Medical Men Divided.
Regarding the efficacy of blood
tests in determining parentege, a
difference of opinion is held by men,
bers Of the medical profession. From
legal standpoint, its results have
been given considerable weight in
courts of several European countries
and a New York State law now gives
judges of that State authority to
order such tests for purposes Of gath
ering evidence. This is the first in
stance Of the test being involved in
the District.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association terms the proposed
test effective in excluding, but not
in proving paternity. Thus, the pres
ent case might bear out denial OF
paternity. The Journal explains:
"If the mother belongs to group
A, the child to group B and the
supposed father to group A. the ac-
cused man could not be the father
of the child. since the child possesses
an agglutinogen B, which neither Of
the supposed parents has. On the
other hand, II the accused man is
found to belong to group B, this would
not prove him to be the father OF
the group B child, since IS per cent
Of all men belong to this group anc
there is a possibility of coincidence. >

Picked Spearmen Compel
Italian Retreat at One
Battle Front.

PARIS. october 10.-A series Of
savage attacks by spear-bearing war
riors on the northern Ethiopia front,
In which many Italians were reported
wounded and large numbers of Ethi-
opians killed, is described In dis
patches to the Paris Soir.
Fighting is general throughout the
sector, the newspaper was advised by
its correspondent, with 100000 troops
engaged in a quadrangle formed by
Adj Ugri and Adj Kaie, in Eritrea,
and Adigrat and Aksum, in Ethiopia.
The picked troops Of the Ethiopian
chief on the northern front, Ras
Seyoum, were pushed at the invading
Italians in a spectacular cavalry, ma
chine gun and bowling spear bearer
attack, said the account. The Italians
not only suffered heavy losses but
were forced to retreat.
For the most part, however, the in
vaders held their ground, the news
papers correspondent said.
Offense Follows Retreat.
The sudden offensive was reported
to have been planned after the army
OF the Ethiopian commander had
made a strategic retreat from Aduwa
The battle yesterday was reported
to have ragged all day around the
salients of Modiurgi, Adj Kaie, Adj
graf and Aksum.
The account described as most des-
perate the fighting on the outskirts
OF Aksum (now reported captured)
which was encircled by Italian troops
Ethiopian shaFpshooters In the hills
commanding the city were described
as pouring a heavy fire into Aksum,
delaying the Italian occupation of the
community.

Aduwa Assault Repulsed.
In another attack on Aduwa Tues.

ued, Ethiopians bent on retaking the
city we're thrown back with heavy
losses.
The number of italian wounded BE-
ing moved to the rear was described
as large.
The first of the attacks in the grand
offensive. which appeared to have been
Matched in the three days after the
retreat before Aduwa, occurred against
intrenched Italian forces guarding the
railway line between Assaus and Mas
saua. There more than $4,000 war
riors of the Emperor threw themselves
savagely against their enemy in an
effort to break the Italian defense
the Soir's correspondent related.
But the Ethiopians were reported tc
have paid dear price for the chance
to dislodge the invaders. The Ital-
ians were too well entrenched.
A column under RaS Seyoum made
the attack on Adigrat simultaneously
only to be hurled back by whitening

CHAPTER ELEVEN,


TOR beautiful Holly Barlow,
- granddaughter of that impor-
tant parsonage in Washington,
Il Annie Chenoweth Barlow, and
sometimes referred to as "the
most kissed girl in Tidewater Mary
land" Kimberley Cornish was en-
dangering his lifetime goal of becom-
ing Minister to Bonaventura. Kim, a
career man in the foreign service and
apparently as ambitious as his wife
Cynthia, had planned and plotted with
her during the whole six years of
their married life that some day he
might reach Bonaventura in his climb
up the ladder to power and prestige.
So sure had they been of their desti-
nation that plans had been drawn for
a palatial home on little island of
Cynthia'S off Orocaizo. Now, with the
goal in sight, Kim had grown mex
plicably liStless.
There must be a woman in the case,
Cynthia had surmised, but she was
not certain until the reception at the
Pan-American Union in honor of Sa-
vedra, plenipotentiary from Bonaven-
tura, who, with Gaynor and Simon
French of Yucca Oil, would influence
the appointment of Minister to his
country. Here, in the spotlighted
arena of Washington gossip, the signi-
f1cance of Kims appearance with
Holly Barlow dawned upon Cynthia
Holly was claiming Kim as her own
and Kim was willing to throw over
Cynthia and all chances for appoint
ment to the important post for the
sake of the girl Urged by Godfrey
Shannon, Cynthia'S cavalier back in
Athabaska long before he had become
its Senator, she determined to fight
Holly Barlow to the inish.
After the reception Cynthia joined
the Gaynor party for the Savedras at
the El Encanto. Bill Dysart, who
coveted the Bonaventura post for him.
self, was there; also Mardi Freer. who.
under the cover of the pseudonym of
Dixie Decatur" of the New York
World-Banner, was secretly working
for Dysart's appointment. Holly and
Kim joined them later. but when
Savedra offered to take him to French
which every one knew meant he was
to be given the Bonaventura appoint
ment-Kim fatty refused to desert
Holly, and left the El Encanto with
her.
