Desire for More
Land Is Cause of
Ethiopia InUnsiO,
African Country Unconquered for
Centuries; Defeated Italians
I'm Year 1896

Italy has not tried to keep secret
the fact that she attacked Ethiopia
because she needed room to spread
out her surplus population and at the
same time add to her valuable re-
sources.
Under the dictatorship Of Musso-
lini, marriages are performed in
goups of hundreds at time, and each
couple is urged to make five children
a minimum number for each family.
Many Reasons Given
Ethiopia, with an area estimated at
$4,000 square miles, has an estimat-
ed population of only 10000, 900, or
about 20 persons per square mile.
Italy, whose population has been
steadily increasing under Mussolini's
strong efforts, had, the census Of
1892 showed, 41,176,671 inhabitants
in an area of only 119,744 square
nsiles, or 344 persons per square mile.
National pride and a desire to
avenge the great Italian defeat at
Aduwa in 1896, when 5000 Italians
were killed by an Ethiopian army
which greatly outnumbered them,
also were factors IN Mussolini's de-
cision to begin the new invasion,
which resulted in early seizure Of
Aduwa.
There also have been rumors from
abroad, mostly in the Uaris leftist
press, that increasing discomfort in
Italy, due in large part to the world
depression, has threatened Musso-
ini's position as dictator, and
prompted him to take this new dra-
matte step, which, if successful,
would reinforce his popularity.
Remained Unconquered
Ethiopia stood alone in Africa as
territory unconquered or uncontrolled
by European nations. Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Portugal and Italy
control the rest of the continent, ex-
cept for Independent Liberia in which
American interests are great. But
Italy's possessions-Libya, Eritrea,
and Italian Somaliland-were small
compared with the vast holdings of
Great Britain ed France.
Mussolini has always claimed the
right to equality as a world power
with Britain and France, and much
ofshis work throughout his career has
been an attempt to strengthen this
claim. Ethiopia was a desirable ac-
quisiion, as it would afford an outlet
for some Of his surplus population
and provide a wealth of natural re-
sources.
There is a great opportunity for
development of Ethiopia's mineral re-
sources, phosphate rock, rock salt and
sulphur. There are also some iron,
lead, petroleum, platinum, mercury,
mica, tin and tungsten. Water power
is plentiful but unused.
Sugar cane, cotton, coffee and rub
Der are produced in the low country,
while grain, fruit, tobacco and pota-
toes are produced in the higher areas,
where there is also cattle raising.
Italy undoubtedly could use all
these products or ship them to other
countries. Italy is lacking in mineral
deposits and its coal production is
small. Ethiopia could provide a mar
ket for some of Italy's manufactured
products.

Selection System,

Controversy Is Laid to
Discomfort of Those

All was quiet on the Marine Corps
front today as both sides prepared for
major engagement in the United

"It's new system in the Marine
Corps. Navy has had it for years.
We've gone through two wars, large
induction of officers at each time, some
have to be passed over, can't promote
everybody. Naturally, some of those
not selected can't take it on the chin.
There are few of those, even, but
they're making a loud noise" he said.
Reformation Long Overdue.
"This creates steady flow of pro-
motions. It's a reformation of the
corps, long overdue I'm the reformer.
All reformers have to stand the gaff.
There's no reign Of terror. Abso-

the surrender of the waterworks and
stated that, If it was not surrendered,

HIGH SOVIET POST
Subway Builder Succeeds
Andrieff as CommiSsar
of Railroads.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, March 1.-Lazar Ka-
ganovich, builder of Moscow's new
subway, was made peoples commissar
for railroad transport last night, re-
placing Audrey A. Andrieff, who has
been commissar since 1881.
The post, which gives Kaganovich
ranking equivalent to that of cabinet
members in other countries, was as
signed him by the Central Executive
Committee of the U 8. S. r.. which
announced it had decided to grant
Andrieff's request that he be relieved
of the job.
Kaganovich is one of the most pop
ular figures in the Soviet today rs
the result of the completion of the
subway, which soon will be open to
the public. Coincident with his des-
1gnation as railroad commiSSar, he
gave up his former duties as chairman
of the party control body in the Com
munist party's Central Committee
and as secretary of the Moscow Com
mittee of the party.
The retiring commissar recently
was taken severely to task by Klement
VoroShilof, commiSSar of war, for
alleged shortcomings in the railroad
service. Several reprimands also had
been given railway officials recently
for alleged negligence and investiga-
tlons ordered into numerous wrecks

works to the American forces and the
entire population of Vera Cruz. Gen.
Funston expressed his entire satisfac-
ton with the manner in which Russell
handled the situation"
Senator Blacks version, which he
told the Senate was related by Gen.
Smedley Butler under oath, was to the
effect that the Mexican bearing the
flag Of truce was conducting a one
man engagement and that he nearly
succeeded in capturing the whole Ma
rine detachment without aid.

