Washington, Sept. 26-The gov ernment's campaign to sell "baby bonds" to the average citizen Is going to get lift this fall.
 Plans are under way for fairly intensive campaign throughout the country. It calls for posters and an advertising campaign, and one treasury official is already out "pepping up' local postmasters in good-sized cities.
 Total of these "baby bonds" al- ready sold, some $132,000,000 worth to date, means nothing in a national debt of 30 billions, but it does mean something in a couple of other ways, especially if 1t could be multiplied by ten.
 First, all wartime Liberty bonds having been called, there is no" no government bond issue widely held among the masses of the peo- pie. War campaigns taught the people the advantages of govern = ment bonds for the first time In American history and millions of little fellows" had government ob- ligations in small denominations.
 That's regarded as stable fac tor in government, as France has found. Most every peasant there has a government bond tucked away in his sock. Such do not "revolute."
 Many government officials would feel better if a couple of million more people here had just such a direct interest in their government, as they did during and just after the World war.
 Secondly, the "baby bonds," bought with regularity, offer a chance for people whose mid- dIe-sized incomes exclude them from the provisions of the se- curity program to create their own annuities and make their oUn security.
 And, third, they tend to relieve by just so much as can be accom- plished the condition of banks which for months have been gorged with government bonds.

More Honor for Teddy

The capital is to have a memo rial to Roosevelt at last-Theodore Roosevelt, that is. The long-con- sidered project to make park of Analostan Island is under way, with A selected eco crew in charge. . They've found no end of Indian relics in digging about the island, which had plenty of historic con- nections before the Lincoln Memo rial bridge was built right beside 1t. A dashing equestrian statue of Teddy with Custer and Black Hawk will feature it eventually.

Ships Laden With Troops, Tanks
 And Planes

 Port Said, Egypt, July 26 (By Mail) (UP)-The Suez bottle-neck is witness to Italy's preparations for war in Ethiopia.
 The canal is the chief passage way for men and supplies being concentrated on East African soil, and to the men forced to return home by the heat and disease of the Red Sea deserts. Responsible foreign officials offer this tally of Italian troop movements in the five months starting Feb. IS:
 1O3,254 soldiers; 7,947 civilians.
 Nearly 5000 of them have re- turned, either to be hospltalized in a climate where they can recover from tropical levers or because they could not live in a land where 15 minutes in the sun without a pith helmet Is enough to kill any European.
 Accurate Count On Ships.
 Ninety eight passenger vessels and S1 freighters under Italian colors made the north-south pass age during that period, all of them bound for Eritrea or Italian So- maitland. And ships of other regis try under Italian charter also were used.
 The number of men can be defl- nitely established. It costs 10 gold francs per head in fees to the Suez Canal Company for their trans port. The amount of munitions and other materials Is more diff cult. Access to Italian ships pass- ing through the canal Is impossible except for few Egyptian officials or for Italians with passes issued at Rome. But even so Port Said is generally well informed on the cargoes.
 Tanks, motorized equipment and airplanes have formed a large part of them. Only recently light Italian cruiser made the passage, with four seaplanes mounted on catapults visible on deck. Several Independent sources in the town placed the number of machines stored below decks at 40. Troop Movements SIackcn. At present the Italian move- ments have slackened. In normal times there are perhaps three ships a week. During the spring this had grown to an average above 20, but the rainy season in the south has forced a slowing down. Port Said Is watching for a new wave in a month or so, the first sign that war Is about to be- gin. Almost no one thinks 1t can be avoided.
 Many Italians in Egypt already have gone south. The doctors par ticularly are In demand to fight fever. One famous fever specialist in London's Harley. street has spent several weeks in Eritrea, and expects to return later. He, like other Italians resident abroad, is on call.
 Italians at Port Said wear fas- cist pins and periodically justify Premier Mussolinrs course But they speak soberly of the difficult ties. They "know what the heat does to us from the Piedmont

FLEW
 OVER SOLDIERS

Indian Gap, Pa, Aug. 26-(UP) Army intelligence officers today sought a mysterious airplane which scattered thousands of pamphlets described as "communistic" among the 16,000 regular army and na- tional guard soldiers participating in war games here. The unidenti- fled plane, painted to resemble an army pursuit plane, flew over the encampment late yesterday and dropped pamphlets urging the soldiers to 'let capitalists fight their own battles"
 The eight-page, mimeographed sheets also suggested the soldiery organize and demand Q pay in- crease. Guards collected the iitera. ture and sent 1t to headquarters. The plane, with olive drab wings and blue fuselage, but without army insignia, flew low over the camp. The soldiers believed 1t part of the maneuvers until the pamph- lets descended. Two men were in the plane.

 All naval forces were withdrawn from the islands in 1922, the re. port Faid, "and since then not only us the territroy never had neither any military nor any naval forces stationed therein but also 1t never had any Notifications or military or naval bases established or main- tained."
 Detailed expenditures on ports and harbors were given.
 Rumors of Japanese fortifica- tions in the Pacific aroused appre. hension in the United States be- cause the mandated islands cut across the United States communi- cations with China and the Phil ippines and extend into the so-called American quadrilateral' stretching between the Aleutians, Guam, Hawaii ana Samoa.

