MORE TROOPS
Of ETHIOPIA
OFF To FIGHT
Nondescript Army Leaves Cap
ital Bound For Defense OF
Ogaden If Attacked
By EDWARD BEATTIE
United Press Staff Correspondent

Adds ABABA, Sept. 5. UD-A
nondescript Ethiopian "army" OF
600 men, including greybeards and
boys, armed with 20 different types
of weapons, entrained today for
Ogaden and possible death from
italian machine guns and poison
gas.
Grinning and salaaming, the war
riors piled themselves and their
arms into waiting box cars. Faith
ers and sons, husbands and wives
exchanged final embraces much as
better trained troops were doing in
italy as they left for Ethiopia.
Before the troop. trains moved
out of the station here the warrior
ichief Dajamatch Habte Mikael, a
veteran of Adowa where Ethiopians
slaughtered an Italian army 40
years ago, held impromptu court
to settle differences among his men,
Sitting on the station steps, he
listened to voluble testimony from
IOWIlSIllHIl dllQ oOllllClo, AlFOANCO al
8 hundred petty disputes.
May Halle Selassie die if lie"
was the oft-repeated oath taken by
Idisputants.
Women On Train
AS harassed railway officials fin
ally got the train away, $50 war
riorS were forced to remain stand
ing in the cars, so tightly were they
packed, and some had to keep theil
bundles of clothes and equipment
on their heads. Many women ac-
companied their husbands, bearing
tools and utensils. One had re-
volver strapped at her waist,
Nothing was seen of Mikaels re-
ported IL anti-aircraft guns. Many
spears and large quantities of cart
ridges, many of them bearing the
2O-year-old mark of Emperor Meme
lik II, were flung into the troop
train.
The men who will hold Ethiopia S
first line of defense are understood
to be on their way to the Ualual
district where the clash occurred
last December that precipitated the
dispute with Italy. BY the time
Mikael himself goes to Ogaden he
is expected to be in command of
10000 men, the majority of whom
will be picked up enroute.
Most of the troops leaving today
wore shammas, the long. toga-like
garment which is common dress in
Ethiopia. Only handful of the
soldiers wore uniforms.

WALKOUT DUE n

Delegation Emphasizes Inten-

LEAGUE LOSING IT'S GRIP
Indications Point To Inability
To Control Dispute And War
Appears Certain

GENEVA, Sept. 5. UR) - The
italian delegation walked out of the
league council room tonight, and
presumably out of the leagues jur-
isdiction in the Ethiopian dispute,
after CASTOR Jeze, representing
Ethiopia, had asked the council to
unmask Italy's sinister designs"
1t was emphasized that Italy was
not withdrawing from the council.
An Italian spokesman said the del
egation would return, adding:
THE delegation withdrew because
for the first time in the history of
the league, insulting language has
been used at the council table. Italy
could not permit such insults to
pass unchallenged."
The latest news indicated Italy
had refused to participate in league
action to settle the dispute under
article Is of the covenant, and that
Baron Pompeo Aloisi had said he
merely was willing to resume
there-power conference with Brit
ain and France outside Geneva.
The failure of the league to con-
troll the dispute, which has been
heralded as blow to civilization,
appeared actually to have occurred
tonight although several weeks of
maneuvering had hitherto been ex-
|pected.

MIAMI, Sept. 5. U,R)-The last
remaining passengers aboard the
grounded liner Dixie were removed
today, according to radio advices.
Rescue ships last night removed
Ito of the 1856 passengers, and 50
members of the crew, leaving 122
passengers and 81 crew aboard the
vessel overnight.
A motor launch of the salvage
tug Warbler came alongside the
Dixie shortly after dawn today and
removed 20 passengers.
Then two coast guard launches
carried off 81 more passengers.
At $3.50 a. m. the Morgan liner Ell
Occidente, joined in the task of
transferring the remaining passen-
gers.
The last passenger was taken
from the Dixie at $50 a. m. (EDT)
Capt. Einar Sundstrom reported.
The masters message said;
"All passengers and crew that
were to leave off $50 (EST)".
This was interpreted to mean
that all of the 286 passengers had
been taken off but a part of the
crew was kept aboard the Dixie for
maintenance.
Examination of the hull, resting
high on French Reef about Is miles
off the Florida coast, was to be
made shortly to determine the best
method of salvaging the vessel. The
Merritt Chapman-Scott salvage tug
Warbler, which aided in the rescue,
is equipped for that work.
The Dixie was blown aground
Monday night in a hurricane.

ain and France prepared today to
renew their offer for a compro-
mise on the Ethiopian dispute,
which Premier Benito Mussolini re-
jected when it was first offered at
the three power conference in Paris
last month.
The France-British offer, it was
understood, would be made the
basis for efforts of an Italian Eth
iopian Cancellation commission
which it was decided to establish
under league auspices.
The offer provides for "collab-
grafton" of the three powers, with
the consent of Ethiopia, to guide
that country's national life in al
most every field, including the
economic. The special interests
of Italy in Ethiopia would be- .>7en

MIAMI, Sept. 5. U.P) - Relief
workers picked their way today
through the highways piled with
debris into the hurricane stricken
Florida Keys in an attempt to get
an accurate check of casualties and
property damage.
Fifty bodies had been recovered
but rescue parties were unable to
penetrate beyond Snake Creek.
M. p Mooty, Dade county crimi-
nal court clerk, who surveyed the
Keys by boat, telegraphed Gov
Dave Sholtz that fatalities may
reach 1000"
The Red Cross, however, stood on
its earlier estimate that total loss
OF life would approximate 300 Pri-
Vate estimates were that the death
toll might be between 500 and $50.
MIAMI, Sept. 5.-Rescue parties
today penetrated into areas of the
hurricane devastated Florida Keys
completely isolated since raging
winds killed between 300 and 750
men, women, and children Monday
night.
They found bodies buried in sand
and mud, bodies smashed into up
rooted trees. all habitations wreck
ed, and similar devastation that
tended to confirm the highest es-
Inmates of the dead.
While the last of the approx
mate 300 injured, the survivors and
the recovered bodies were being
brought to Miami and Homestead,
26 miles south of Miami, the hur-
ricane that cut a path of death
sacross the Keys and one of de-
Struction up western Florida crossed
into Georgia, diminishing in veloci-

ANTI.SEDITION BILL
BACKED IN REPORT
Military Affairs Committee Fa.
vors Measure to Ban Incit-

Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Tydings- -McC Cormack "disaffec-
ton" bill was defended yesterday in a
majority report filed by Chairman Nc
Swain Of the House Military Affairs
Committee 1t said critics of the
measure opposed the legislation more
from opposition to safe and sane
program of national defense" than
from zeal for freedom of speech and
the press"
The bill would make it crime to
incite soldiers or sailors to disobedi-
ence. Critics here said it was aimed
at free expression of opinion.
"It must be carefully noted" Nc
Swain replied, that this legislation is
not addressed to propaganda circulat-
ing among the citizenry generally. It
Is addressed solely and exclusively to
sort of intellectual insulation
against disloyalty' of the men who
have specially contracted to be in
stantly prepared, in mind and in body,
for the defense of the Government of
the United States against its foes"
Since armed forces are necessary for
national defense, the report continued,
I'VE must punish those who deliber-
ately seek by subtle and sinister per-
suasion to undermine the loyalty and
sense of duty of our soldiers and
sailors"
