This Changing World
Britain Hopes Ethiopia Will Become Political
Tomb of Mussolini-Selassie's Army Ap-
pears to Be Stiffening Resistance.

without penetrating them before the
next rainy season begins, Marshal
Badoglio is reported to have decided
to overlook all political considerations
and to turn the Ethiopian front by
marching into Western Ethiopia from
Aksum and occupying Gondar.
II Duce Is intensely annoyed with
the French, whom he accuses of hav-
ing double him.
In order to make an impression on
French public opinion, which will
have the final word in q question OF
France joining Great Britain in the
great adventure against Italy, Musso-
lini has decided to move several divi-
sions from the Brenner Pass to
the Alps.
When italy modified 100000 men

In response to inquiries as to the
status of the company's relations with
its Italian subsidiary, Teagle's office
referred to his statement of October
18, in which he said he saw no reason
to interfere with the regular COM
mercial oil business between Standard
and its Italian company.
At that time, Teagle's office issued
this statement:
Persistent press comments that
major oil companies are discussing a
possible worldwide embargo Of petro-
leum sales to Italy brought forth from
the Standard Oil Co. IN. j. a fiat de-
nial of knowledge of any such deci-
sion.
SubSidiary's Record.
"An Italian subsidiary of Standard
Oil Co. IN. j., Societa Italo-Ameri-
cana del Petrolio, has been marketing
petroleum products in Italy for more
than 40 years"
The statement concluded that
Standard had not been approached
with any suggestions that it restrict
regular shipments to its italian sub
sidiary and that Teagle saw mo rea-
son under existing conditions to inter-
fere with the regular commercial busi-
ness which had been carried on in

Italy's famous premier of 40 years ago.

There are indications the resistance
of Emperor Selassie's warriors is
stiffening. War material in large
quantities has been sent into Ethiopia
from Egypt and Kenya. Military ad-
visers conversant with modern strategy
have reached the headquarters Of the
Ethiopian army.
The British do not erpect the
Ethiopidns to defeat the italian
troops, but they hope intelligent
guerilla warfare might retdrd the
Advance OF Marshal Bddoglio's
troops and prevent them from en-
tering the plateau before the rainy
season begins.
If Selassie is capable of doing that
the Italians will have to suspend the
campaign from March until October.

In the meantime the stage Is being
set to avoid an immediate clash over
the oil embargo.
Following the example Of the
United States, the League Of Nations
will declare an embargo only on such
quantities of oil as exceed the normal
Italian consumption in peace time.
The French hope this measure will
not force Mussolini to declare the
embargo a casus beli. The con-
sumption of oil for private use can
be drasticaIly curtailed anu the i'm
ported quantities can be used ex-
clusively for military purposes.

have you known herr"
II met her two winters ago, at
Palm Beach, though, like all Phila-
delphia society, I had heard of
Mortimer Keith. She stayed at the
Royal Arms Hotel, where Adele
and / were; and because he was
too busy to join her. she was
grass widow and needed company.
That, her social position and her
attractiveness made her welcome
with all the young men at the re-
sort. ] did my share to entertain
her; ] rode and visited the casino
with her, and several times attended
the dog races. Even Adele acted
fairly cordially toward her"
well, what happened the night
here you followed your wife and
Campbell?" the detective prompted.
Where did they lead you?"
"Out the Park Drive and left on
the Ridge Pike" Rowland said
"We passed through Roxborough
and Norristown. At Collegeville
we caught up and followed them off
to the right, along the narrow
country road paraIleling Perkiomen
Creek. At the end of five miles,
they halted finally at a substantial
stucco bungalow along the creek. 1t
was then one-thirty.
Again drove my car past,
about two hundred feet, and parked
where elump of trees fringed the
road and hid us from the cottage.
Campbell produced a key and un-
locked the door; then he turned on
the lights. | have inquired about
it since and learned it belongs to
Nick Alberti, the manager of the
Organdy Club, a friend of Camp
bells. Adele was then cautious
enough to pull down all the blinds.
Still watching silently in the dark
ness, Mrs. Keith and I could make
out they were drinking in the living
room. At two-thirty they started to
retire and a half hour later Camp
bell turned out the lights. I con-
sidered l had gathered enough evi-
dence against Adele to enter de-
fense to her suit; so l retraced the
trail with Mrs. Keith back to the
city"
The speaker concluded his narra-
tive and fell silent until Rankin
asked:
"And at no time did your wife or
Campbell see you or become sus-
plcious of your presence?"
I'm practically certain they
never realized they were being fol-
lowed"
Then they and Mr.. Willard had
no idea in advance with whom they
had to reckon? Mr.. Trumbull felt
reasonably sure they hadn't iden-
titled Mrs. Keith as your chief wit
ness before she arrived at the hear
ing this afternoon"
Allen Rowland pondered mo-
ment. That's right, unless Adele
noticed her at the night club" he
offered at length, "and she prob
ably didn't; her arrival there that
night must have been one of the
reasons Mrs. Keith left without
waiting for her date"
Yes, [ suppose that's possible. !"

wife's in6delity? Your entire case

land and dismissed him.
His next step was to examine the
dead woman's eheckbook. Except
for two stubs, her accounts seemed
in perfect order; her expenditures,
with the date, purpose or name OF
payee and amount, were carefully
audited. The sums she spent were
comparatively small and far from
commensurate. Rankin wondered
at her low balance, which never
exceeded FIVE thousand dollars, and
at present came to less than one.
The two check-stubs which were
not identifable as to purpose, how
ever, indicated exceptionally large
sums. One check had been drawn
about three months ago, and the
past Thursday-for two thousand
and three thousand dollars, respec-
lively. The only clue to the reason
for these Withdrawals was the word
personal written on each stub.
Before the detective could ponder
the significance of these entries, a
knock interrupted him. At his COM
