Adjournment, rather than dis
solution, of the assembly was re-
garded as a tactical victory for
Ahyssinia, since reconvocation Of
a dissolved assembly would take
three weeks, giving Italy more
time to act in Africa. Now the
ASSEMBLY is on call to vote, If the
occasion arises, on sanctions
against an aggresSor.
The committee of 13 instructed
the subcommittee to report Mon
day on the possibility of sending
the observers to Abyssinia.
The main committee will not
meet again until Thursday, when
it is expected that the portion Of
its draft report dealing with the
history. of peace efforts will be
ready.
Two weeks, however, are expect
ed to elapse before the full report,
which will amount to outlawing
of war by Italy or Ethiopia,
may be presented to the League
council.
Baron Pompeo AloiSi, who re-
fused to attend sessions of the
council where Ethiopian repre-
Sentatives were present, appeared
at today's council meetings on
questions related to Persia.
At the end of the council
meeting, the president, Enrique
Ruiz -Guinazu stressed that it, too
stood adjourned and not dis

ASMARA. ERITREA, Sept. 81
(10:45 p. M, via Rome) Hello,
everybody!
I had my first peep into Abys.
sinia today.
Premier Mussolini'S Son.in-law,
Count Galeazzo Ciano, flew a fel.
low correspondent and myself over
the Italian front line and reserve
positions far to the south Of here,
and from an altitude of II, 900 feet
gave us chance to see the rugged
mountainous regions of La Tigre
country, through which the River
March cuts a deep gorge like the
Colorado Canyon, to carve in rock
the present border line between
Italian Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Square Mile, 1 Cent
Two hundred thousand Italian
troops are resting within is kilo.
meters Of that line, and beyond it
are supposed to be the unnum.
bered fighting forces of Emperor
Halle Selassie.
It's the toughest looking coun.
try have ever seen, and you
couldn't sell it to me for a cent
a square mile. But forty million
Italians claim it, and are ready
to fight for it to complete what
they insist is their manifest
destiny and necessary to the Sc
curity of their country. It ap-
pears that the AbySsinians feel
the same way about real estate.
The flight came as an unex.
pected surprise to me.
Met Count in China
The invitation kind of took my
breath away. I have known
Count Ciano these three years. I
met him in China. I was around
Shanghai, where Count Ciano was
then stationed as Italian high
commissioner and president of the
International Council of Shang-
hal. 1 knew him as a diplomat,
but I didn't know how hot he
was as an aviator, and I like my
air pilots with plenty of expert
ence.
Clouds Over Ethiopia
I don't know who felt the more
desperate as we wedged our bodies
into the planes interior, which
was full of bomb racks and trap
doors, and no seats except two
abreast by the pilots controls.
With a 30-mile tail wind, Ciano
AS we shook hands and parted,
the bright sunlight rested on the
black and white skull and cross
bones on his left breast. The
eye sockets of the skull appeared
black and ominous, like the dark
clouds over Ethiopia.

R0NE'S PEACE
M0VEPLEASES
BR|T0NS
London Leaders Glad
II Duce Will Study
New Peace Plans

