AT the time the contract was

reason not only for resembling the
contract but also for abandoning
possession of and title to, all the
articles involved In the sale, both
of which he did.

There has been enough OF them
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-03

There was Zeb Angel Of the Angel
Brothers Hospital, Franklin, N. c.,
who offered two colored divisions,
fully equipped with the best arms,
provided Ethiopia had the ships to
transport them. There have been
scores Of other offers.
There has also been applications
from adventures, 5obless and ex-
soldiers from every corner of the
Garth. 1t is estimated there could
have been several thousand re-
cruitcd in Northern Europe alone,
and many thousand more In Amer
lea. Political exiles-it Is said
many Austrian Legionnaries have
applied-have been among them.
All Offers Refused
All have been refused. Except
for<a French flying officer and the
handful OF Swedes and Belgians in
the military missions. there is no
foreign military man in Ethiopian
pay.
Ethiopia does not need man
power. Second, 1t cannot afford
to transport men from all corners
Of the. world. Third, 1t needs all
the equipment it can get for Hs
own army. At the best, there will
be glaring deficiencies.
Finally, there are mountains,
the chasms, the fever-ridden val
leys, the bush, the disease, and the
deserts where even the highland
Amharas do not care to fight II
they can avoid 1t. Foreigners
would be little use under such con-
ditions, without long acclimatiza-
ton.
Ethiopians believe the Italians
will discover that. too, If they at
