One-Third MayGo
to Build Forces.

(Copyright, 1885. by the Associated Press)
LONDON, December 8. King
George told Parliament today it Is
urgently necessary that deficiencies
in the defense forces" of the British
Empire be made good"
The Kings warning came. as the
ninth Parliament Of his reign con-
vened.
A few hours before Parliament met
the British treasury announced the
government has floated two loans
totaling $500 900, O,00O-about sl,45s,-
100000.
At least f2Oo. 900 900, it was under
stood, was intended as refinancing for
other government debts, but no i'm
mediate announcement was forthcom-
ing as to the purpose for which the
remaining f100, ZOO, 900 was intended.
Reaffirms League Faith.
The King conveyed to Parliament
his governments point of view.
"The governments foreign policy"
he declared, will, as heretofore, be
based on the firm support of the
League Of Nations. They remain pre-
pared to fulfill in cooperation with
the other members of the League the
obligations of the covenant.
Particularly they are determined
to use at all times the full weight of
their influence for the preservation Of
peace.
I'm pursuance Of these obligations,
the government felt compelled to
adopt, in cooperation with some so
other members Of the League, certain
measures Of an economic and financial
nature In regards to Italy. g"
Touches on Labor.
After discussing defense plans, the
King took up internal affairs, par
ticularly concerning himself with the
situation Of labor and unemployment.
1.-THE problem of securing improved
conditions In the coal mining indus
try" said the King, "is receiving
anxious consideration. A re-
organization measure will be intro
duced providing for the unification
Of coal royalties under national con-
troll"
King George said the government
would pay especial attention to AREAS
in which the burden of unemploy-
ment is greatest"
He said special measures would be
undertaken for the improvement Of
living conditions of laboring men and
for the elimination of slums.
III Duce Firm.
Authoritative sources said a discus
sion Of peace plans was proceeding
amicably between Great Britain and
France, but that there was not the
slightest indication that Premier Mus
solini of Italy was ready to talk peace
or would propose to accept the terms.
An attitude of pessimism prevailed
among Officials, who regarded the ap-
plicatioH of oil sanctions against Italy
as inevitable.
The treasury succeeded in setting
q new low record in interest rates

peror Halle Selassie has appealed to
Patriarch Johannes, supreme au-

authoritative religious source said to-

The request was made through
Abuna (high bishop Cyril, former

The Emperor instructed the abuna

Police and guards said the break
occurred when the prisoners, all in
one gang, under Guard Frank
Shaughnessey, were gathered in the
yard near q huge 5-ton motor truck,
Of which Richards was the driver.
The gang suddenly set upon
Shaughnessey and beat him down.
One of the convicts slugged Richards.
Jumping upon the truck, the con-
victJ drove for the tunnel-like truck
entrance leading toward the railroad
yards. They broke through the gate
and Immediately abandoned the truck
and ran.
Prison guards pursued them, firing
as they ran. Boston police and State
police rushed to the scene.
Two of the escaping prisoners were

French Horn Once Banned
in Some Musical Circles

The French horn Is one of the most
valuable and difficult wind instruments
In the orchestra. 1t has a slender con-
zeal tube wound round in coils upon
itself, and consists of four principal
parasitic body, the crooks, the mouth
piece and the slides.
The body is the main tube, the
crooks are interchangeable spiral
tubes of varying length which alter
the pitch and key of the instrument;
the mouthpiece is different from 9TH
er wind instruments in that 1t Is fun
nel-shaped and not cup-shaped.
The slides are pairs of sliding tubes
by means of which the instrument may
be tuned.
The horn Is also equipped with three
valves to be operated by the player
In producing the various tones In the
scale.
The tone of the horn is mellow.
rich and sonorous and is distinguished
at the same time by certain human
quality which is vastly different from
all the other members of the brass
section.
The origin of the horn must be
sought in prehistoric times, when, says
an authority in the Washington Post,
by breaking off the tip Of short ami
NAL horn, che or at best two notes
were obtained. This was undoubtedly
the origin Of the horn that was de-
veloped later and used in the SYM
phony orchestra. 1t seems strange to
think the horn was opposed at first.
for now it is heard in nearly every
orchestral piece. Yet when it first en-
tered the orchestra it was considered
coarse and unfit to mingle with the
more delicate violins and oboes.
