Hour of Attack
Seen Near in
Rome.
ILDUCEICNORES
PARLEY BREAK
Exhorts Troops to
Victory When
Test Comes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ROME. August l9.-The ominous
moment when the Fascist military
might will be unleashed against En-
peror Halle Selassie's barefoot Ethi-
opian troops is not far distant, in
formed quarters forecast today.
This opinion gained adherents
hourly as the nation primed for war
and read somewhat disdainfully Of
the suspension OF the Paris nego-
tiations Of the three powers.
The news of the parley's collapse
came as no surprise to most Italians
Illustrative of the feeling that the
conference was foredoomed was
Mussolinis departure from Rome for
the week end to exhort the troops
in training in Southern Italy to prove
their mettle in the nations solemn
hour
The single hope for a diplomatic
settlement of the East African con-
troversy remains with the League of
Nations Council which meets Sep
SShAbSA HlCu ClTCltS, now
ever, regard this as likely to present
an even feebler obstacle to the Italian
military plans than the tri-power
parleys.
Session Is Significant.
But the forthcoming meeting at
Geneva is viewed as of prime sig
nifcance for what it may augur for
Europe's collective peace.
Addressing the 28th of October
Division, II Duce, even before it was
public news that the Paris parley had
failed, urged the troops to forget
diplomatic polemics."
This hour" he told the Black
shirts, lis solemn for you and decisive
for the nation. Discourse must be
abolished. You have your orders in
the name of your division. You will
march over every obstacle until you
have reached the goal which will be
pointed out to you"
Press Sounds War Drums.
The Italian press echoed Mussolini's
statement that the nation will keep
in its heart the great deeds the
BlackShirt legions are about to ac-
complish in East Africa" They also
repeated his demand to them to
march ahead toward your goal.'
The temper of the nation regarding
war is accepted as well summed up in
a speech by Carlo Delcroix, president
OF the War Blinded. who said:
1T is not true that war degrades
and besmirches humanity. Instead it
illumines and eXalts it. We all know
ourselves to be better men because of
it. even though our hands we're stained
with blood"
With Italian military action In
Ethiopia impending, the official
Gazette today announced the suppress
sion Of commodity exchange markets
in 10 cities.
Rome Control Seen.
The Gazette announced that a
royal decree suppressed the commod-
ity exchanges Of Bologna, Florence,
Fiume, Genoa, Milan. Naples, Padua,
Turin. Trieste and Venice.
The decree said the action was
taken because the exchanges mo
longer respondde to the needs of the
market" 1t was interpreted as a
move to bring the dealings in mer-
chandise more closely under the con-
troll of the government.
The necessity of exercising this con-
troll with increasing rigidity has re-
suited from the vast exchanges of
goods occasioned by preparations for
the East African military campaign.

THELMA TODD THREAT

Apartment House Superintendent
Alleged to Have Demanded
Sums in Letters.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 19.-Harry
Schminsky, Queens apartment house
superintendent, was held by Depart

charge that he attempted to extort
sums ranging from $4,000 to $40, 900
through series of threatening letters
to Thelma Todd, motion picture
actress, and Abe Lyman, orchestra
leader.
The agents said Miss Todd received
the first letter last February. It
threatened her with death unless she
sent $4,000 to Lyman. A few DAYS
later Lyman received letter demand
ing $4,000. Soon afterward both
received letters and the sum de-
manded was raised to $4,000.
The later letters, the Department
of Justice announced, directed that
the money be sent to fictitious per-

Until recently the Ethiopians were
indifferent and highly disdainful re-

But the limelight into which they
have been forced as a result of the
controversy with Italy is rapidly
changing their viewpoints and literary
taste.
Where formerly news of the great

