WASHINGTON, Aug. %. W.R) -
Work relief officials revived the
old CWA system of making blanket
allotments to individual states

wholesale patches to state direc-
tors to put 100000 persons on fed

accomplish the goal of the new

needy from relief rolls to work
projects. About 100000 are en-
ployed now.
Most of the work relief, to end
the dole by mid-autumn, must pc

to employ a maximum number Of
relief roll needy at low cost with
a minimum of delay. Compare
lively few public works develop
ments can qualify.

a point where direct relief costs
for September were estimated at
less than for any other month this
year.
The allotment board set aside
$750O0,00O to finance the dole next
month compared to sos, 100000 for
August 100000 for July.
The board also recommended
presidential approval for eXpendi-
ture of $751; Isl, ,645 for ITO of Hop

MAKES
COMMENT ON
WAR DANGERS

VATICAN CITY, Aug. %. U.p)-
The pope, in addressing a delega-
ton of Catholic nurses at Castle
Gandoleo yesterday, strongly con-
demned war for conquest" in
terms plainly pointing to Italy and
Ethiopia, the vatican organ Osser-
vatore Romano revealed tonight.
The nurses have been attending
an international Catholic nursing
congress in Rome.
Already abroad" the pope told
the nurses, they speak of war
of conquest, of an offensive war.
That is something of which we do
not wish to think; something dis
concerting to us.
"a war which is only a war of
conquest is plainly unjust-some-
thing unbelievably sad and hor-
rible which strains the imagina-
ton.
I'm Italy they say it will be a
just war-because it will insure
their frontiers against constant
dangers; because it is necessary
for expansion of a population
breeding daily; because it is a war
of progress insuring imperial prog
ress of the country.
But, dear children, if the need
for expansion eXists-we must not
refuse to face tiff there also ex-
lists the need for defense of from
tiers, then we can only hope that
a solution of the difficulties can
be reached without war.
Admittedly, it is not easy to see
how such a solution can be reach
ed, but we refuse to believe that it
is impossible"

The babies are only too anxious
to walk. They seize every oppor-
tunity to pull themselves to their

standing at the hospital windows.
Their sturdy legs appear strong
enough now to support them, and
every one, even Tiny Marie, seems
vitally interested in stepping out"
Every baby showed a weight gain

DR.. Dafoe said they would soon

FRANCE NOT
ANXIOUS To
ANNOY ITALY

PARIS, Aug. %. U.P) = The
French cabinet, in three-hour
session today, was understood to
have approved a firm French stand
at Geneva against international
penalties against Italy.
The cabinet has abandoned hope
of seeing the conflict in Africa
settled without war, but was in
creasingly optimistic on the
chances of localizing it, avoiding
a breakdown of the League of Ma
tions and of Frances policy on the
continent.
Paris was hopeful that the ten
sion between Italy and Britain
would be settled as a result of the
italian decision to present Italy's
case to the league council next
Wednesday.
Success of the league machinery
depended, however, on an agree
ment by Italy to suspend military
action pending a league decision.
If Italy refuses, the situation is
hopeless.
Demonstrating its anxiety over
the crisis, the cabinet appointed
formidable delegation to repre-
sent France at Geneva. 1t will be
headed by Premier Pierre Laval,
Edouard Herriot and Joseph Paul
Boncour. All are veteran French
statesmen and have been both
premier and foreign minister.
Assistant delegates will be Jo-
seph Bonnet, minister of COM
merce; Henry Bereneger, chairman
of the senate's foreign affairs COM
mittee, and Paul Bastid, chairman
of the chambers foreign affairs
committee.

SINCLAIR SAYS
FARLEY VIEWS
HAVE CHANGED

LOS ANGELES, Aug. %. UP)-
Upton Sinclair's Epic" wing of
California democracy was gleeful
today in the belief that an alli-
ance with the national admins
tration would be sequel to a Sec
ret conference of Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley with their
chieftain.
Farley, generalissimo of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, smilingly refused
to comment on the situation, say
ing he had attended the parley ito
meet the boys"
Sinclair, former Socialist who is
chief of California Democrats in
title, at least, was less reticent.
"Mr Farley has changed" he
said, after declaring that politics
is not private" "He sees the views
of liberal Democrats. Our side
has the votes. Ham Cotton has
the money. Farley wants them
both"
Sinclair referred to Hamilton H.
Cotton, Southern California right
wing Democratic leader.
He indicated that the 'Epics"
would trade their command OF
California votes for inclusion OF
Sinclair's production for use"
program in the Democratic plat
form next year.
The conference marked the
first meeting of Farley with Sim
clair since the New Yorker snub-
bed the "Epics" in the election of
1894, when Sinclair was defeated
for governor California.
The administration at that time
refused to endorse the production
for USE program, despite Sin
clair's protest that Roosevelt had
promised support in fireside talks.

