SCRAP IRON CARGO
| CLEARS FOR ITALY.
Northeast Gale Threatens
to Delay Departure of
British Ship.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON. November 16.-The
freighter Farnham. carrying 5000 tons
of scrap iron and steel, cleared tonight
for Genoa, Italy, and there wasn't
much doubt on the water front about
how the cargo would be used.
The Farnham is under British reg
istry, owned by the Delta Steamship
Co. of London. reputedly operated with
Italian capital.
Bernard S. Costello Of the firm of
Harris & Costello. agents for the
steamer. said tonight the vessel was
assigned ito order" at Genoa. He
said he did not know the identity Of
the buyer.
Cleared for Genoa.
The vessel was cleared for Genoa
via Sydney. N. S., three days run
from here.
At Sydney she will stop for fuel,
Costello said.
Speculation was Immediately raised
here on the part League sanctions
might possibly play when the Farm
ham tries to clear from a British
port.
Six American seamen were signed
today in completing the complement
of the crew.
1t was learned from a reliable
source that Capt. Carmelo D'Arrigo,
commanding the vessel, had guaran-
teed to pay for the return to the
United States of the American mem
bers of the crew in case the vessel
did not return
Agents said she wouldd leave during
the night or tomorrow, but a north
east gale was raging outside, threat
ening to delay her departure
Sailing of the Farnharl was lively
topic of water front discussion. The
League of Nations sanctions against
Italy become operative Monday and in
some circles the belief was voiced she
would never get beyond Gibraltar, if
British warship did not halt her on
the high seas.
Clearance papers were granted the
Farnham in the usual manner after
six vacancies in her crew of 25 were
filled. The Farnham is commanded
by Capt. Carmelo D'Arrigo, who has
experienced much difficulty in keep
ing a full crew aboard during the past
week
Early in the week, IL Of the deck
crew quit the vessel, complaining of
unsatisfactory living and working con-
ditions. They were paid off and dis
charged and new men signed on.
Six of the new seamen quit and
they we're not replaced until today.
One of the last to sign on, as a mess
boy, was Raymond Henry Plant, %,
Of Beverly.
While the Farnham was loading,
some one painted murder cargo" in
letters several feet high. across a
couple of freight cars filled with scrap
metal for the freighter.
THE Farnum was loaded before the
Presidents embargo on arms and mu-
nitions was proclaimed, and before
subsequent presidential statements at

One man who since the end of the
last war was Britain's outstanding
figure has been thrown in the political
waste paper basket. Ramsay Mac
Donald is politically through.
British political stars do not 90
generally on the board OF directors
OF insurance companies after they
hare been discarded; they are
kicked upstairs to the House OF
Lords, and Ramsay Uil certainly
become Lord LosSiemouth Uithin
the merit three months. And Ram
say Uiu look the part.
The son of the Scotch housekeeper
Is essentially nobleman. His dis
tinguished appearance. his manners
and his aristocratic tastes are those
Of a peer by birth. At one time the
Laborites were crazy about "Our
Ramsay" just because of his lordly
manner. Today they call him a
traitor. Maybe he will find some con-
ISOLATION for his political defeat in the
promise of the government to fulfill
his lifelong ambition that after he
passes away he will be buried in the
Westminster Abbey. Had Ramsay
been well born he would have in
evitably been an outright Tory.
Baldwin Wins Respect.
Stanley Baldwin, the leader Of the
Conservative party, had the circum-
stances of his birth been different,
would have been a sincere and able
labor leader. Without being brilliant
or having a particularly engaging per-
sonality, Baldwin has earned the re-
spect of his friends and opponents
alike because of his great honesty and
fine principles.
Baldwin used to be a well-to-do
man. When he succeeded Bonar Law
as the head Of the Tory party and
became prime minister. he disposed Of
all his stocks and shares in various
companies at a terrific loss. He did
not consider it ethical for a man at
the head of a government to have
vested interests" Whatever was left
he invested in real estate and in gov
eminent bonds. The head of gov
ernment and of an important party
must be like Caesars wife.
Although the head OF the Tories,
his heart is really Uith the masses
and he has been unfinching in
his efforts to help the underdog.
The new British cabinet will have
some new blood when it comes before
the next House of Commons. The
most interesting type will be the fight
ing bull of the Conservative party,
Winston Churchill, who will take
charge of one of the two service
either the air ministry or
the admiralty. Churchill has Ameri-
can blood in him, although he does
not like to talk about it. His mother
was a New Yorker. But he likes our
Jumbo" expression and he favors a
jumbo navy and a jumbo air force
for Great Britain-the biggest the
world has ever seen.
Views Fit Times.
Some years ago he was denounced
as an incorrigible jingoist. Now even
the Labor party admits that without

PROGRESS REPORTED
IN MARlHUANA FIGHT
Wide Acreages of Weed De-
stroyed in Five States by
Commissioner.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Progress in the fight against the
narcotic marihuana was reported
yesterday by Commissioner H. j.
Anslinger-advocate of stiff sentences
for Harrison act violators.
Anslinger said wide acreages of the
cannabis saliva weed, or Indian hemp,
have been destroyed recently in Penn
sylvania, New York, Ohio, California
and Georgia.
While many States have laws de-
signed to suppress the growth and
cultivation of the narcotic, described
by Anslinger as one Of the most dam
gerous, there is no Federal law con-
trolling it. Federal agents cooperate
with State and local authorities,
however, in detecting marihuana cul-
tivation, cigaret-making and sales.

