ETHIOPIA'S FORCES DESCRIBED
BY FRENCH WAR CORRESPONDENT

would not suffice for one month of
fire.
The Ethiopian army consists of
three branches: first. 5000 soldiers
comprising the Emperors Imperial
guard TO protect him and the dy-
nasty against revolt. These troops
have been trained by Europeans,
and as soon as war is declared, the
Belgian officers who have been in
structing the army will leave Tor
Belgium. There are also some
Swedish officers but it is undecided
what they will do when war starts.
There's one Turkish general, but
the emperor insists that a Turk
will not be allowed to command.
Secondly. 2lere is the national
army numbering $4,000 unframed
men who have been given new
rifles. These men are soldiers from
father TO son, but while they rate
as soldiers. they really never go
through field training.
Thirdly, there are numerous
private provincial armies, belonging
to provincial chiefs or landowners
sufficiently wealthy to hire private
soldiers. These are chiefly equip
ped with old-fashioned breech or
muZzle leaders.
Natives Are Brave
All these Ethiopians are brave,
! tremendously vigorous and accuS-
toned TO privations. They are cap
able Of making go milometerS
(roughiy 81 miIes) afoOt daily with
cut having to worry about any or
ganized service of supply. They
have but one traditional tactic, con-
sisting OF a maneuver of envelop-
ing wings. which they will certainly
use against the Italians.
Thus far the Ethiopian army has
done little to stave off attack. 1t
/ is realized that the first italian
drive will be against Adowa, but
/ thus far there has been nothing
done TO meet it except TO scratch
la few yards of trenches in the land
outside the city.
The Italians. with $50 tanks
carefully adapted to the geography
i Of Ethiopia. several hundred planes
and hundreds of pieces of artillery
should capture Adowa easily, espe-
cially as they will be in command
Of the heights looking down or
! Adow2 which lies in a plain. The
native chieftain of Ray Seyoum, the
entire province which includes
Adowa, has several hundred thou
sand soldiers, but no tanks ano
nothing else to stop the advance
of a mechanized force.
"As far as the costs Of war are
| concerned, Ethiopia can fight or
| forever. The soldiers Of the regu.
/ lar army are unpaid, each mar
/ receiving only strip Of land il
| return for his services. The army
| feeds on the country. The loca
chiefs buy rifles and munitions 81
| the emperor has no expense fol
defense, except thai connected witt
maintenance of his imperial guard
There are many who believe tina
defections may cost the emperor hi
/ throne, in which case the Italian
may suggest a protectorate witt
| the emperors son, Asfao Taffari
| on the throne.
He is a boy of 20, tall and ia
faced. He has never been a Soldie
and is not a particularly stron
personality. MoreVer, he is know
not to share his fathers intran
sigent anti-Italian policy. To gail
| the throne the boy may accept
| protectorate and then be kept il
| power by Italian rifles, while Ital
| ian excess population migrates in
to the rich valleys of Ethiopia"

BENDIX RACE ENTRANT KILLED
SHORTLY AFTER FLIGHT STARTS

Turner said. I'm waiting until the
fog lifts nc matter how long II
takes"
The fog had cleared when Allen
started.
Cecil Allen received international
notice four years ago when he and
Don Moyle took off from Samushi-
ro Beach, Japan, on an attempted
4,465 mile nonstop flight to Seattle
for $25, 1000 prize offered for such a
crossing by the Toxic newspaper
"ASahi."
1t was a desperate attempt. They
had no funds, not even enough to
pay the inn-keeper at Samushiro.
The newspaper Asahi had to con-
tribute money to pay for their
| fuel.
They had hoped to complete the
flight in 40 hours. The deadline
passed and no word had been
heard of them. Finally, when a
week had elapsed, the flyers were
given up for dead, but two days
later the Russian steamship Buriat
wirelessed the world that both men
were alive. They had been forced
down on the tiny island of Tilgino,
on the Kamchatka coast.
Undeterred by this failure, the
flyers insisted despite official warn
ings of the dangers involved, to
continue their flight back to Amer
lean soil. They took off again and
flew 900 miles through fog and
snowStormS to Nome.
The japanese public was so i'm
pressed with their daring, the Asa
hi donated $4,000 to the flyers as
"a token of sympathy"
Allen at the time was a compara-
tive novice at flying, but he won
the admiration of aviators for the
expert take-off he made from Japan
with a load of almost six tons.
"A top-notch salesman who flew
for fun" Allen was born in Clear
water, Okla, 81 years ago, the son
of Wayne and Delpha Ridgeway
Allen.
When he was five years old his
family moved to Fullerton, Calf,
where he attended school until
1921. Then he turned his hand to
series of pursuits, successfully
ranching, oil operation, truck trans
portation and selling.
For many years he made a living
selling washing machines and re-
frigerators for a national manu-
facturer in Southern California and
Arizona.
WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 80. U.P)--
Motor trouble forced royal Leo
nard from the $4,000 Bendix air
race.
Twenty-four minutes after taking
off here after refueling, he was
obliged to return. After carefully
inspecting his motor, he announc-
ed definitely he would not con-
tinue.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30. UP)-
Cecil Allen, noted speed flyer, was
killed today when his speedy, bar
rel-shaped plane, crashed shortly
after he took off in the fifth an
nual $4,000 Bendix air race to
Cleveland.
Meantime eight other pilots, in
Guiding famed Amelia Earhart and
Col. Roscoe Turner, apparently
were laundering safely toward the
east. seeking the $4500 first prize
money.
Allen, a native of Oklahoma, was
crushed to death as his ship struck
in a potato field in Van Nuys, less
than three miles from Union air
terminal, starting point of the Ben
dix derby.
He was the last contestant to
leave, his takeoff having been de-
layed by trouble with his fuel tank.
He got away in the half-light at
5:l8 a. m.
First flyer to get into the air was
Miss Earhart, who sent her red
Lockheed Vega skillfully down the
runway at 1888 a. m. (PST).
