For the time being this is still a
dream-close to realization in Mus
solini's mind, somewhat doubtful in
the minds of those who know some
thing about Ethiopia, its mountains
and marshy jungles and the reckless
bravery of its inhabitants.
The developments at Geneva don't
seem to play much role in II Duce's
plans. Not that he is not worried
about what is happening in the capi-
tai of the League at present. But
he has gone too far for a dictator
to be able to reverse his policies.
Mussolini does not appear to be
much concerned about the threat of
sanctions. He is not much impressed
by the fact that the British think
that he is no longer a gentleman. :
He is the son OF blacksmith
and the ancestral hammers ring in
every accent he utters and in epery
stroke OF his action. -
The chances that Mussolini would
melt before the menace of sanctions
are about as great as the hope that
Hitler would soften toward the Jews
by presenting him with q Neyen-
branch candlestick.

The statement of Sir Samuel Hoare
that Great Britain would destroy the

not live up to the letter Of the COW

gust 14.-Four bears came to the pic

and Richard Roach-and only Roach'S
courage saved the girl from being

girl escaped.
The two are Summer employees at
the park. Roach is from Billings,
Mont; Miss Green from Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. They were boiling potatoes in
a pool near Old Faithful Geyser last
night when the bears intruded.
Roach shouted and three of the
bears retreated. The fourth struck
Roach to the ground and started after
the girl. Roach pursued the grizzly,
shouting. The animal turned and
mauled him. Then it numbered into
the forest.
