tempts of foreign powers, chiefly
Great Britain, to swerve italy in
her African policy are regarded
by Italy as nothing more than
the rawlings of a ridiculous ninny,"
Premier Benito MuSsolini declared
today.
While Premier Mussolini thus
addressed a crowd Of his uni
formed Black Shirts at sassari,
in Sardinia, italy was stirred by
dispatches from Africa reporting
an address by Emperor Halle Sc
laisse of Abyssinia in which he
in turn -defied II Duce.
AS Premier Mussolini' repeated
his defiance of British and other
efforts to make him alter his
course despite a weekend address
by the British Prime Minister,
Stanley Baldwin; attacking the
methods of dictatorS, the report
of the Halle SelaiSse speech was
circulated widely in Italy.
Halle Selaisse was quoted as
saying to MuSsulman chiefs on
a recent visit to Ogaden province:
II am the only emperor Of
Africa. / am the chief Of all
Negroes, including those now
under foreign domination. The
whites are fighting our own as
well as your religion.

100000 Mobiles
Stream Into
Capital

So many thousands of Mobiles
were pouring into Washington for
the Shrine convention today that
it was impossible to count them.
Estimates ran all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 registrations at
noon. These were in addition to
the wives and other visitors
brought by the Shriners to the
siXty-first annual conclave. It
was believed that the estimated
figure of 100000 visitors for the
convention would be surpassed by
the end Of the day, as the red
hated Nobility literally took over
the city.
In the downtown section music
filled the air, as bands trooped
up and down Pennsylvania Ave
nue. and serenaded public build
ings, accompanied by the gaily
colorful marching units. The
Oriental band of Medinah Tenn
pie, Chicago, won much applause
as it marched up the Avenue
with muSettes giving forth reedy
tones and drums booming a
rhythmic chant. 30

Sixteen. drivers were arrested

BILE if a single cab attempts to

a conclusion satisfactory to all
so that the strike might be
ended as soon as possible.

need a retainer of 5000 if he was
to kill her husband.
AS Boland went on trial, Mrs.
Lyddane, her husband, her father,

Two Great Americans

Of very few human beings has it ever been pos
s1ble to say truthfully that the whole world felt
sense OF personal loss when they passed on. That
however, seems to us to be true in regard to the tragic
death Of Will Rogers In onlya slightly lesser degree
it is also true Of his companion, Wiley Post Both men
had won worldwide acclaim for their accomplish
ments in their respective fields but Will Rogers had
Won more than that. He had, to degree seldom
achieved by men in their lifetime the warm hearted
affection of public which can only be counted in
millions.
Both Of the men who perished when their airplane
crashed the northern edge of Alaska were typical
Americans. Wiley Posts feat Of circling the earth
twice by plane, once flying around the globe alone
will stand for all time the greatest feat of this
one-eyed Oklahoma oildriller who turned out to be
one Of the real wizards of aviation And Will Rogers
what can be said Of the Oklahoma cowboy whose
genial homespun wit and shrewd observations on men
and affairs made him the friend of kings and am
bassadors and the always-Welcome guest Of presi-
dents? Add to that his universal popularity as one of
the real stars of the SCREEN whose simple humor and
folksy' ways delight to everybody and his
amazing success as journalistic and radio com
mentatOr public AFFAIRS and you have acombination
Of talents for which find no parallel in modern
tines
Will Rogers was proud Of his strain of Indian
English pioneer stock He was real American whose
boast it frequently was that though his ancestors did
not come over on the Mayflower, some of them "net
the boat.
The world is distinctly the poorer by the loss of
these two great examples Of the American character
and the American spirit of adventure.

Lee Died A "Prisoner"

1t may not be generally known that General Rob
ert E. Lee was technically prisoner of war at the
time of his death in 1870 but such is the case, ac
cording to writer in the Pathfinder.
After Lees surrender to Grant at Appomattox on
April g. 1866, he released on parole. President
Johnsons amnesty proclamation issued the following
month did not include Confederate officers above the
rank Of colonel or any who had been educated at West
Point or who had resigned from the United States
army to join the Confederacy, so Lee was ineligible
for amnesty on all three counts.
johnson provided, however, that those in the ex-
cepted classes would have their applications for par
don considered and Lee made application according
2y but his request was entirely ignored by the Pres
dent. The terms of Lees parole were respected how
EVER, and he was never moested, although he was
never restored to citizenship
AS is we'll known after the war General Lee ac-
cepted the presidency Of Washington College at Lex
ington, Va, and rename in that office until he died
when the of the institution was changed to
Washington and Lee. But at h5 time of his death he
still paroled prisoner of war, deprived of his
civil rights.