FORMER STATE
OFFICIAL IS
NEAR SUICIDE
Cuts Throat And Wrists In His
Room In A Wilmington
Hotel
I'LL HEALTH REPORTED
AS CAUSE OF ACT

Harrison w. Vickers, Esq, of Ches-
tertown, Md, known officially as ex-
chairman of the State Conservation
Commission; and to few, personally,
in Pocomoke, attempted, on Wednes-
day to end his life by slashing his
throat and wrists. At the time he
was in a hotel in Wilmington, Del.
Mr.. Vickers left home the day pre-
ceding with Sheriff of Kent County,
John N. Bennett and was driven from
Chestertown to Newark, Del, express
ing the intention Of going on to Bal
timore. He evidently changed his
mind and went to Wilmington. At
the hospital where he was taken, his
condition was described as critical but
it was said he had rallied somewhat
later.
Henry Shelter, assistant manager
of the hotel at which Vickers was
staying, said the attorneys plight was
discovered by telephone operator
who noticed the receiver of his phone
was off its hook but could get no ans
wer.
Shelter said he went to Vickers'
room but could get no response to re-
peated knocks and entered with his
pass key. Vickers, he said, lay on
the floor in pool of blood. A police
ambulance took the lawyer to the hos
pital.
Apparently, Vickers staggered from
the bathroom after the slashing and
knocked the telephone to the floor af-
ter humping into table on which the
instrument was placed.
Detectives assigned to investigate
the case said the Marylander evidently
had cut himself. They asserted they
also believed he had taken or attempt
ed to take poison.
Authorities said they learned Wick
ers recently spent several weeks at
Atlantic City for his health.
Friends of the former conservation
commissioner said he had been in i'll
health as a result of overwork. He
carries on private law practice and
is counsel for local bank in addition
to his duties with the county COM
missioners.
Vickers was appointed Conservation
Commissioner in 1920 by former Gov
ernor Albert C. Richie. During his
term of office, Vickers expressed him
self strongly in favor of the theory
that oyster shell planting and state
control are the salvation of the oyster
industry.

GROWERS ARE
WARNED OF
SPUD BLIGHT
Special Watch Should Be Kept
OF Fields At This Time
OF Year
TUBERS TO BE REMOVED
BEFORE VINES WILT

Potato growers of Maryland are
warned to keep close watch for wilt
and late blight in their potato fields
at this time of the year, according to
DR.. Robert A. Jehle, plant pathologist
for the University Extension Service.
Development Of these two diseases has
already started in certain sections OF
Western Maryland and he urges that
precautionary methods be started at
once.
Bordeaux, 4-4-5O, sprayed on the po-
tato vines at weekly intervals is the
best method of control for blight, &C.
cording to DR.. Jehle. This disease
may be recognized by the dark, irreg-
ular, water-soaked areas which form
on the leaves and stems. The leaves
later dry up and become parchment
like in appearance. In the tubers the
diseases produces a dry rot which be-
comes wet rot after the potatoes
have been placed in storage.
Roguing out the diagnosed tubers
before the vines die has been found
the best method for controlling wilt.
This disease begins with drying and
browning between the veins Of the
leaf, followed by drying up of the
entire leaf. Still another form Of wilt
causes rolling and purpling of the
upper leaves. All plants affected with
wilt, according to DR.. Jehle, produce
potatoes with black or dark brown
streaks in the flesh.
Sending these diseased and discol-
cred potatoes to market with the good
ones will ruin the reputation of any
grower or community. hence the i'm
portance Of roguing, according to DR..
Jehle. Roguing must be done early,
however, and before the vines die. If
this work is left until after the vines
die, the only way that the diseased
potatoes can be distinguished from the
healthy ones is by cutting into the
flesh. IF the diseased potatoes are
dug out of the field before the discol-
grafton becomes too great they often
may be sold for sufficient to cover the
cost of roguing.
For further information regarding
roguing or spraying write DR.. Jehle
at College Park or the County Agent.
