night on the heights near the
Italian lines.
Aerial reconnaiSSanceS revealed
large encampments Of Ethiopians

Gondar, the dispatch said, but
no major groups.
Airplanes dispersed groups of

100000 Near Makale
The main enemy concentration

to El Tevere, consists of approx
mately 1905 men near Makale.
Ten thousand rifles have been

Slaves freed under the procla.

are estimated at between $4,000
and 10000 out of a population
of 100000 in the whole Of Tigre

Piccolo's ASmara correspondent
put the estimate far higher, say
ing that nearly 10000 had been
liberated to date, OF whom at
least $4,000 had served under
Italy as native troops in the
campaign Of 1895.
II Duce'S Offer
Premier Mussolini's willingness
to base his military force in Eth
opia at a figure to be fixed by
France, Britain and Italy-a basis
for peace-it is authoritatively re-
ported, has been communicated to
Paris.
Although Italy's reported de-
mands do not differ widely from
the plan set forth by Premier
Pierre Laval. it is frankly doubted
here that they will be acceptable
to Britain or to Ethiopia.
Italy calls for a full mandate
over the rich province Of Tgre
in the north, and the provinces of
Ogaden and Harar and the sui
tanate of AuSSa in the east. to-
gether with a railway strip from
italian S0maliland to Eritrea, run
ming east of Adds Ababa.
In spite Of the concession re-
garding troops, Italy insists that
if Ethiopia is given an outlet to
the sea, it must be through Ital-
ian territory, at ASSab. Eritres.
so that italy can prevent Ethi-
opia's rearming.
The League Of Nations, in its
recommendations before the war
actually broke out. proposed a
League mandate over Ethiopia,
with port at Zeila, British
Somaliland.
Secret diplomatic negotiations,
chiefly concerned with the Med.
iterranean situation continue here,

on foreign affairs are due.
Meanwhile, Italy launched a

as indication that peace In East
Africa is still remote.

D. E. POST MAY

flee service seeks always to keep
the Washington office at top level
Of efficiency, and a merely po-
litical appointment to pay off a
political debt, especially at this
time, would set going a roar of
diSapproval. The Administration
has every intention Of avoiding
such a controversy if possible.
Successor Not Picked
But along came Representative
Remneck, of Ohio, whose district
produced William M. Mooney,
present Washington postmaster,
Is or more years ago. Bill"
Mooney asked no favors, but took
5000 civil service post office job
and worked up to chief clerk of
the P. o. Department; his ability
was recognized when he was ap-
pointed postmaster here. His term
expires in February next year, and
the Administrators intentions
are to offer Mr.. Mooney another
job in the service, because of his
experience and his civil service
rating. The man the AdminiStra-
tion wants to succeed Bill"
Mooney has not been picked.
However, active Representative
Lamneck Of Ohio had two good
Democrats on his hands, men who
had fought the political battles in
Franklin county. Ohio. Both of
them had helped shove Repre-
sentative Lamneck into his seat in
Congress. One of these was
Nathan Mccoy and the other AL
len Rowe. Both men demanded
postmaSterShips and their eyes
were on Columbus. Ohio.
In the civil service ratings Mr..
Rowe was the No. candidate and
Mr.. Mccoy No. 2, but Representa-
tive Lamneck gave his indorSe-
ment to Mr.. Mccoy, who got the
place because of his longer service
to the Democratic party.
Rowe Runnerup
But Mr.. Rowe was a close run
nerup. He may not have had the
years Of service, but he has been
a red.hot Democrat ever since he
could vote, which was the time
Woodrow Wilson campaigned for
the presidency.
At that time Mr.. Rowe was a
at Coalton. Jackson
county, Ohio. He was in Ohio
politics from the start, and the
great war President rewarded him
by making him postmaster at
Coalton, town of about 1000 in
Mr.. Rowe left the job
to go to war and reentered the
postal service again at Coalton.
That village postmaster expert
ence now makes him eligible to
take on the job at the National
Capital.
All these things were recalled
to the civil service by Represent
ative Lamneck when the Colum-
bus newspaper reported the fact
that the Administration is cool
toward Mr.. Rowe's aspirations.
He wrote to President Mitchell, of
the Civil Service Commission, who
replied that regardless of the
executive order linn
ting postmasters to their own
Mr.. Rowe is ever eligi-
BILE for the nations most con-
spicuous postal job because of his
service handing out the post cards
and other daily mail at Coalton,
\ town so small it is difficult TO
locate on the average map.
Letter to Lamneck
President Mitchell explained
that for years it has been the
Commissions practice under Presi-
Dental executive orders to au-
thorize reinstatement to the posi-
ton of Presidential poStmaSters
Of qualified persons who show
eligibility for reinstatement. This
opens the gate to anyone with
postal experience smart enough to
1ualify.

