possible if they will back Great Britain

Eden, who said, We must go on"
1t is now apparent that France,
however reluctantly, must support
Britain "in the last resort" in fear
that England will turn isolationist and
withdraw from European embroil-

Germany alone.
But the chief concern now is to de-

CHIEFS ORDERED TO AFRICA.
Mussolini to Send Government Heads
to Eritrea.


ROME. August 20 CP.-Authorita-
tive sources disclosed today that a
large proportion of Premier Musso-
lini's governmental chieftains will be
transferred to East Africa.
Following the receipt Of orders to
the cabinet ministers and other gov
ernment officials to turn out for the
war maneuyers next Saturday in the
north of Italy, it became known that
many of them are destined for active
or administrative service in Eritrea.
Despite previous orders to the con-
trary, the war maneuvers may be
viewed by representatives Of the for
eign press. The ministry of the press
reversed its former ruling. which
would have barred foreign journal
lists from viewing the Italian army in
simulated combat.
Among the first ministers who have
been agreed upon for East African
service are Count Galeazzo Ciano,
minister of the press; Giuseppe Valle,
undersecretary of aviation, and G. H.
Ventura, undersecretary of posts, tele-
graphs and telephones.
Other ministries. particularly that
of public works. will be represented
either by the ministers themselves or
by undersecretaries.
Officials of the Fascist party also
are to go. Gen. Teruzzi, the head of

II Duce commanded representation
of the entire government at the
maneuvers involving approximately
100000 men which are to be held
along the Austrian frontier starting
next Saturday.
The order included some 300 Sem
ators and Deputies. Military circles
said it would constitute something
more than q sham war.
The maneuvers would serve, they
said, to give final training to numer-
Gus regiments destined TO face the
dusky warriors Of Emperor Halle Sc
lassie in a struggle believed not only
inevitable, but also imminent.
Mussolini's order was given after

colony in East Africa.
After marching for more than a
mile behind Razzas bier, Mussolini
halted the procession to deliver the
order.
The air forces also were increased
by II Duce's order. The reinforce
ments number $4,000 men, Of whom
$500 are officers and subalternS. These
additions will bring the total aviation
strength to 40.483 men.
Informed circles said that this new
strength was further evidence of Mus
solinis determination to carry out
his East African campaign to the
limit and at the same time build his
army to q point of defiance Of any
European obstruction of his plans.

The Emperor called . special sesr

able to obtain funds from their coun-
try, fear they will be stranded in
Ethiopia in the event Of war.

inner end stood Mussolini with a saw
The Italian had put one over on him,
and his fall would be hard. M. Laval
had a real grievance.
The Britain, under the influence Of
home opinion. which dislikes oppres-
sion of native races unless British
interests are involved, began to take
notice She had a double motive,
because she had made highly salts
factory deal with Ethiopia regarding
Lake Tsana and the Nile sources with
in Ethiopian territory, and she desired
10 save the League embarrassment.
The League is a favorite institution
among the peace-loving Britons and
a source Of great hope.
Britain needed to reinstate herself
in the French good graces after the
German naval agreement. She was
willing to take the initiative against
Italian ambitions and did, though with
some reservations
However, Mussolini set the Italian
press upon Britain perhaps a little too
hard. Other considerations arose that
caused the British government to take
the matter even more seriously. One
was the growing concern Of blacks in
British colonies about the fate Of
Ethiopia.
Reconciliation Doubtful.
Now that the tripartite conference
has collapsed. every one is wondering
VI hothor provnior inv
Mussolini can compose their personal
differences. There is not much hope
here that Premier Laval could ar
range meeting which Premier Mus
solini suggests. His political future
is already somewhat jeopardized by the
unexpected results of the January
meeting with II Duce at Rome.
II Duce needs friends now desperate
ly, and Mr.. Laval is the best friend
he could have on the continent. So
maybe it will all be patched up har-
moniously. Otherwise there is an un-
pleasant alternative.
France has one last weapon. 1t
Is understood that certain essential
military arrangements made after the
Rome agreement for French support
of Italy in case Of trouble with Ger
many are not backed by a written
agreement. If Italy proves recall
citrant, Premier Laval might tell
Premier Mussolini that, owing to his
subsequent actions. the whole deal is
off. Italy can restore her troops to
the Franco Italian border. because no
French troops will be sent to reinforce
the Italians at Brenner Pass II Ger
many attempts to stir up anything
in Austria. The preliminaries look
ing toward q Danubian conference
are Cancelled.
Pact With Germany Likely.
France may even consider making
a temporary agreement with Ger
many lasting year or two, leaving
Italy in her former isolation. And
Britain with French cooperation
might consider certain naval meas
ures that would effectively close the
Suez Canal to all troop carriers and
supply ships.
1t is last desperate weapon to be
invoked as a final resort, and then
only with the Leagues blessing, which
would mean Italy's retirement from
the League. And what might hap
pen after that no man can now
foresee.

