FASCIST leaders Of Italy. doubtless

L>ASCIST leaders or Italy, doubtless
including Mussolini himself, are of
the opinion that the Italo- Ethiopian ar
filtration commission will not be able
to settle peacefully the dispute be-
tween the two nations. Therefore the
Rome government is making all prep
aratiOns for war, one Of its most re-
cent steps being decree calling in all
silver money from circulation. Thus
silver becomes to a large degree the
property of the government. Its ex-
port in any form had been previously
prohibited.
The expeditionary force in Africa
will number about 225,O00 men by fall,
and since silver is rising in the world
market the government may realize
considerable profit.
Nearly a million men have been
called to arms by II Duce, and depar-
lures of troops and munitions to At
RIGA are being speeded up. The ar
bitratiOn commission, one of whose
members is an American, Benjamin
Pitman Potter, named by Ethiopia,
doesn't seem to be getting anywhere
with its negotiations.
DRESIDENT CARDENAS Of Mexico
L appeared to have come victorious
out of a crisis that was precipitated by
Plutarco Elias Gales, who was OPP
posing Cardenas' economic policies.
The young president forced his entire
cabinet to resign and formed another
that would support him whOlehearted-
ly. He has back of him the workers,
most of the politicians and probably
the army.
The Mexican City Catholics, who are
pretty much suppressed, took advan-
tage Of the presence in the capital of
thousands of Rotarians attending their
international convention, and held a
monster parade with speeches calling
for religious liberty.
Japan is moving swiftly to obtain
- the control over north China which
evidently is her main objective at pres
ent. New demands were presented to
the Chinese government at Marking,
and when some of these were declared
unacceptable the Japanese troops and
officials began moving into Peiping and
Tientsin and all the area between the
Great Wall and the Yellow river. The
Chinese officials, being helpless, moved
out and the branches of the Kuomin-
tang or Peoples party were closed.
The central council in Marking, though
accepting some of the Japanese de-
mands, could see nothing but trouble
ahead and instructed Gen. Ho Ying-
ching, the war minister, to prepare
for eventualities.
WARFARE between Paraguay and
w Bolivia in the Gran Chaco, which
has been going on for three years,
came to an end after representatives
of the two nations signed an armistice
agreement in Buenos Aires. The truce
was the result of conferences between
representatives of Paraguay, Bolivia
and six neutral nations-the United
States, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile,
and Uruguay. An attempt will now be
made to settle the disputes by direct
negotiations. If these fail the World
court at The Hague will be called on
to render judgment. The war in the
jungle has cost about 100000 lives.
THE British government, it is be-
L lieved, has accepted in principle
the German demand for restoration Of
the German navy up to 80 per cent OF
the British strength. This Is exceed
ingly Irritating to France, and Premier
Laval is likely to send note to all
signatories to the Washington treaty
protesting against the revision of the
multilateral treaties by bilateral agree
ments, and proposing new ma
val conference, including Germany this
time, to revise the Washington and
London ratios all around.
D EINSDORF, German town 81
~ miles southwest of Berlin, was
virtually destroyed by the blowing up
of great munitions plant and the en-
suing fires. Because of rigid censor
ship it was impossible to learn the
number of casualties. Nazi officials
admitted there were 80 dead, 20 in
jured seriously and 300 slightly hurt.
VIIASHINGTON swarmed with
w Shriners for week, and they
enjoyed themselves in their character
istic ways Leonard P. Steuart of
that city was advanced automatically
to the position of imperial potentate,
and A. G. Arvold of Fargo, N. D., was
given the coveted outer guard office,
first step toward the top. The con-
clave of 1886 will be held in Seattle,
opening July IA.
DAN-AMERICAN ANYWAYS big Clip
per ship made a second successful
flight to Honolulu, and continued
thence to Midway islands Capt. e. G.
Musick and his efficient crew encoun-
tered no difficulties on the long trip,
which was made in preparation for the
establishment of transpacific service.
Before starting home the plane made
a four-hour flight over Kure island and
beyond the international date line.
Observations were made of possible
landing places on the route to Wake
island, which will be the next station
west of Midway Islands.
CENATOR WILLIAM e BORAH
- may not be receptive candidate
for the Presidential nomination next
year, but anyhow his friends in Idaho
have grabbed his hat and thrown it
into the ring. They are organizing
"Borah-for-Preside clubs all over
