A BYSSINIA, or Ethiopia, concern
a ing which much has been heard

A BYSSINIA, or Ethiopia, concern
a ing which much has been heard
since Italy's declaration Of war, has
never been subject to any foreign
power. The last unsuccessful at
tempt by foreign power to secure
control of the country occurred in
1896 when Italy suffered a decisive
defeat at the hands of the Ethiop-
ians. The present ruler is Halle
Selassie I, who traces his ancestry
directly back to King Solomon and
the Queen of Sheba, who at one
time ruled this nation. The chief
occupation is stock raising, bee
keeping, cultivation of grains, cof-
fee and fruits. The principal means
of transportation is by caravan.
Practically all of Abyssinia's foreign
trade is with Great Britain and the
u. s. The barter system of trade
prevails, there being very few metal
coins. The majority of the people
are Mohammedians. The system Of
government Is feudal. The country
in general is presided over by an
emperor who has nine governors,
one over each province. Abysinnia
is member of the League Of Ma
lions. The nation has population
of 11,500,00O and an area Of $780,
600 square miles. A number Of at
tempts have been made by foreign
nations to subdue Abyssinia, but
owing to the nature Of the country
and the temper of the people none
has succeeded. Slavery was general
ly practiced until 1924, when grad
ual emancipation was begun. In 1906
United States, Frances and England
signed an agreement to respect the
integrity of Abyssinia and to refrain
from Intervention in her internal
affairs.

MOVE ON" ORDER

Arrests Threatened Follow
ing Closing of II Shell
terS Here.

Destitute transients arriving here
today were told to move on" or face
arrest for vagrancy or panhandling.
The Districts IL transient shelters
and others like them all over the
country were closed last midnight TO
newcomers as the Federal Government
began its program to halt this type of
relief by November l and replace free
beds and board with jobs for the itin-
Grant jobless.
Food, shelter and 81 week will be
supplied the 2.756 men and women
cared for by the District Transient
Bureau, at least until November / and
probably until work can be found for
all.
About 400 war veterans have been
transferred from transient shelters to
c. c. c. work at Camp Meade, Md,
In the last two days. Two hundred
more will leave today and others in
succeeding days until 1000 have been
enrolled.
All transientS registered with the
bureau prior to July IS also are regis
tered with the Works Progress and
Public Works Administrations and will
be given jobs here when jobs are avail
able. Some are at work at Boiling
Field.
Bureau officials said the Nations
transient population apparently had
been educated to the fact that no new
applicants would be received after
last midnight. Donald Dever of
Raleigh, N. c., drifted into the shelter
on John Marshall place at 11:55 o'clock
last night and was assigned a bed and
a meal requisition, but no other ap-
plicants had appeared this morning.
A limited number, selected by the
Travellers Aid Society for recommen-
dation to Elwood Street, director of
welfare, will be accommodated at the
Municipal Lodging House and some
may find place at the Central Union
Mission. But facilities with these
agencies are strictly limited and au-
thorities warned transientS to stay
away from Washington.
The influx Of transientS had been
increasing recently and arrivals of as
many as 200 daily have been recorded.
1t was unlikely that this movement
stopped abruptly with the closing Of
the shelters last midnight and scores
of itinerants were believed to have
spent the night on park benches.
Police Inspector L. I. H. Edwards
issued an order last night directing
commanding officers of precincts in
which there are transient lodges to
give special attention to same" Pan
handling will not be tolerated, police
officials reiterated.

to strike a compromise.
There is one comfort in the

been able to reach compromise

will save the face of every one''
DR.. Strakhovsky found very little

faith in MuSsolini."
