Warsaw, Poland, April l.-(R>-
Firm opposition to any attempt to
link Poland into the proposed eastern
security pact seemed certain Mon

Eden when he arrives here Monday
night for his discussions with Marshal
Joseph Pilsudski. the Polish dictator.
Hostility to the projected eastern
pact, which Russia favors and Ger
many opposes, is frequently voiced
in semi-official circles on the grounds
it might possibly result in Poland be-
coming = battlefield for the other
powers.

Competent quarters explained that
these matters are secondary to the
Polish wish for peace, "as : purely

All Dressed Up
When the company arrives they
will be dressed in their new sheer
white batiste birthday dresses. Pin
tucked and lace-bordered and ex-

white organdie bonnets.
Perhaps they will wear their
new neckties, which the Guild

Ethiops. Solomon flourished in the
Rome was not even collection
Of mud huts. ...
Even today the story of Ethio-
pia has not been worked out COM
pletely, but roughly 1t goes some
thing like this:. Far back in time
the land was conquered by the
Egyptians, became one of their
provinces and paid an annual trib-
ute Of oxen, gold, ivory, hides and
slaves to the Pharaohs. In the
eleventh century B. G. the Eth
opfans successfully revolted,
achieved their freedom and in the
eighth century actually for a time
held Egypt as conquered land.
The Egyptians later were freed,
but Ethiopia remained independ-
ent thereafter. In Biblical times,
when Jerusalem was taken and
the Jews led into captivity, many
Of them escaped and settled In
Ethiopia. .
Moslems Isolate Ethiopia
With the rise of the Moslems
in Arabia and their sweep through
the Near East, Ethiopia was cut
Off from the world for a thousand
years. The great historian Glib
bon said the people of that land
were forgetful Of the world by
whom they were forgotten.
The country reappeared in ac-
tual history only in the 10th CEN
fury Of our era when Portuguese
explorers reached It. At times
Portuguese kings sent troops to
help the people of Ethiopia repel
Moslem invaders. The history Of
the country was confused and
contradictory chronicle of the
struggles Of the rulers of the vari-
Gus provinces to become top dog.
| Chief OF these provinces were
Tigre in the north, Amhar in the
center. Gojam in the northwest
and Shoa in the south. Leader
ship usually fell to the ruler of
Amhar, who had the stoutest war;
riors, and he became Negusa Ma
gart--King Of Kings.
In modern times the first note
worthy figure was Theodore the
Third, born in 1913, who, starting
out as son Of small chief, made
himself emperor. He made the
mistake of imprisoning some Brit
ons. England sent an expedition
airy force under Sir Robert Napier,
who In 1867 captured and de-
stroyed Theodores stronghold
town Of Magdala and the emperor
killed himself.
Menelik III Was Greatest
The greatest king was ,Menelik
the Second, born in 1912. Son of
the King Of Shoa, he led trou-
bled life under Theodore who had
conquered his father. But upon
Theodore's death, Menelik had
