Prospects for AUerting
War IL, Europe Better
Mussolini Reported as Ready to Talk
Peace; Ethiopian Emperor Might
Also Be Persuaded

European nations are breathing
somewhat more easily this week as
Italy and England have reached
slightly more friendly terms and
Laval, the Premier of France, has
been given peace suggestions that
Italy has designated that she would
accept if the other nations would. Re-
ports also came in that Emperor
Halle Selassie, Ethiopian ruler, was
ready to talk peace, but this report
was said to be unauthenic since
Selassie had definitely said that he
would not consider peace as long as
Italian troops were on Ethiopian soil.
Italy is Continuing her war opera
tions in Ethiopia and Selassie has
personally bid farewell to his imperial
guard of 5000 warriors who left Mon
day for Dessye, city not far from
the front. The Emperor is reported to
have shed tears as he told his army
good bye and many of the warriors
wept with him.
In building a road through an Eth
opian jingle, 800 Italian workmen
were struck blind from the deadly
Duphobia cactus, the fungi of which
is capable of producing total blind
ness. 1t is thought that the Italians
were not aware of this or they would
have used precautions to prevent it.
Mussolini has been told by British
authority that the British fleet, con-
centration of which in Mediterran-
can has embittered Italians, does not
intend any individual threat to Italy.
That is to say, Britain will not act
alone against Italy, though she may
act under orders Of the League of
Nations in conjunction with other
nations.
Mussolini, on his part, is under
stood to have assured Sir Eric that
the Italian army in Libya is not there
for the purpose of invading Egypt.
Indeed, it was said in Italian Off
cial circles that there was ground for
belief that some British warships
would be withdrawn from the Medi-
terranean and that the Italian troops
in Libya would be pulled back.
AS result Of these conservations,
an Italian government spokesman ex-
pressed the hope that an European
war had been averted.

GLENDALE SPRINGS BOY
KILLED WITH, DYNAMITE CAPS
Clay Miller, 9-Year Old Son of Mr..
and Mrs. Kirby Miller Dies in
Wilkes Hospital

Clay Miller, 9-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Kirby Miller, was fatally
injured Sunday morning about ten
thirty o'clock when four dynamite
caps with which he was playing in
the front yard of his home exploded.
He died later at the Wilkes Hospital.
The child's left hand and forearm
was completely torn away and a hole
was blown in the lower abdomen. La
cerations and burns were made on
other parts of the body.
It is reported that the child's father
knew that he was playing with the
caps but that he thought there was no
danger from an explosion.
Clay was the only child of his be-
reaved parents.

Sp0rtU-ELkin Mail
Man Held Up on
Cherry Lane Road
Unknown Parties Relieve Uncle Sam
Representative of $500 and
Make Getaway

D. T. Mathis, Sparta-Elkin mail
carrier, was held up on the Cherry
Lane road near Kent Andrews home,
early Monday morning and robbed OF
a package of money amounting to a
few dollars over eight hundred.
Mathis said that the fog was very
heavy and that the first thing that he
saw out of the ordinary was car
parked directly across the road in
front of him. He drew up and three
men stepped from the car. They had
pistols and ordered him to get out OF
the mail truck. They then searched the
car, took the package with the money
in it and took his switch key, after
tearing loose some wires in the motor
The men then got in their own car
and left in the direction of Elkin.
Mathis saw the men and could iden-
tify the car, it is understood. Clues
are being followed.
1t is the general opinion that the
job was local one since no outsider
would have known about tina transfer
of the money which was enroute from
a sale held Saturday by one of the
Elkin merchants to the Bank OF
Sparta where it was to have been de.
posted.

HOOf Injury Mars
Cavalcade's Debut
Trainer Expects Champion
to Recover Quickly.
By United Press

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8.-Caval-
cade's debut at Santa Anita was
postponed by Trainer Bob Smith to-
day after the favorite for the $780,
600 Santa Anita Handicap injured
the frog in one of his hooves.
The ace of the Brookmeade Sta
bles was to have run in the $500
San Antonio Handicap tomorrow.
Smith said he was certain the in
jury would not prevent Cavalcade
from running later in the season nor
did he feel it would hurt the horses
chances in the rich handicap.
Cavalcade, leading money winner
last year with SILL will be re-
turned to training in short time,
Smith predicted. He had beer
rounding into shape rapidly prior
to the injury and recently respond
ed we'll in pracrtce run through
the mud.

Salary terms were not disclosed
by either the pitcher or the Cardinal
executive, but it is believed the fig
ure is somewhere between the 1900
listed in Deans original contract
and $4,000.
Rates Giants Fourth
"The contract is signed and we're
both satisfied" Dean and Breadon
announced after an unheralded
conference.
More conservative with his words,
Dizzy declared: ME and Paul will
win As games this year."
He said the Cardinals would win
the 1885 pennant by at least a five
game margin and pointed out that
they would get their Stiffest opposi-
ton from Pittsburgh. Dizzy be-
lieves the Chicago Cubs will wind
up the season in third place and
rates the Giants no better than
fourth.
Says He's in Shape
Sunburned from months in
Florida, the hurting ace said he was
a little underweight Q88 pounds !,
but when asked if his arm might
have suffered from the strain of
that pennant scramble last fall, the
seven-game World Series and an
exhibition tour at the close of the
season, he replied:
THAT arms okay. I tried it out
while I was in Florida. I'm in good
shape"
Dizzy is the twenty-fourth Cardi-
nal known to have signed a 1885
contract. Ten are still to be heard
from, including some of last years
stars.