LONDON, Sept. % T.N.s)-
Premier Benito Mussolini's bid for
peace with Britain today was well
received in government circles,
where it was said Britain would
be willing to negotiate a settle
ment of the East African problem
outside the League of Nations in
the. event the League failed.
London noted a decidedly con.
ciliatory tone in the Italian cabi-
net communique and especially
welcomed the references to future
AngloItalian accord in Africa.
England, despite all her obliga-
tions to the League, undeniably
had been worried about II Duce's
aims in Africa, and had wondered
just how extensive they were,
fearing possible encroachment on
British holdings. Today's Rome
statement was welcomed as ex-
tremely reassuring.
Hope for Peace
Official comment was lacking
in view of the absence Of gov
ernment leaders from London for
the weekend, but authoritative
quarters took the view that Mus
solini's implication he was willing
to enter negotiations outside the
League gives renewed hope a
peaceful solution may be found.
For the present, Britain is un-
willing to agree to open three
power discussions, as she is con-
tinuing to place confidence in the
League of Nations, but if dead.
lock appears unbreakable at Ge-
neva, Britain would give consid-
GRAFTON to any other suggestions
offering possible peaceful solu-
ton of the dispute.
In accordance with this, diplo-
matte contacts are being main
tanned constantly so that no time
will be lost in the event this line
of procedure is resorted to.
Indications also we're seen in
the communique that Italy does
not intend to open her African
campaign Immediately. This is
based on the statement Italy will
remain in the League until ex-
treme action is taken against
Italy, obviously meaning sane
tions. Thus 10 days or so must
elapse at least, since it will be this
long before Geneva reaches a de-
ciSion.
Baldwin Absent
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
spent today at ChequerS, country
estate of Britain's prime ministers.
He is expected back in London to-
morrow to resume consultations
with his ministers and further ex-
anime the Italian position in rela-
ton to Geneva.
The Cabinet will meet Tuesday
or Wednesday, when Capt. An
thony Eden, British minister for
League of Nations affairs, will
make a full report on the Geneva
situation.
The British note to France re-
affirming support of the League
covenant in the maintenance of
European security will be made
public Monday morning.
The charge that FCemier Mus
solini distorted" the reasons un-
derlying Emperor Halle Selassie's
appeal to the League for a boun-
Diary commission was made by the
secretary of the Ethiopian lega-
ton, R. P. Zaphiro.

NEGUS FEEDS
TROOPS MORE
RAW MEAT
Only Gun So Far Fired
In War Calls Soldiers
to Banquet
BY H. r. KN1CKERBOCKER

Adds ABABA, Sept, %
G.N.S0.-The zero hour in the
1talo Ethiopian embroglio has
come and gone and the only firing
so far was a cannon early today
calling 10000 Ethiopian soldiers to
the place to consume 5000 bull
locks in the greatest raw meat
banquet of the year.
Today there is no Genealogical
season why Premier Mussolini
could not begin his campaign at
any time. The provinces are well
dried out.
But the Leagues 1atest action,
it is believed here, means another
delay of week or more, and
october 10 is now the popular
date.
It is recollected that Of all
Ethiopia's wars, only Napier's
campaign began in October, while
the two previous Italian cam
paigns, in 1887 and 1895, began
in January.
A new conception of probable
tactics of Italians was received
here with the suggestion they will
employ a fleet of giant Capronis
and not only bomb Adds Ababa,
but land a force to seize and
hold the city.
It is pointed out that Capronis
carry "a men, and with only 100
planes could land 2,400 men daily
while airplanes could maintain a
steady supply of munitions and

WORCESTER, Mass, 0epI. 20
(IN.SD.-Squirming in agonlzed
embarrassment. perspiring, sniff
ling, and at times apparently on
the verge Of collapse, Newell
Paige Sherman, 26.year-old Sutton
Boy Scout leader. was trapped in
a confusing MARI of contradic'
tions at his trial for the murder
of his wife, Alice, today.
Under a laShing croSS-examlna-
ton by Prosecutor Owen A.
Hoban, the fair-haired choir
singer admitted he had lied to
policce, and contradicted himself
on the witness stand in his stories
about the American tragedy"
drowning Of his wife In Lake
Singletary.
He admitted he had lied about
breaking off his love affair with
18-year-old Esther Magill, who, the
commonwealth charges, he hoped
to marry after getting rid of" his
wife, the mother of his two
babies.
Sherman told police, when ques-
toned the day after the tragedy,
that the drowning followed the
accidental upset of their canoe.
His wife could not swim.
Ashamed of Self
She sank. while he swan 100
feet to shore with the canoe. He
admitted he told conflicting YER

first was that was ashamed OF
myself.

safety of my Boy Scouts, and
was afraid their parents would
not trust me after they found
out / had struck out for shore
without my wife after removing
my shoes and pants"
Admitted Affair
The Sutton choir singer had ad'
mited carrying ON a love affair
with buxom Miss Magill, Of Pur-
Ratory Road, Whitinsville. But he
said it was all over months before
his wife's death. He said he called
it quits after his wife agreed to
let him keep company" with Miss
Magill for six weeks-up to his
twenty-sixth birthday, April 26, to
see if he really loved her.
At the end of the six weeks, he
said, he went to Miss Magill and
told her it was all off. At the
time of his wife's death he had
once more become the devoted
husband, he declared. He told Of
a love tryst with his wife on the
very night of the fatal canoe ride.
But the hulking, 223-pound de-
fendant, who began his testimony
airily, almost broke down when he
told what happened As minutes

