Word was received here today
of the marriage in Belfast, Me-,

toned at the War Department,
and Miss Anna Cooke, %, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard de

The bride is the sister of Jane

now in the courts.
The Rev. William F. Skerrye,
pastor of the Federated Belfast

AMERICAN, BRITISH
INTERESTS LEASE
HALF OF ETHIOPIA
SeIassie Will Draw
$5,OOO,OOO at Once
to Finance War

Adds ABABA, Aug. 81 QN.S)
Far from hoping the concessions
granted to British and American
interests will prevent war with
Italy, Ethiopia plans to use the
first funds received for purchase
Of war materials, International
News Service learned tonight.
The concessions, it was under
stood, call for payment to Ethio-
pia of between fifty and sixty mil
ion dollars. OF this amount, 10
per cent is TO be advanced to the
government for purchase Of mill
tary supplies.
Under the terms Of the contract,
exploration and exploitation of
the huge area included in the con-
cessions will begin within year.
An Immense Coup
Semiofficial statements here in
sisted the contract was signed for
political reasons only" but no
sanguine hopes were expressed it
would serve to avert war.
National City Bank of New York
and the Standard Oil Company
have staged, it is believed, one of
the most immense coups in COM
mercial history by acquiring the
75-year concession for exploitation
of all oil resources in eastern
Ethiopia.
The deal was negotiated secret
ly in a dramatic visit by Francis
M. Rickett. prominent London
promoter, who had left the Coun-
try before the huge concession
was announced.
Most of the funds are expected
to be raised in Britain, indicating
the possibility the American bank
merely acted as agent.
The immense grant embraces
practically all of Ethiopia east
of a line drawn roughly from
Lake Rudolph. on the southwest,
across the central plateau north
through the city of Awash, which
is east of Adds Ababa. and on
to the borders of Italy's Eritrea.
ScOrned by Duce
The section south of Harrar,
one of the key cities in Ethiopia's
defense plans against Italy, Is
said to contain rich oil deposits
rivaling those of Mesopotamia.
This area was offered to Italy
by Britain in an effort peaceably
to settle the Italo-Ethiopian dis
pute, but Premier MuSsolini
scorned the offer, terming the
province, Ogaden, a "dry waste
land"
Ricketts, sudden entry into
Adds Ababa August 81 immedi-
ately branded him as a mystery
man" and that role he played
until he departed with equal sud-
denneSs for London yesterday.
Negotiate In Secret
One report said the English
promoter was bringing money for
airplanes to Emperor Halle Selas-
sic. Another said he represented
the International Red Cross.
But. working swiftly and quietly,
Rickett opened immediate negotia-
tions with the Emperor and his
financial advisors in the old
Palace of Gebbi.
Conversations were pushed night
and day for nine days, all pro-
posals Of the Anglo-American in
terests being translated into
Amharic script for the Emperor's
consideration.
Finally Halle SelasSie decided
on a firm step that he hoped
would win more active American
and British interest in Ethiopia's
plight. His action was as quick
as his decision.
He sent a messenger to rouse
Rickett from bed at o'clock in
the morning.
