucian code de-
creed that man might divorce his spouse for
not bearing him sons for talking too loqua-
ciously?
IA /HAT has happened to the harems of
w Turkey, the well-chaperoned senoritas of
warm-blooded Spain, the yelled women of over
crowded India, and the millions of enslaved
peasant wives of Russia? Do Italian women
still depend upon the gallantry and chivalry
of their menfok for their place in the sum-
and has the German hausfrau been convinced
that public life is less to her liking than cook
ing and cleaning?
And, last but not least, do modern women
have the privilege of choosing their own mates
or are there still lands where marriages are
arranged by the parents and the daughters
have nothing to do except say yes?
To find the answers to these questions, Mrs
Pankhurst's shade would have to travel
through lands where democracy holds sway
where relationships lay down the law for the
female of the species and where the populace
seems about to choose between the two sys-
TENS. She would undoubtedly find countries,
like Norway, in the latitude of love-" where
women enjoy unheard-of social freedom, and
then she would suddenly come across a land
like Greece, which is just now trying to

that in the eighth century
Japanese women were the

Adono-hine, in the building
Of the empire.
