War Clouds Gather
AS Austria Moves
To Restore Throne

Paris. July Z. = A new threat
to European peace emerged eoday
in the apparent determination OF
Austria to restore the Hapsburg
Dynasty in the person of the eE-
lied Archduke Otto.
Both Yugoslavia and Czechoslo-
vakia have warned the continental
powers that "the return Of the
Hapsburgs means war" Both ma.
tons are prepared to mobilize as
soon as Otto and his court are per-
mitted to again assume the power
ind position they lost during tns
World War.
So grave is the situation that
even the critical Ethiopian affair
has been relegated to the back
ground. Italy has already mobil-
lied a strong force at the Bremen
Pass prepared at a seconds notice
70 defend Austria against Germany
Yugoslavia, Czechoslovalia or any
other power.

ETHIOPIA APPEALS
TO AMERICA FOR
HELP In DISPUTE.
The Emperor Declares
Peace, Aim of
Ethiopia

Adds ABABA, July A. With
the first attack by Italian troops
upon the Ethiopian people already
a fact, Emperor Halle Selassie
yesterday reiterated to the whole
world his country's desire for
peace.
He made an appeal to the Amer
lean govrnment to useI its influ-
ence to invoke and assure Italy's
observance of the kellogg Pact in
the Ethiopian and Italian dispute.
The kellogg pact pledges the sign
ers to settlement of Internal
ional disputes through arbitration.
Halle Selassie made an appeal
to the American masses for their
active sympathy and support in
the coming life and death struggle
for the Independence of the Negro
nation. He recalled the traditions
of independence, freedom and the
will to struggle for oppression, IL
herent in the entire history of the
masses of the United States.
"We are exceedingly touched by
the sympathy of the American
press and people and are happy
for the opportunity to express ou1
opinion" the Ethiopian king de-
clared in an interview.
Confident of Support
at seems that soon we shall be
obliged to suspend our activity fol
the economic and social develop
ment of our people, which has al
ready ben DISTRACTED by world de
preston, to turn all our energy
and resources to resist the will Of
Italy to destroy our independence
and seize by violence our territory
eve are confident that in oul
resistance the sympathetic supper
of the American pebple will b.
ours, for the American people ha
been one of the builders of tn
principles of the self-deternina
ton of nations, sanctity of treat
les and equality of states, whicl
principles are now menaced.
Ethiopia never has desired wa
nor desires war now, because wa
destroys progress" declared tn
king. "But in spite of our fir
resolution to avoid war, we shal
accomplish our duty in the eventu
atty of war;"

Wall Street government pro
tects Morgan Billions
In Italy

Washington, July 5. The
United States government today
declined to interfere in the Italian
Abyssinian controversy as reques
ted by Ethiopia, hoping that they
would keep peace.
Secretary of State, Cordell Hull
carefully lodged invocation of the
kellogg pact in his reply and stated
as an excuse that he noted the dis
pute els now in the course of ar
filtration" under an agency of the
League of Nations and hoped that
decision satisfactory to both of
the governments Immediately con-
cerned" would be found.
Government Evades Question
The governments reply to Eth
opia's appeal for aid to assure Ital-
US observance of the kellogg Pact
is a fine piece of lodging. The re-
ply reads:
I "My government, interested as II
is in the maintenance of peace II
all parts of the world, is gratifiec
that the League of Nations, with
a view to a peaceful settlement
has given its attention to the con-
/ troversy which has unhappily ari-
sen between your government anC

American Government
Evades Ethiopia's Ap-
peal for keIIog Pact

to both Of the governments immed-
lately concerned.
Furthermore, and of great i'm
portance, in view of the provisions
of the Pact of Paris, to which both
Italy and Abyssinia are parties, in
common with 81 other countries,
my government would be loathe to
believe that either of them would
resort to other than pacific means
as a method of dealing with this
controversy or would permit any
situation to arise which would be
inconsistent with the commitments
of the pact"
Tied by many threads of impe-
rialist investments to fascist Italy
and above all dominated complete
ly by the white chauvinism of Wall
Street, the policies of the United
States government, it was seen
here. could dictate none but neg
alive answer. The lure Of sinking
American capital into Ethiopia is
counter balanced by the factor of
advancing the bloody cause of Mu-
ssolini fascism.
The Wall Street government, no
matter how it may itch to exude
unctuous phrases about peace, in
order to win Ethiopian trade, oil
and other concessions, has to con-
slider first Morgan's and the other
bankers $1,OOO,OOO, 900 stake in the
continued existence of fascism in
Italy.
Americas action was received
with qualification in Rome. where
a war is anticipated. Unofficial
sources there said the United Sta
ties had prevented an embarrassing
situation.

Fire Starts in Relief Hay
But Is Quickly Extinguished

while the smell of rotten hay is
not sc easy to get rid OF.
When you travel thru other
Montana towns you see hay there
to, but nothing like Plentywood. In
these towns you will also notice
the hay has been nicely stacked
and properly protected for rain by
being topped off with loose hay,
while here the stacks are left open
and can absorb every drop of rain
that comes along, showing the alb
ility of men like L. S. Olson and
others in charge.
Out-Of-the-way Place
Just why Plentywood should be
made the dumping ground for this
hay racket is not so hard to IN
derstand. Somebody made good
money selling, buying and trans
porting the hay.
They knew we'll enough they woulc
not be able to sell it at the price
they were holding it at, so they
had to find some out-of-the-way
place to dump it in, away from thu
traffic. Furthermore, the railroad
would be able to make somethlnE
extra On account of the long haul
Had the hay been here IN time
and sold at reasonable prices, no
ton would have been left here t.
rot. AS it is, the big pile of ha.
is getting to be quite a problem
and disgrace to the administration
Had the fire department not beer

have been over with and the Four

Preliminary work begun for
Oiling of highway
Thru Plentywood
Oiling Highway Thru the City
Rv Hams Rasmussen

In the later part of last week
the preliminary work of oiling the
state highway within the city linn
its of Plentywood was started. The
contract having been let some time
ago by the highway commission.
The highway was built last year
with the understanding that the
Cling was to be done at a later
date. The road at that time was
supposed to be built accordingly.
Last year it made quite an i'm
preston on our local people when
the bunch of high-top-boots, i'm
portant looking state highway men
invaded our city. The way they
were looking thru complicated
looking Instruments, making mys-
tic signs, putting little red flags
here and wooden stakes there, pro-
we'd to the rest of US that here was
bunch Of men who knew their
"onions." 1t was the States doings
and when the road was completed
the road was just what a road
should be. 1t simply could not be
any other way as long as it was
the state with it's army of eKjerts
that was doing it.
This year another bunch of state
experts have again invaded our
city. What they are now telling us
is that what the bunch did last
year is all wrong, and the road
built last year is being loaded by
the shovel full into trucks and
hauled out somewhere else and
! dumped. An army of relief work
ers are now employed from six to
