accept no retreat or compromise on
the course she has laid out in East

Laval, before making his historic
speech before the League of Nations,
had contacted Mussolini in Rome
What II Duce told him was not
particularly encouraging. Yes, he
would consider calling off his cam
paign against Abyssinia for the sake
of world peace on one condition: That
Italy should be given over Ethiopia

over Egypt.
That is to say that uhile the
Emperor may remain on the throne

entitled to control Ethiopid's eco-

Italy over Ethiopia is not only lln-
acceptable to Selassie. but is also
against the fundamental principles Of
the League of Nations. No country
which is not independent. nominally
at least, can be member Of the
League. And Ethiopia has been a
member since 1926.
But this is really only a technical
difficulty There are many things
which are impossible on paper be-
cause of the existing treaties and no.
body bothers about them.
Italy now has two courses open.
Either she ignores the League and
goes ahead with plans for the con-
quest of Ethiopia, or she gets out Of
the League and fights despite the
opposition Of the Society of Nations.

HARRAR, Ethiopia. September IA
Wehieb Pasha, Turkish hero OF the
Dardanelles during the World War and
now chief of staff of the Ethiopian
Army on the southern front, is conf
dent that Ethiopia can repel any in
vading Italian force in his sector.
"Mussolini is bluffing now, but it may
be that he will fight to save face
Wehieb Pasha told men. 1T would
require a half million men to attempt
to subdue Ethiopia, and even so it
would be impossible to provide food
and supplies for such force"
Conquest Hopeless"
Conquest of Ethiopia by armies
operating from Italian Somaliland is
impossible. The present forces there
are made up of 10000 Italians and
an equal number Of native troops. The
only advance an invading army could
make must follow the course of the
Webb Shebeli River, where Ethiopia's
defense line in the mountainous coun-
try between Dekmarodi and Kalanli
would prove to be another Verdun."
Wehieb PaSha, whose headquarters
IS at Jijiga, near Harrar, is organiz-
ing a mobile camel corps. In Turkey,
he said, the belief is prevalent that the
Moslems will desert the Italian forces
and join him. He spoke affection
ately of the valorous British fighters
at Gallipoli, but disparaged their
commanders and said he thought
Gouraud and Won Mackensen were the
best generals in the World War.
The Turkish general believes Ethio-
pia will prove to be Fascism's grave.
The Italians could capture Ualual
and similar frontier posts near Italian
Somaliland in a half hour" ne said,
but 1t would be useless because the in
vaders must advance up the Webb
Shebeli River. Ethiopia has nothing
to fear on either front and is ready for
war, except that it is lacking in sani-
tary corps"

Luther play first performed in Witten-
