BY LESLIE EICHEL

New York, Dec. 18.-HoW much
power has the British monarch?
Perhaps more than one imagines.
It was he who suggested the "com-
promise" over Ethiopia, by which
more than one-half of that nation
would be taken by Italy. At least, so
we hear. The king of Italy is believed
to have appealed.
Perhaps it has been a foregone con-
clusion that Great Britain, France
and Italy would end by dividing up
the better part of Ethiopia. But Brit
1Sh Laborites did not believe so. They
made that clear when Great Britain
secretly changed it's policy over night.
They were helpless, however, for

But when he heard directly that
it was none other than the king who
urged the new policy, he capitulated

WHO ADVISES KING?
The question in England for some
time has been: "Who advises the
king?"
Unlike an elected official, a king
may keep his conferences from the
public eye.
Yet, king may take a hand in
public affairs-behind the scenes.

Wounded Arriving
From Battle Front
In North Ethiopia

Asmara, Eritrca, Dec. 18 APO-
Scores Of wounded, including several
officers came out of the Takkazc riv-
or front today. They wer the first
casualties from a battle which has
been in progress there for three days.
For many hours the outcome of the
engagement. which officers regarded
as highly important, was in doubt.
Details were scanty, but the Italians
were confident that reinforccments
would decide the battle in their favor.
Officers suggested the Ethiopians
might ultimately find their retreat
cut off and be compelled to surrender
or be annihiliated.
1t was considered ironic that the
Ethiopian Attack had the holy city of
Aksum, now in italian hands, would
have been returned to Ethiopia under
the terms of the Franco-British peace

Final Examination Scene
Students come into class room
looking tough as ell after staying
up all night examining for the
exam. Instructor doesn't help
things any by blowing in with a
stack of exam papers about the
size of the Empire State building.
"Put all your books and note
books up front, pleased" is the
command, and anybody who has
had any faint idea of cribbing
Cheating, to youse guys) decides
to struggle through the best he
can without any funny stuff. {.
Exams are passed out and you find
they are fifteen pages long. AS
you have only six pages of notes,
you wonder how the heck you are
going to make up enough to stag
ger through the other nine pages.
Instructor chortles: "This
examination is really not a hard
one. I've tried to include only the
most important highlights of the
course this quarter" Students do
not look convinced on accounta'
they know college instructors have
awful queer ideas about just what
the "highlights" consist of. &.
There is a groaning sound which
arises dismally and indicates that
some brave souls have already VEN
tured into the first page of the
exam, and have found that they are
thrown for a ten yard loss by ques-
ton Number One. Other stu
dents hear the groans and wriggle
intentionally. Ants in their pants.
Some put off the ordeal by
monkeying with their fountain pens
or Tipping quickly through the
pages of the exam in the hope that
they may possibly find something
