 In Receptive Mood
 ..ddis Ababa, Sept. 23.-(UP).- Private advices reaching the Ethiopian capital today inclined so e officials to the belief that the Italian cabinet may be in more receptive mood when 1t meets agaiI Tuesday.
 Ih some quarters there is hope a slim hope. however. --that a set tlement of this country's quarrel with Italy might be in sight under pressure of British arms.
 Officials also pointed out today that, following intensive Italian troop activity in the last fortnight. especially in Eritrea, both poten- tial fronts now are inactive. It is admitted. however. that this does not necessarily mean weakening of the Italian stand.
 Tine populace of the capital is nor entsriiy forgetting the menace of war In anticipation of ths pf -eantry of the MascaI feast on r, .ay and Saturday.

Greetings to Pershing

You read about the impressive tributes to General Pershing in Europe on the occasion of his 75th birthday recently. But you didn't see the informal greetings that came flooding into his office at the War Department.
 Yes. the general still keeps an office there, 8 big, old-fashioned room with sign above the door which says, "The General of the Armies.''
 Some of those greetings were really touching, cheap little penny postcards with a spot of blue rib bon, like one From 8 mother who has a son in the service in the Philippines" Or the letter: Ten years ago you had your pie ture taken at Bahia, Blanco, Ar geftine, holding a baby in your arms. Since my birthday falls on the same day as yours, l want to send you best wishes =. am very proud of that picture and also of the one of you which you autographed.
 All such are gathered together by Capt. George F.. Adamson, ONO, who has served as the gem erals secretary since Mexican bor- der days of 1916.
 He acknowledges them as best he can and forwards them to Pershing. More than 400 of them came this year.

Turns to Broad Field

But now the AFGE turns from the purely federal field to all employees of all governments. local as well as national. If 1t succeeds in building broad national or- ganization among them all, 1t would be by long odds the great est white collar" labor organi- zation, and would command great influence.
 That influence could be for good or evil, according to the leadership.
 It could, for instance. be q strong influence against the spells system and local corruption. And it could also build up the "vested interest" of government employees in the riIobs to the point where reductions and economies in gov- ernment payrolls would be for ever impossible.
 Nobody knows which result would follow, or whether such organization can be built. The point is. that for the first time the road Is open.

through cession to Italy of large portion of Ethlopia's territory.
 2-AA considerable portion of the Ethiopian army to be disarmed and demobilized, and the remainder to be placed under Italian com manders.
 There Is a. third demand, which concerns the granting to Ethiopia of an outlet to the sea, but the na- ture of this demand remained un- clear. Britain and France have intimated that they would grant Ethiopia such an outlet by cession of land from French and British Somaliland. It was reported that Italy demanded either that any free port granted to Ethiopia must run through Italian territory or that Ethiopia be granted merely a free port, in Italian territory, with out cession of land.
 It was understood that Mussoli- nj demanded also that Italy be given a prominent part fin any League of Nations plan to supply advisers to the Ethiopian govern ment.
 MussOllni's "Observations"
 Mussolinfs statement of his de- mands was made in the form of observations" on the committee's s plan which he rejected Saturday.
 It was predicted by some that the committee would not even con- sider the proposals as a basis for negotiation but would report to the League council, which meets late today, that 1t saw no hope of con- ciliating Italy. It would not bc necessary to reject the Italian de- mands formally, as they were not made officially.
 As committeeman gathered for a meeting at 10:30 a. m. (4:30 8. m. EST) they seemed hopeless. Premier Pierre Laval of France hastened here as soon as he heard of tn demands, arriving this morn- ing. It was understood he would try to avert complete rupture between Italy and the League.
 The conviction is growing that the League will apply penalties of some sort against Italy if 1t at- tacks Ethiopia.

The concert was somewhat in the
nature of noble experiment"
with the composer as its subject. At
the finish, Mrs. Sparks arrange
ments seemed to have won out over
Mr.. GerShWin's music. AS in the
case of most popular compositions
the chief interest lay not so much in
the music itself, as in what was
done to it. Mrs. Sparks is clever,
both as arranger and pianist, and
her original harmonic and instru-
mental embellishments of the we'll
known melodies were often to the
music'S advantage. But in the
chaste medium of the string
quartet, songs like Strike Up the
Band" seemed to lose their vitality.
An over-serious approach to es-
sentially flippant music seemed to
mar the performance, and the in
PRODUCTION of expression" into the
songs only rendered the lyrics in
congruous. Aside from such works
as the Rhapsody" Gershwin's mu-
sic seems out of place in the con-
cert hall.
Members of the octet were Mes
danes H. H. Arnholt, Robert Blake.
