LEAGUE IN DESPAIR
ON AFRICAN PEACE.
ut Looks Like Beginning, y
Official Says on News
of Mobilization.
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, October Gloom bor-
dering on despair seized the League
OF Nations headquarters today. Al
most simultaneously with a protest
of Emperor Halle Selassie against an
alleged Italian invasion of Ethiopia
news came rom Rome that the Italians
were beginning their mass mobiliza-
ton to demonstrate their national
solidarity.
1T looks like the beginning" COM
mented one League official. He pointed
out that the present uncertainty was
likely to remain until after Mussolini
had spoken cat 1890 pm. Eastern
standard time), but little hope pre-
vailed that he would say anything to
refute the general belief here that he
is determined to go ahead.
Council May Convene.
If it is confirmed that Italian
troops actually have invaded Eth
iopia, the Associated Press was in
formed. it is likely that the Council
Committee of Thirteen in its meet
ing tomorrow will call an immediate
meeting of the Council itself.
The partially completed historical
narrative of the Ethiopian de-
velopmentS and the committees
recommendations would then be
brushed into a corner and the Coun-
Gil would proceed to the more i'm
portant task of determining the
identity of the agressor.

officials of the League were report
ed speculating as to whether-in the
event sanctions were taken against
Italy under the covenant-Great
Britain would request France to join
in an air blockade of Italy.
At the same time, italian sources
concerned with the possibility that the
Suez Canal might be closed to Italian
use, said that such action would be
the most serious sanction which the
League could take against Italy, since
1t would cut off the Italian armies in
East Africa from direct contact with
their homeland.
These sources said such step would
be regarded by Italy as intolerable.
League Continues Study.
The League circles in which talk oi
an air blockade was reported con-
tinued their study of the consultation
between Great Britain and France
over the question of collaboration be-
tween those two countries in the event
OF hostilities affecting either one.
Authoritative sources said they saw
increasing difficulties toward making
an economic boycott effective as a
measure of restraint because of the
attitude of states outside the League
such as Japan, the United States and
Brazil-and because of the reaction OF
smaller League members, particularly
Switzerland and Austria, neighbors OF
Italy.
Further complications in the prob
lem of sanctions were seen as it was
learned from various Southeastern
European capitals that some system of
trade compensation must be devised to
balance the losses that would be Suf-
fered by the smaller countries joining
any prospective economic boycott
against Italy.

PARIS, October 2.-The flight of
gold from Europe continued today as
anxiety over the Italo-Ethiopian con-
f1ict was heightened by reports that
the African empire had been invaded
by Italian troops.
The new shipments to the United
States include one of 100000 francs

Financial circles reported that the
Normandie, reaching America next
Monday. also will carry a large
amount. They estimated that S70,-
100000 worth of gold has left France
since September !.
Bankers Discount Movement.
Bankers, however, described the
situation as mot alarming" Even
without the threat of an Ethiopian
war, they explained, there are, be-
sides the anxiety over the Memel elec-
tions, normal reasons" for gold move
mentS.
European investors said they have
found the New York securities mar
ket profitable. Other explanations of
the heavy shipments were that they
are seasonal and in some cases at
tributable to the monetary and eco
nomic uncertainty in gold bloc coun-
tries.
Issues Drop on Bourse.

Business came to a standstill.
This was the anniversary Of the
plebiscite of 1870 which decided on
the union of provinces into the close
knit Kingdom Of Italy.
Achille Starace, the Fascist party's
secretary general, issued the official
call to the general mobilization-the
unexpected "adunata"-over the
Rome radio at 800 pm. (9:20 am,
Eastern standard time), just 10 min
utes before the signal for general
mobilization was given.
He gave the population two hours
to reach their places, where they were
to hear II Duce speak to them.
Bands Appear in Streets.
Bands suddenly appeared in the
streets, playing "Giovinezza," the
Fascist national anthem, and crowds
going to their places of assembly took
up the tune.
Flags were unfurled from buildings
throughout the country. Other BAN
ners appeared in the streets, waved by
women at their departing menfolk.
During a two-hour interval the
Fascist party arranged for nation
wide radio hookup covering 1923
cities, towns and villages.
The call for "Adunata" caught most
people off guard. There had been
many rumors it was imminent. but
even today the government again de-
MED it would be for today. 1t was
stated, when the denial was made, "it

Cessation of the rain in the after
noon brought the decision for the
mobilization. 1t had always been in

the people and test their alertness.
When the signal came millions of
men left their work, often in the midst

POLICE AND POLITICIANS

THE United States leads the world in anti-crime
l. facilities but is lacking in coordination and
has far more crimes and criminals than comparable
European countries.
Atty. Gen. Homer S Cummings, just back from
Europe said he had dedicated himself to leaving in
the Justice Department a permanent contribution
toward law enforcement, in the form of bureau of
crime prevention. which he hopes will remove the
counuys claim to pre- -eminence in wrongdoing.
In England and Wales together he found that
all types of public prisoners number only II 900: in
France there are 10000. and in Belgium 1000. In
the United States the number, including Federal
state and county prisoners, is 100000 Allowing for
differences in population the American prisoners
number more than twice those of the other coun-
tries.
But there are eXtenuating circumstances Many
ofenses are legal crimes in the United States and
not in Europe Further, the great number of
automobiles in the United States has produced list

patients who came to him in advanced stages of the

never have heard his name. But she had heard or
read his warnings telling the danger signals of cancer

she had needed his advice to seek medical aid at

DR.. Boodgood, of course, was not the only cancer
expert to issue such warnings but he was one of the
first to cooperate with newspapers and magazines in
giving this information publicity and he was one of
the most persistent in his efforts to educate the pub
lie and the physicians
His activities led to the establishment of an an
nual short course in cancer diagnosis for physicians
and pathologsts. Medical scientists from all over

REFLECTIONS ON
BANK NIGHTS

BY Reader
1t was a public-minded printer
who exposed the alleged fraud in
the bank night drawings at the
Rivoli Theater several days ago.
Those who intend to perpetrate a
fraud will be just little more care
full the next time. 1t can be done,
and the public can be taken in
again as easily as not.
In all such lotteries there are
gamblers who must always try Lady
Luck'S disposition; there are always
sponsors Of the game who possess a
keen appreciation of the chance
taking instinct of the public, and
lastly there are always persons
tempted to crime.
These three factors always caused
