 With eye to the climate, their work has been divided into periods. In the morning they labor from to 10. When the sudden tropical night comes, they work by electric light from to 10 in the evening. It took African and Arab natives 15 days to unload boat which the Italian lockers unload in three.

Massawa has been Italian for about 50 years. For considerable period it the capital of Eritrea the Italian colony northeast of Ethiopia, but in 1900 Asmara succeeded it in that eminence. The reason for the change obvious Massawa lies in fiat island in the Red sea and is connected to the main- land by causeways. It lies in cup where it sim mers and stews under the Asmara is situated the heights-a plateau 7,765 feet above level Here the white man live and work in compara- tive comfort.

Bandits Expectations in Two Years Placed Around
 S3,OOO, ,OOO-TwO National Banks L0Oted

OMalley, rather than face a multitude of bank robbery charges, pleaded guilty to the Kidnapping of August Luer, Alton, H., banker two years ago and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
 The leader of the "Six Daring Bandits, Inc.," also closely asso- ciated with the O'MaIley gang was Leonard Short, captured in Gall ena, Mo, June 10.
 O'Malley's biggest coup, one which would have done justice to the Floyd Birdwell bank bandit team, was the robbery of two banks at Okemah, Okla, Dec. 23, 1884. when loot from the first National Bank of Okemah and the Okemah National Bank totaling $26,000.
 While O'Malley, Cooper, Gilmore, Henderson and Short were robbing the Okemah National Melton and Reese were staging the First Ma tional robbery. Since the robbery of a national bank is a federal of- fense federal agents took the trail immediately.
 All have been captured and await trial on bank robbery charges, except OMalley.
 Loot Placed Near $3,OOO,OOO
 The O'Mailey gang in the past two years, Maurice M. Milligan United States District Attorney at Kansas City, said after the cap ture of Melton and Reese, had col lected between $2.0o0,000 and $S.- 100000 in bank robberies. payroll holdups, abductions and extortion plots.
 O'Malley, former associate of Alvin Karpis. still Americas pub lie enemy No. 1, was regarded by federal agents as an extremely desperate man.
 "Six Daring Bandits. Inc." or ganized by Leonard Short, Galena Mo-. fight promoter, staged sey- cral small jobs and tried to attain a national reputation. Ruel Wom- mack. chief of detectives, Spring field, Mo-. and federal agents brought the gang to quick end.

 Kansas City, Mo. (UP)-Fed- eral agents. working quietly and without publicity, have extermin- . ated two of the Middle Vests most infamous gangs whose dep relations ran into millions.
 The two gangs obliterated were the Walter (Irish) O'Malley gang and an ozark mob" known as the i"Six Daring Bandits, Inc" The O'Malley gang had eight members and the Ozark mob six with an overlapping of the members of one gang into another. In addition to these IA gangsters, five others, some of whom associated at one time or another with those two gangs, were placed behind bars.
 Search Extended to Texas
 After working more than year on the OMalley gang federal agents started cracking the gang last May. On May "A, Dewey Gil- more was arrested in Dallas, Tex, the first of the gang nabbed by J. Edgar Hoover's sleuths. Four days later Floyd Henderson was arrested in Joplin, Mo. On May 30, Russell Cooper was nabbed in Fort Smith, Ark. The following day in Kansas City the big catch was made when O'Malley and his chief lieutenant, Dan T. Heady were taken in a surprise raid con- \ ducted by E. E. Conroy, federal agent in charge of the Kansas City division. and Sheriff Thomas B. Bash of Jackson county.
 The only member of the gang captured by accident was Otto Jackson, who went on drunken spree in Kansas City August i, and was apprehended by two police men unaware of the importance of their quarry.
 Ozarks Yield Quarry
 The climax to the cleanup of the O'Malley gang came several days later when Virgil (Red) Mel ton and Fred Reese. two of O'Mal- 1ey's right-hand assistants, were captured in the wooded Ozark areas near Harrison, Ark.

 II ONDON, Sept. 14-Not since the United L States sent 100000 men to the battle fields of France, has any nation been con- fronted with the problem with which the em- battled Italians now are wrestling. They have sent 140,0OO soldiers and workers thou sands of miles from Italy to Massawa, chief port of Eritrea. In addition to this there has been the dispatch of all that an army needs artillery, tanks, armored cars, airplanes, motor lorries, horses, mules, oil and petrol, barbed wire and all kinds of machinery, tools and equipment for the army's engineer ing corps.
 As the army cannot live off the country it also has been necessary to send endless tons of vegeta bles, fruit wheat, rice, macaroni, oil, cheese and wine from the home country
 Early in the game the Italian army and navy authorities found that they could not accomplish their task of unloading by employing Somalis and Arabs used they were to the torrid heat. Their methods too leisurely. In them there was no fNx;r

a site very close by on North Main
street, where later the Second Cons

Britain and France Consult
With Italy to Protect

LONDON, June 13.-An authoritative
source stated today that Great Britain
and France are consulting with Italy
in an attempt to draw up formula
for the protection of Italy's special
economic interests" In Ethiopia.
1t was understood that Italy would
like to obtain a protectorate over
Ethiopia, but that Great Britain seeks
to find some other solution to the
problem.
Demands Full Solution.
ROME, June 13 P).-Official
sources said today Italy would not be
content with the partial solution OF
her controversy with Ethiopia, In
commenting upon London reports that
efforts were being made to reach an
agreement between the two countries
on the basis OF certain Ethiopian con-
cesSionS
These sources said Italy could not
be satisfied with the cession by
Ethiopia of portions of territory such
as, for example, Ogaden. or the big
block Of territory linking the colonies
of Eritrea and Somaliland.
officials also said that an offer of
Ogaden would be completely insufi-
cient, since Ogaden, although ex-
tensive in territory. Is not rich in
raw materials.