The Bill of Rights is of supreme Importance to
every man, woman and child in the United States.
It touches their daily lives and is THE GUAR
ANTEE THAT so LONG AS THE CONSTITU-
TION IS SUSTAINED, NO DICTATOR BY
WHATEVER NAME, CAN REDUCE THEM TO
THE STATUS OF CHATTELS OF THE STATE
AS HAS BEEN DONE IN so MANY LANDS.
The very first amendment guarantees THE
RIGHT OF EVERY MAN TO WORSHIP GOD IN
ACCORDANCE WITH HIS OWN CON-
SCIENCE.
Each and every one of you enjoys the right to
join whatever church you see fit or no church, by
virtue of that provision of the Constitution.
AS we review the history of the world, and recall
the innumerable millions of innocent people who
have been slaughtered in the name of an all just
and merciful God, does it not prompt us to give
fervent thanks that the founders of this nation
preserved us from such horrors?
Yet in this enlightened day and age, we see in
other lands reversion to fanaticism and tyranny.

NEVER TO ENACT ANY LAW DEPRIVING

serious effort to prevent his East
African plans from resulting in
a general European war.
II Duce stated that while the
League was debating the East
African crisis, E thiopia was
strengthening her positions and
preparing for an attack on Ital-
ian borders. AS a result, said II
Duce, Italy has notably" in
creased the departure of Italian
divisions during the past few
days.
Issuance Of the five-page COM
munique followed a session of the
italian cabinet, which was ad-
dressed by II Duce.
Critical of League
II Duce's assurance to the
League Council that he would not
withdraw from it came. however,
only after he had blamed it as
being solely responsible for the
serious European repercussions
which grew out of the 1talo-
Ethiopian crisis during the last
few weeks. The communique said:
'Italy will not leave the
League until the day in which
the League itself assumes full
responsibility for measures
which strike against Italy.
"The Fascist Government de-
clares in the most solemn man.
ner it will avoid any action
which may extend the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict into wider
field"
The communique added:
"The council of ministers re-
iterated its policy that Italy has
no immediate or remote aims
which may injure the interests
Of Britain.
BRITISH ADVISED
"The Italian government has
communicated to the British
government its readiness to ne
g0tiate a subsequent agreement
which may harmonic with the
legitimate interests Of Britain in
Central Africa"
II Duce, in fact, held out an
olive branch to England. The
communique said:
"The English government
since the 29th of January has
been repeatedly informed in the
most judicial and loyal manner
of the purely colonial Objectives
of Italian policy and Of the in
terests which guide it-interests
recognized in bilateral accOrdS

IS TRAPPED ON STORIES OF WFES DROW
YOUR CONSTITUTION
A Series of Short, Clear and Illuminating Articles
On the Constitution of the United States
BY JOHN FRANCIS NEYLAN
ARTICLE SIX
ARTICLE SIX

The sixth article provides for the assumption of
the Revolutionary War debts by the new govern
ment.
It also proclaims that "the Constitution and the
laws of the United States which shall be made in
pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which
shall be made under the authority of the United
States shall be the supreme law of the land"
Additionally, it lays down the requirement that
all officers of the United States and of the States
shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support
the Constitution and expressly provides that no
religious test shall ever be required as qualifca-
ton for any office under the United States
The seventh article merely provided that the ratl-
fication by nine States should make the Constitu-
tion binding between them.
These seven articles deal with the government as
such. They provide the form, the powers and the
general outline of principles and were the entire
Constitution as originally drawn and adopted.
The passionate hostility, however, of the Amerl-
can people to any unnecessary infringement of the
rights of the States of the individual citizen was
such that the very first Congress which met
draughted and submitted to the States for ratifica
tion the Bill of Rights, which is embodied in the
first 10 amendments
