Why Johnson Was Named

ANY New Dealer will tell you
that the big fight is between that

"The fleet is not going to be

ETHIOPLANS ROUT ITALIANS FROM kAAKALE IN
League Peace
Move Seen
AS Bluff
international News Service

The amazing charge that Great
Britain, France and italy have an
understanding" in the conflict
over Italy's war in Ethiopia was
made here today by Senator Hen
rik Shipstead GID of Minnesota.
AS q member of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, who
has closely studied European diplo-
macy, Shipstead believes the pow
ers already have agreed that Italy
shall have "a chunk" of Ethiopia.
Shipstead pointed to many de-
velopments in the last few weeks
which have convinced him of his
diagnosis Of the situation.
Certainly, in my opinion, there
is an understanding between
Great Britain, Italy and other
powers" said the Senator.
Sanction Cited
England sent a fleet to the
Mediterranean, but hastened to
assure Mussolini that it wouldn' t
attack unless other powers joined
her.
Another significant thing Is
that sanctions are not effective
until November 1s-after the Tory
election in England.
II think the powers will allow
italy to get the land she seeks for
colonization and save the face Of
the League Of Nations by the bluff
for peace.
Italy didn't get as much for
joining the Allies in the World
War as she was promised. Great
Britain, France and other powers
have to take care of Italy"
Shipstead said the League of
Nations was organized to protect
the Versailles Treaty and the

War.
When they want to get around
the League Covenant and the
Kellogg Pact they do so, Just as
they did over the Manchurian in
vaSion and as they have done in
Ethiopia" he said.
Opposes Aid by U. s.
Shipstead suggested that Great
Britain might not have settled
one question with MusSolini-
protection of Great Britain s
chain to the Orient through the
Mediterranean.
They will have TO have an un-

Part of the bluff may be to

ShipStead aSsailed proposals
that the United States join in
applying sanctions against Italy.

pointed out that Britain had done
nothing to ease tension in the
Mediterranean, having with
drawn no battleshipS.
Sir Eric repeated that Italian
forces in Libya still vastly out
numbered British troops in Egypt.
and that no ships would be called
home while concentrations near
the Egyptian frontier remain as
they are. 5..-.
While yesterdays talks con-
cerned chiefly the Mediterranean
Libyan situation, it was believed
that Sir Eric sought Mussolini's S
opinion of the informal mandate
given by the Leagues committee

seek an Italo- Ethiopian peace for
mula.
Wait for Elections
MuSSolini was said to have re-
peated his earlier attitude-that
Italy will consider any proposal
that meets with Italy's needs in
Ethiopia.
Thus, in respect both to the
Mediterranean and Ethiopia. Italy
feels that the next move is up
to Britain.
The opinion is consequently
being strengthened here that
nothing can be done concretely
until toward the end of this
month. The reasons are:

has ordered cited, with one ma
chine-gun held off an entire divi-
sion of Italians with rapid fire
from his nest.
The surprise change on the
northern front as reported by the
Ethiopian government indicated
the big battle in the north will
come much sooner than had been
expected.
The Italian force which occu.
pied Makale was small one. oper
ating some distance ahead of the
main Italian force, according to
the official announcement.
The communique said:
San Italian force under Colonel
Zagaye entered Makale from Adj
graf and took the town last night.
Later the Ethiopians attacked
and drove out the Italians, killing
10 and capturing four.
"Other casualties are believed
to have been inflicted on the
italians, but their extent is un-
known"
Trophies Of Combat
The Ethiopians swooped down
upon Makale under the cover Of
darkness, forcing Italians to re-
treat northward. The italian
forces which had occupied the
town were said to be native
Eritreans.
The heroic resistance of the
machine-gun officer on the south
ern front awakened a ferocious
reaction among the Ethiopians,
according to Adds Ababa &C
counts of the battle, which &C.
Cured at an Italian position near
GoTTahei.
Thus inspired, the EthiopianS
attacked relentleSSly and ruth
leSSly. No prisoners we're taken.
All captured Italians were treated
in the traditional manner, the
Ethiopian warriors according to
custom taking back to their tribes
Virile trophies of combat.
Given Decoration
Because his Sharp-shooters
brought down two italian air
planes with old-faShioned blum
derbuss rifles, Grazmatch Mo-
manned, in charge of the most
southern Of the Ethiopian armies
on the Ogaden front, today re-
ceived from the Emperor the high
est Ethiopian decoration.
Mohammed reported to the En-
poror that it now was extremely
quiet on the southern front ex-
cept for infrequent reconnaissance
flights by Italian planes.
It was considered significant
here that the government now
not only admits but announces
italian bombing raids. being
anxious to give a firSt-hand ac-
count of the fighting at the front.
The two developments an
nounced today were among the
most important of the entire war.
The counter attack and decision
to hold Makale apparently altered
the complexion of the entire
northern front campaign. since
previously the Ethiopians had
been expected to retreat further
into the interior before engaging
the invadrs.
Army Morale Lifted
The exact numbers of the Ethio-
plans in the north is not known
publicly, several of the armies be-
ing kept in hiding where even the
italian reconnaissance planes have
been unable to locate them.
The Ethiopians are believed to
have sufficient manpower in the
Makale vicinity, however, to put
up q stiff defense of their country.
The successful Ethiopian attack
On the southern front was ex-
pected to become important as an
inspiration to the entire Ethiopian
army. The fact that one man
could hold off an entire division
and slay 400 of the enemy was
expected to be encouraging news
to every Ethiopian warrior.