Natives In French Colony OF

AREA PREVIOUSLY QUIET
Action Draws France Closer
Into Critical Situation With
England And Italy
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. %. - A sangui-
nary raid into Ethiopian territory
by natives of French Somaliland.
in which 60 were reported killed,
spread CONSERVATION tonight in
European political circles, already
on nervous edge over the critical
situation.
The raid shifted the zone of po-
tential dynamite in Africa to new
sector-the border of Ethiopia and
the French territory of Somali-
land, hitherto quiet. French So
maitland, containing the vital sea-
port of Djibouti, lies between Ital-
ian Eritrea in north and British
Somaliland in the south, all OF
them bordering on Ethiopia and
cutting her off from the sea.
The raid was reported to Adds
Ababa by the governor of the Ethi-
opian border province of Aussa, a
fertile, well-watered country on
the edge of the desolate Danakil
desert of Ethiopia. Complete de-
tails were lacking.
The disquieting news from Adds
Ababa conceded with disturbing
reports from other points.
Gibraltar, the impregnable wall
of rock that guards the entrance
to the Mediterranean and is the
first key point in Britain's jealousy
guarded all-empire route to the
east, came into the picture when
Spain decided to station cavalry
and infantry at the border, facing
the neutral zone between Spain
and British Gibraltar.
Spain has started extensive mil
itary maneuvers, evidently deter
mined to see that her own Medi-
terranean interesteS are not jeop-
ardized.
Evidence that France and Britain
are not pulling together in the sit
uation to the same extent as in the
past came when it was announced
that Capt. Anthony Eden, Britain's
league negotiator, would leave on
Monday for the league council ses-
sion at Geneva next wednesday
without pausing in Paris.

Threatened By
.SWoIIen Creek

HOLLY, Colo, Aug. %. W.p -
Flood waters inundated this city
and surrounding territory today
after cloudburSts had caused Sec
ton of Horse Creek dam, nine
miles north of here, to wash away.
Water, from three to six feet deep,
surrounded the town. No loss OF
life was reported.
The Ross Mosser family, who
lived at the east end of Holly,
however, was not accounted for.
Whether they had fled to Granada,
west of here, when warned OF the
flood danger, authorities could not
ascertain. Mosser, his wife and
four childrsn we're known to have
been at their home, having been
warned of the impending flood.
Railroad traffic was at a stand
still and motorists were being de-
toured around the area. The high
way to the east was washed away
for several miles. Telephone and
telegraph communication was dis
rupted, but later communication
was established to Lamar and Den
yer. There was no communication
to the east, however.
The flood struck Holly after
cloudburstS had filled the reservoir
to overflowing and 100-foot Sec
ton of the dam broke. The main
section of the dam remained in
tact saving the area from a more
disastrous flood, R. j. McGrath,
district water commissioner, said.
Several farm houses and an au-
tomobile were washed away by the
flood waters, but no loss of life
was reported, as the residents had
ample warning that the dam was
weakening.
LAMAR, Colo, Aug. %. W.P)-
Horse creek went on a rampage to-
day flooding Holly, Colo, the gate
way to Colorado from Kansas.
Horse creek dam, nine miles north
of Holly was reported broken, al
lowing the impounding water to
rush into the town. Telephone
communication with Holly was cut
off and railroad service was halted.
Scores of residents were reported
to be leaving Holly in an effort to
reach high ground. The creek,
which cuts through the western
portion of the city, was rising rap
idly with parts of the business sec
ton and a portion of the residen-
tial section of the town already
flooded.
William Baldwin, a telephone
company official, and Santa Fe
railroad officials told the United
Press that the Horse creek dam
went out at 5 a. m.
No loss of life was reported.

pected little success.
An appeal to President Roosevelt