Mercury Climbs To 1l5 In Shade

In the Red Sea, July % (By Mail)-(UP)-This is the place where it's 90 when it's cool.
 There is west wind at the moment, a thing considered n rare luxury In tho Red Sea. With n west wind, 1t Is doubt- full that the temperature will ever go above O5--in the shade.
 Things gre not so good if the wind Is following the ship. Then 1t does no good and the mercury shoots past the lOO mark.
 The real test comes with an cast wind, which gathers in Baluchlstan, boils across a thousand miles of Arazian desert to the sea and gives even the sharks prickly heat. Then the thermometer stands at ftO to 115 in the shade.
 "Of course, it's hotter on shore," ships officers explain. They distribute to passengers n booklet on Djlbouti which starts off: "Cllmatc-there are two we'll defined seasons, the one from October to May. cas- fly endurable ."

MIRA REVIVAL TO BE STUDIED IN
 RECESS, MONTHS
President Wants to Save Good Points That Are
 Under Threat

Washington, Aug. % (UP) - New Deal legislation to supplant the MIRA will be prepared for sub- mission to congress next January, congressional leaders assured Presi- dent Roosevelt today.
 They accepted reluctantly the presidents instructions for pre- paration of legislation virtually certain to embroil congress in a long fight, with the ultimate out come far from certain.
 The presidents request was made Saturday night in identiacl letters to Chairman Robert l.. Doughton of the house ways and means committee and Chairman Pat Har- rlson of the senate finance com mittee.
 Preserve The Best.
 He asked that a study of in- dustrial conditions be made during the recess with view to "formu- lation of proposed legislation for preserving permanently to the na- ton such social and economic ad- vantages as were gained through previous emergency enactments."
 Senators who have sponsored labor legislation this session pre- dicted the new legislation would take the form of Q minimum wage and maximum hour statute. That was the Fundamental basis of the old MIRA.
 It was virtually certain that proposals for reviving the blue eagle will not have united democra- tic support. Sen. Bennett c. Clark, d.. Mo, outspoken foe of NRA, al- ready has indicated antagonism to the proposal.
 Sen. Hugo l.. Black, d., Ala, said he hoped the new plan would embody his 30-hour work week bill. Failure of the administration to give this bill support resulted in its being scrapped at this ses- sion.
 Further Court Hit.
 President Roosevelt's insiste ence on passage of the Guffey little NRA" coal bill despite "doubt as to its constitutionality" was inter. preted as indicating & desire to further test the courts attitude toward federal regulation of busi- ness.
 He sought to revive the principle of MIRA during the present session of congress in the Walsh bill, re- quiring maximum hours and mini- mum wages under MIRA conditions for firms working on government contracts. The bill was scrapped in the congressional rush toward adjournment.
 The only concessions wrung from congress this session were exten- sion of a skeleton MIRA with power only to receive voluntary fair trade agreements and working practices, and the Guffey bill.

Ethiopian Cause Wins Sympathy
 Of Arabians
By EDWARD w. BEA1yrIE (United Press Stan Correspondent


 Djiboutl. French Somaliland. July 27 (By MaiD (UP)-East , African whites generally sym bathize with Mussolinis ambitions tor land, and black tribes and the Mohammedan world even more strongly with Ethiopia, according to foreigners in Djibouti. "It's not that anyone doubts the justice of the Ethiopian stand" one prominent non-French for Igner explained, "Ethiopia may have been at times bad neighbor, but she has never done anything Go justify an armed attack.
 "Political considerations are strong. and 1t seems positive that Frenchmen in East Africa have taken their cue from the stand of their own government. And whites of other nationalities, excepting most British, recognize Italys need for land and feel 1t is time some nation opened up Ethiopia for commerce.
 Fear ltaly's Strong Hand.
 'If 1t were to be England. I be- lieve no one would object But here we fear that with Italy mas ter of the country, no citizens of other nations will have opportuni- ties there."
 The sympathies o fthe Negroes are obvious. Ethiopia is a native empire inthe midst of foreign en- croachers. Those of the Maham- medan states, especially the Ara bian, are more complex.
 Ono factor has it's roots in the religion of the Prophet. There is a passage in the Koran, 1t Is said, in which is described how Moham- med. fleeing from hsi enemies, was given aid and asylum by the Ethi- opians.
 Arabian States Disturbed. But the most important factor, according to resident whites, Is that the states of Arabia see the possibility that If Italy gains Ethl- opia and with 1t the status of q major colonial power, their own independence might be threatened in the future.
 "ln Yemen. for instance" 1t Is explained, "thero very fertile land. Fine fruits are grown in the mountains, and the Yemen coffee is considered the best in the wcrld.'
 A few months ago, according to reliable sources, the Italians re- cruited at Alden goo to 300 Yemen Arabs, taking htem to Italian fnt iItta Italian Recruiting Halted.
 Shortly after that mission coEnposed of tho Arab Ahmed Saleh and two Philippians. one of them the consul at DJibouti, Au- tiarjhe Nasal, went to Yemen. Since then there has been no more Italian recruiting from that source.
 If war comes, 1t will probably. mean no more to Djibouti than the possible shutting down of the rail- road to Adds Ababa. But the French government Is taking no chances. Native tribes, especially in the interior arc strongly sym pathetic with the Ethiopian cause. and foreigners fear that an Italian reverse In Ethiopia might lead to revolt against other white colon- igers.
 e On July 26, French naval transport dorrepd off at Djibouti four light guns, quantities of ann intuition and some barbed wire. There are reports of more things to follow. There is only small garrison in French Somallland. but is. expected to be reinforced by a contingent of Senegalese. And the four airplanes at present here may be increased before the end of the rainy season.