.LEAGUES'S PLEA
T0ANERICA
DOOMED
Sec. Hull Will Avoid
Any Promises on
Sanctions Aid
international News Service

A move by the League Of Ma.
tions to draw this government out
on the extent to which it might
be prepared to go in backing
League sanctions against Italy
seemed doomed to failure today.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
has no intention of making any
promises to the League under ex.
isting circumstances.
The view prevailed that the
League should wait until it applies
the economic sanctions it has
voted and it becomes apparent
how effective those sanctions
prove before any move is made to
imply that American trade is the
chief obstacle to effectiveness of
European sanctions against Italy.
Three Possible Steps
With this view in mind, Secre-
tary Hull is considering three al
tentative replies to the Leagues
effort to get this Government to
offer suggestions.
The three alternative steps
were:
l. A statement recapituIating
all the steps taken by the
United States to remain neu-
trail in the ItalO-EthiOpian con.
flict and the moral pressure
brought to bear on Italy to re-
frain from any resort to war.
This statement also would point
out the fact this Government
was one of the first nations to
impose an arms EN- barEO
against the belligerents and had
gone the full length under its
existing legal authority to re-
main neutral.
2. Express qualification at the
Leagues efforts to maintain
peace and point out Americas
only interest in the contrO-
verSy is the preservation of
world peace.
3. Merely acknowledge receipt
of the League communication
to this Government and refrain
from any comment.
MUST HAVE APPROVAL
A disposition prevailed to recon-
mend either the first or third step
to President Roosevelt. The lat.
ter's approval will be sought be-
fore any reply is made and, in this
connection, Secretary Hull may
communicate with the President
aboard the cruiser Houston by
naval radio.
The Leagues notice that it
would welcome ANY communica-
tion" which this Government
might deem it proper to make in
connection with Geneva's efforts
to check Italian conquest of Ethio-
pia accompanied a report on the
program of economic sanctions
against Italy adopted by the
League. This report was sent to
this Government as well as the
governments of other non-League
nations.
The Leagues notice that it
would welcome any communica-
ton was viewed as a move by
Geneva to sound out this and
other non-League governments
concerning their willingness to
support Geneva'S sanctions.

sire to eliminate war Is an in.
strument Of national policy"
The British foreign minister
thus plainly restaed the British
thesis that Britain will approve Of
no settlement of he African crisis
incompatible with the League Of
Nations covenant. This means
Ethiopia and Geneva must be
satisfied, as well as Italy.
Regarding the British defense
moves, Sir Samuel said:
"The worship Of force in many
parts Of the world has COM
PEELED us in the interests Of
peace to look to our defenses.
DANGERS AHEAD
attacks upon collective Sc
curity threaten . hard struggle
for those determined to create
. better ordered world.
"The crisis with which we are
confronted is not . crisis Of =
few days or q few weeks. 1t Is
a SymtOm of wider and more
prOtracted movements which
can only be controlled by n
steady pressure Of constant de-
termination to face the facts Of
o changing world.
''It is because our eyes are
fixed so intently upon the
future that the government Is
fighting for the League and the
principle of sthe covenant, and
we pray that the principles Of
collective action will be upheld
and thta q way will be speedily
found to end this hateful con-
trOverSy."
Sir Samuel said there never
had been any difference opinion
between himsel and Capt. Anthony
Eden, youthful British minister
for League affairs. Captain Eden.
said the foreign minister. has had
the governments full support at
Geneva.
Claims No Quarrel
Replying to critics who urged
that Britain should close the Suez
Canal to cut Italian communica-
tions, Sir Samuel reaffirmed there
was no quarrel between Britain
and Italy, and that while Britain
was prepared to perform her full
duties as a member of the League,
she would take no isolated action
whatever"
Sir Samuel dealt throughout his
address with large issues. He re-
Trained from mentioning Anglo
italian misunderstanding which
were discussed between Sir Eric
Drummond, British ambassador
to Rome, and Premier Benito
Mussolini, or proposals for reduc-
tion of the British naval forces
in the Mediterranean and of
italian forces in Lbya.
Complete solidarity exists be-
tween France and Britain on the
of Article XVI, the
article, of the League
Of Nations covenant, said Sir
Samuel. Then added:
SIN the event of an isolated
attack, incOnceivabIe though
such madness might be, we and
the rest Of the League stand to
gether and resist it with our
full and united force"
Sir Samuel reiterated Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin'S decla-
ration that Britain never regarded
the controversy as an opportunity
for attacking Fascism or for mo
bilizing League machinery for the
humiliation Of italy"