Many soldiers are drilling in the

ETHIOPIAN TRADE
POSITION IS WEAK
Products in Poor Demand
With Prices LoW-ItaIy
Adds Chemical Plants.

BY the Associated Press.
The worst business situation in two
decades confronts Ethiopia as she pre-
pares for possible war with Italy.
The Department of Commerce made
this statement in report, which
added:
This condition was attributed pri-
marily to current political develop
ments. although the continued weak
demand and the low price level of the
country's leading export products were
also important contributing factors"
Another department report noted
that recent Italian government de-
crees have authorized the erection of
several new chemical plants and the
extension Of others in various parts
OF Italy.
These new and extended plants"

wide line of chemicals including va
nillin, bronine, cyanides, acids, phoS-
phorous, coal tar intermediates and
paint materials"
Imports Fall OFF.
III summarizing ILle GlLllOpldll ouol-
ness situation, the department said:
Imports during the first five months
OF 1885 totaled l0.502 metric tons, as
compared with l4.O25 in the same
period of 1894; practically all the
principal items (salt. gray sheetings
and other textiles, building material,
sugar and glasSware) with the eXcep-
ton of automobiles and petroleum
products, showed declines.
Although this period tdry season.
Is behind an active business season,
there was steady liquidation of stocks
by importers and few orders were
placed. Exports showed gain of

Of 1884, the respective figures being

tary returns, on the other hand, were
estimated at Is per cent below 1884.
25 Per cent Price Drop.
1.-THE average drop in price level
Of local products was estimated at
IS per cent. whereas import prices
showed slight changes.
Because OF the general uncer-
tainty, local trade has been conducted
almost entirely on cash basis. with
credit restrictions becoming more
severe.
The credit situation was further
unsettled by the failure of two i'm
portant coffee exporters; the coffee
market was weakened by the accumu-
lated stock at Jibuti for foreign de-
mand and an anticipated record crop

consequences for the future policy of France
and even for European peace.
Even more important than the historic
misunderstanding between Mr.. Laval and Pres
ident Hoover over French war debts, 1t threat
ems to affect the Franco italian understanding,
which has been one of the major political de-
velopments since ths war. And If that Is
affected, the whole European balance of power
as it now exists may be placed in jeopardy.
That Mussolini himself realizes and admits
this misunderstanding has become definitely
known. The French press has been limiting
that Mr.. Laval had been misled last January
when he and MusSolini reached their agreement
about Ethiopia.
When Baron Pompeo Alosi Of Italy tele-
phoned II Duce Sunday in the last and fateful
call which put an end to the parley. Mussolini
said many harsh words about the British
according to an excellent authority but he also
indicated he had grievance against the
French premier for accusing the Italian leader
Of having misled him.

Laval In Search Of Help.
When Pierre Laval went to Rome last
January to make a new entente with Premier
Mussolni, he needed help and was prepared
to pay for it. The exchange Of views covered
a wide range Some frontier questions were
settled, the status of Italians in Tuns was
arranged, and an understanding was reached
regarding cooperation in case of German
attack on Austria and concerning the naval
status of the two powers in the Mediterranean.
The result was widely heralded as highly salts
factory.
But among other things Premier Mussolini
asked Mr.. Laval if he had any objection to
Italian expansion in the direction of Ethiopia.
For instance, if Italy should attempt to do in
Ethiopia what France had done in Morocco,
would France see therein any reason for COM

Men charged with drunkenness or

they may remain at home at night