total $500 and are from locale not
much farther north.
This movement of Japanese soldiers
adds to the nervousness here and to
the conviction that a political change
in the north is near.
The force at ShanhaikWan is not in
itself alarmingly large Its presence
there, it is pointed out, may be for the
puprose of threatening Nanking and
North China objections to the Japa-
nese plans rather than indicating an
intention to start the occupation of
the north.
Chinese Troops Withdrawing.
Meanwhile the withdrawal of Chi
nese troops of Gen. Shang Chen, gov
ernor of Hopei, from the Tientsin re-
gion to Southern Hopei. is under way.
This leaves Gen. Sung Cheh-Yuan,
whom the japanese call satisfactory"
without Chinese rival in military
strength in the Tientsin-Peiping re-
gion.
One Of the possibilities which has
been under discussion is that Gen.
Sung may be appointed by Marking
as pacification commissioner for Ho-
pei and Chahar.
Things have not had clear sailing
for the japanese and the immediate
prospects do not appear bright for
e-province autonomous northern
regime Gen. Yen Shi-Shan, over
lord of Shansi, formerly friendly to
Japan, has been at Marking all this
month. much to the japanese disap-
pointment, and is declared to be in
tending to stay there.
Gen. Hans Position Unknown.
In addition to pulling wires in
Hopei and Chahar, however, japanese
agents have been working hard on
Gen. Han Fu-Chu. chief of Shantung.
He has appeared to be sitting on the
fence
1t is reported that three japanese
advisers are functioning in the head
quarters of Gen Sung Cheh-Yuan as
commandant of the Peiping -Tentsin
Chinese garrison.
While all this develops in the north
and while Shanghai's nervousness, re-
sulting from causes including the
murder of a Japanese marine and the
wrecking of a Chinese shop at Nam
king. continues, undercurrent or pri-
vate conversations with the Chinese
goes to the effect that Chinese resist
ance against Japan is considerably
more likely than formerly.
Political Unity Possible.
This does not apply necessarily to
the immediate northern crisis. But
at Marking the conflux of politicians
from South China and elsewhere in
dicates on the surface more political
unity than for years.
The new money program with Brit
iSh blessing reveals at least a tenn
porary firming up by the National
Government and Marshal Chang
Kai-Shek. Nanking reports say there
is growing sentiment there in favor
of refusing further major Japanese
demands, avoiding a fight If possible,
but fighting back If Japan invades
China again. possibly using the Yel-
low River as the northern line of
resistance.
Such reports have put new life into
many patriotic Chinese minds.
Nevertheless, compromise is basic
in Chinese politics. The present crisis
in the northern provinces Is hardly
expected to result in armed resistance
in the early future.

ITALIANS PREPARE
FOR NEXT ADVANCE.
100000 Soldiers Eager to
Continue Invasion to
Amba AIagi.

By the Associated Press Foreign STAFF.
WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY AT
MAKALE, Ethiopia, November 16.-
Huge preparations, marked by sharp
combats. were made by the Italian
Army today all along the line for the
next advance.
Three army corps solidly entrenched
themselves in advanced positions. Be-
hind the line there were 100000 men,
eager for the next forward march.
40 Miles From Makale.
Amba Alagi roughly 40 miles south
of Makale, is the next objective, and
the italian intelligence section report
ed it learned Emperor Halle Selassie
had sent the order of mo retreat" to
his warriors massing in that vicinity.
So close is Amba Alagi to the Italian
outposts that Gen. Emilio de Bono
could see it through binoculars when
he climbed Mount Bolbala, 10 miles
beyond Makale.
Reports reached here that Ras
Seyoum, former Governor Of Tigre
Province whom the Italians drove out,
has arrived at Togara, near Amba
Alagi, to take command of the
Ethiopian forces there.
Because of the mountainous forrna-
ton and the altitude. 10000 feet, Amba
Alagi is infinitely more defensible than
Makale.
Small Forces Repulsed.
Before the next push begins every
effort Is being made to eliminate dan
gerous small forces covering the fanks.
These operations are underway by two
Fascist corps, one in the east and one
in the west.
Amba Alagi is the city where Maj.
Toselli and 1000 Italian troops were
wiped out in 1895. December will
be the fortieth anniversary of Toselli's
death against overwhelming forces.

Haitian Barricade WrangIe,
Centering About King,
Delays Senate.

BY the Associsted Press.
Verbal warfare over a Haitian bar.
ricade took up so much of the Sen
ate's time yesterday that vote was
put over until today on the nomina-
ton of John H. Russell, commandant
Of Marines, as a permanent major
general, and the nomination Of Rich
ard p. Williams as brigadier general
Both sides of the sniping forces
seemed to be in agreement yesterday
that the barricade actually was erected
for the purpose OF barring Senator
King. Democrat, of Utah from the
island. The matter Of responsibility,
however, was not settled, as foes OF
Gen. Russell, then high commissioner
of Haiti. insisted he acted on his own
responsibility, while friends declared
he was acting upon orders OF the State
Department.
Exclusion of Senators Debated.
While the advisability of keeping
Senators out of Haiti was debated
hotly by a dozen Senators, there arose
the question again about the tabled
Battle of Russells Run" during the
seizure of Vera Cruz, Mexico, by
Marines in 1914.
Did one Mexican with white flag
nearly route battalion of Marines?-
or did the Marines stand fast under
command of Russell and defend the
pump works supplying Vera Cruz with
water?
Discussion of the conflicting stories,
the latter told by Russell and the
other by Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler,
led to the argument as to whether
Gen. Russell was personally RESPONSE
BILE for the order barring King from
Haiti eight years ago.
Russell Blamed.
Chairman Trammell of the Naval
Committee said it was understood
Russell. as military commandant OF
Haiti, issued the order at the direc-
ton of the State Department to bar
Senator King.

Variously, Gen. Russells admins
tration in Haiti as high commits