crowds now gather around every avail

world, angry protests were heard ev-
erywhere. The English people were
so aroused that Prime Minister Bald
wins government was threatened.
Still worse was the plight of Lavafs
ministry, for Eduard Herriot, leader
of the powerful Radical Socialists, at
tackled the premier's policy as inimical
to the League of Nations. His party.
Herriot declared, favors settlement OF
the war by Cancellation, but only on
the following conditions: First, it must
be freely accepted by both parties, and
second, the method of Cancellation
must be compatible with the covenant
of the league and the principles of
collective security and must be ac-
ceptable to the league.
Placed before the league council, the
peace plan was assailed by represent
atives of the smaller European nations
which fear they, too, might be similarly
sacrificed in the future; and Mexico
and other Latin American nations also
signified that they disapproved 1t.
Halle Selassie strategically demanded
that the league assembly pass upon the
proposals. Mussolini took them under
consideration, asking that they be
clarified; but the inspired Italian
press said the plan would give Italy
less than her armies have conquered
in the Tigre. "only sand" in the East
and South and a zone of influence
where hostile Emperor Halle Selassie
would reign.
Throughout the whole matter ran
the mysterious threads of secret Eu-
ropean diplomacy and one could only
guess at the real motives of those
concerned. 1t was supposed Baldwin
and his British cabinet were weaken
ing in the matter of sanctions against
Italy because they feared Mussolini
would resist by force of arms and
would do tremendous damage to the
British fleet In the Mediterranean with
his powerful air force. Laval, OF
course, was still trying to preserve
both his political position and the new
Franco-I Italian friendship. Mussolini
seemed satisfied for the present to
keep everyone else terribly worried.
A dispatch from the italian front re-
veals the interesting fact that Henry
Ford Cancelled the contract for 800 cars
for the Italian army and therrA7, ac-
cording to Gen. Rudolfo Gfeziani,
greatly slowed up the invaders on
their march toward Adds Ababa.

Farm Bureaus Uneasy About
Federal Fiscal Policies


before the American Farm Bureau
ID federation closed its convention in
Chicago, it adopted a resolution en-
dorsing reciprocal trade treaties. To
avoid dissension, the resolution did not
mention specifically the recent trade
agreement between Canada and the
United States, which lowered the duty
on many farm products coming in over
the northern border.
Another of the II resolutions adopt
ed at the meeting concerned federal
fiscal policies" Indicating their I'M
easiness over the mounting federal
deficit, the farmers recommended that
the fiscal policies of the government
be modified, and that ''its revenues
shall be increased, and that its expen-
ditures shall be decreased, to the end
that within the next few years bal
ance shall be attained"
The federation also approved a res
olution pledging itself to defend the
Agricultural Adjustment administra-
ton act. The meeting offered no seri-
GUS criticism of the act, but asked
that its administration be simplified.
The delegates, representing paid
I'D membership of 100000 farmers in
81 states, reelected Edward A. O'Neal
of Alabama as president of the fedora
ton for term of two years. Charles
e. Hearst was reelected vice presi-
dent and all Is members Of the board
of directors were reappointed.

Republican Convention
Awarded to Cleveland

CLEVELAND is the place and June
~ 9 the date selected for the Rcpub-

national committee heard arguments
on behalf of Chicago, Kansas City and
Cleveland, and then decided on the
Ohio city, largely for political reasons.
Gov. Aft Landon of Kansas and Col.
Frank Knox of Chicago both being po-
tential candidates for the nomination,
it was thought wise to hold the con-
vention in neutral territory. Ralph E..
Williams of Oregon, vice chairman of
the committee, was made chairman of
the committee on arrangements. Dele
gates to the convention will number
997. or 157 fewer than in 1882.
The national committee concluded its
session with an invitation to conserva-
tive Democrats to join with the Repub-
licans in the effort to GUST the Roose-
welt administration.

Route Across Atlantic
THE United States and Great Brit
ain, in the conference at Washing
ton, agreed upon a plan that is ex-
pected to result in regular air mail and
passenger transportation across the
Atlantic by the summer of 1887. Ne
gotiations were under way for the
northern route by way of Canada, New
foundland, and Irish Free State to
England, and the southern route from
Porto Rico and American ports to
England.
The northern route is more practical
BILE than the southern route because Of
the shorter distance, but is less prac-
ticable in winter because flights would
be undertaken under less favorable
conditions.
Under the agreement experimental
flights will begin next summer. When
regular service is inaugurated, accord
ing to the agreement, four round trips
will be made each week.
