officials indicated that France
would assure Britain of its aid if at
tackled while enforcing League of Ma
tons recommendations, but said they
were likely to leave open the question
Of cooperating with Britain in other
circumstances until promised British
aid in case of a German attack.
French authorities expressed doubt
that Britain would attempt a block
ade in an o-Ethiopian conflict
without League of Nations vote for
sanctions.
The clause of the League Covenant
providing for economic and financial
sanctions, however, requires League
members to prevent trade with other
powers, officials said. and hence the
French fear blockade might be un-
avoidable.
1T is up to the League to decide on
sanctions" said one French Official.
He said that an unanimous vote on
the question was probable, if it came
up in the event of war between Italy
and Ethiopia, with opponents of sane

did when the League voted condemna-
ton Of Germanys rearmament.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

DANVILLE. Va, October 1.-The
inside story of one Of the most stirring
episodes in North Cardinals turbu-
liant reconstruction era has come to
light here following the death of
Capt. John G. Lea, last surviving wit
ness to the execution of a notorious
carpetbagger.
Capt. Lea, long a resident of DAN
vile, died early Sunday at South Bos-
ton, Va, releasing an affidavit he
made several years ago at request of
the North Carolina Historical Com
mission regarding the killing Of John
w. Stevens in the Caswell County,
N. c., court house in 1870.
The secret of the execution, which
made North Carolina history, was
guarded until death by the seven men
who lured Stevens into a storage
room at the court house, garroted the
carpetbagger and stabbed him to
death.
Killed BY Klu Klux Khan.
Capt. Lea made lengthy deposit
ton Of the execution, not to be re-
leased until after his death. Stevens
was killed by seven members Of the
Ku Klux Khan within a few feet of
hundreds of colored men rejoicing in
their new-found freedom.
Six of the men preceded Capt. Lea
in death and tradition had it that one
of the men was always present at the
death bed to see that no premature
confession betrayed the secret.
Capt. Lea, according to his deposit
ton, recites dramatically how he
organized the Ku Klux Khan Of
Caswell to cope with a serious situa-
ton, Of its activities, of how Stevens
was killed and subsequently of his
arrest and the succeeding events in
that chapter Of North Cardinals
history.
Stevens, according to history, was

PLAN TO MOBILIZE
HELD WAR THREAT
Rome Officials Say Army
Is Ready, but Has Not
Attacked.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, October 1.-Ethiopia's i'm.
pending general mobilization was de-
scribed today in informed italian
quarters as a "menacing threat" Of
imminent war.
Officials asserted that the Italian
Army in East Africa had braced itself
against a possible attack, but repeated
that there had been no Italian ad-
vance across the Ethiopian border
which they insisted has never been
defined.
They contended that italian move
ments in East Africa were "protec-
tive"
Danger of a sudden outbreak of war,
they explained, would not come from
the italian side, but would come from
Ethiopia. where, they believed, loosely
controlled tribesmen might swarm
over the border.
The Ethiopian announcement Of ar
imminent mobilization was taken by
the press as evidence of aggreSsiveness
which newspapers said should be con.
sidered by the League of Nations.
That, and criticism of the British
note to France, reaf1rming Britain;
loyalty to the League, caused the pres:
to resume critical, sometimes hostile
attitude toward Great Britain.
The newspaper II Tevere published
a quarter-page cartoon entitled "Su-
eide" portraying John Bull" sitting
between closing gates of the Suez
Canal, gateway to East Africa.
Italian officials announced that
scouts had detected the presence OF
strong Ethiopian forces in the sup
posedly-evacuated areas near Italy's
colonial frontiers.
Plane Attacks Denied.

planes were flying and italian ma
chine guns firing over Ethiopian ter.
ritory, officials asserted that instead,
Ethiopian pickets-"in some places re-
inforced by regular troops"-were in
evidence near the boundaries.
They characterized rumors of Ital-
ian activity in the East African en-
pire as "just another report" from
Adds Ababa, designed to place the
onus for eventual hostilities on Italy,
In support of this contention, they
insisted that the contested Italo-
Ethiopian frontiers have never yet
been adequately defined, and called
a fake" Emperor Halle Selassie's as
sertion that his troops had retired 80

simultaneously, the government
called up cavalrymen of the class of
1907 (men born in that year,, chauf-
feurs and sanitary workers of the class
of 1909 and all men of the class OF
1912 who did not serve full military

Pay was increased, effective today
for all Italian soldiers recalled to tht
colors for East African service.

Thirty airplanes and $50 pilots

200 Caswell County men were arrested
and imprisoned. They were tried at
Raleigh but we're freed. Holden was
impeached on several counts. One
of them was for recruiting troops Of
his own to make Caswell submit to
his will, and another was for the false
arrest of Caswell men, among them
Capt. Lea.
Holden's impeachment broke the
hold of carpetbaggers in Caswell

She is cast as the pampered daughter of wealth who, finds man, in the person of Brian Ahearne, the tall, dark and hand some Irishman, and she finds that she cannot twist him the way that she would like to. He causes her to have interest in her, but for him there is no interest at all, as he is of the opinion that she isn't worthy. All know the story of what happens when a woman is scorned. Well, Joan puts on this act, as only she is capable of.
