WAR IN AFRICA

. MusSOlini's war on Ethiopia has started.
II began with air raids and bOmbings OF
unfOrtified towns and the killing Of women
and children. If the League of Nations per-
mits the Italian dictator to have his way,
this warfare will continue until many thou
sands of the Philippians have been slaugh-
tered and their country has been enslaved
by the dictator and his cohorts. The cOur-
age and fighting capacity of the EthiOpiaHs
will not save them. They will not only be
outnumbefed by the Italian sOldiery, but
training and equipment will count against
them many fold in comparison with num-
bers. The Africans will not be able to
withstand the engines of destruction with
which the Europeans are so plentifully
provided and which are entirely lacking in
the fighting equipment of the Philippians.
This tragedy, the destruction of a gov
ernrnent, it's people and resources, by
more powerful country, for the sole reason
that the latter desires the country for its
own uses and purposes and to further the
plans Of the Italian dictator, has it's lesson
for other European countries and perhaps,
also, for nations not located on the CONT
neht of Europe.
iThe first chapter of that lesson is that if
England, France and other European cOun-
tries allied with them want to stop the ca
reer of the insane Italian dictator now is
the time to do it. If Mussoini wins the
Ethiopian contest, as ne will if there is no
League intervention, this will only mark
the beginning of his career as a menace to
European and world peace. If England and
France do not stop the dictator now, they
will be compelled to try to stop him later
in France and in England.
MussOlini could be stopped now by the
simple step of closing the Suez Canal. The
countries opposing him hesitate to take
that course, fearing it will precipitate an
other world war, or at least conflict that
VIII involve all Europe. There is a posi-
bhHy that this estimate is correct, but it is
far from being as certain as the future
course Of MussOni if he is successful in
his war on Ethiopia. If the Italians come
oul'ot that conflict with victory, there is
nothing in future developments that can be-
counted upon with greater certainty than
the'fact that Mussolini will later proceed
to make war in Europe.
That the Italian dictator, inflamed by a
successful campaign against the African
country, will be greater menace to Euro
pean and world peace than he would be il
stopped in his mad career at this time, is
reasonably certain. England and France
and the other countries opposing Mussolin
may have many good reasons for hesitat
ing to take drastic steps now to stop the
conquest of Ethiopia. The problem that
will be thrust upon them by later develop
ments, if the dictator is permitted to run
his c6arse, will start another world wal
that will make the last one look like child
play.

October, 1895, was banner month

gone to work, force doubled. And
the first month produced the record
breaker. When the highway patrol

have added to the October total, every

Slaughter generally has followed

PROPOSALS OFFERED
Sir Samuel Hoare, Retired
Foreign Secretary, Says
Situation is Now E ven
More Acute Than Before;
Baldwin Stresses Need Of
Anglo-French Unity.

London, Dec 19 (AP)-Prime Min
lister Baldwin told the House of Com
mons today "the chief responsibility
is mine" for the Franco-British peace
plan for Italy and Ethiopia, and that
the British government would make
no attempt to resurrect it.
His statement followed an address
by Sir Samuel Hoare, who resigned
as foreign secretary because of the
public protest against the peace plan.
In defense of Hoare, Baldwin said
the peace plan represented the min
imum to which it was possible to OBJ
tain the agreement of the French gov
ernment land I attach vital import
ance to Anglo-French solidarity"
TIC prime minister continued:
"Nonc Of US liked the proposals. We
thought they went too far. We would
have liked to modify them. The chief
responsibility is mine. / admit much
harm has been done. It will take time
to rectify it"
Sir Samuel told the crowded cham
Der that he did not entirely approve
of the plan himself, but that it SEEM
ed the best aid to Franco-Britlsh re-
lations.
The resigned foreign secretary as
surcd his audience that in any case
Great Britain had not advocated the
plan from fear of Italy, stating:
1--WE had no fear as a nation what
ever of any Italian threat. If the
Italians attacked us. we would retail
late, and, judging from past history
we should rctalatc with full success"
Sir Samuel warned:
"Thc situation has become more
acute. l believe we now are enter
ing a much more dangerous phase"
He told his colleagues that the
British alone were taking military
precautions on behalf Of the League
of Nations, and that no other men,
Der had taken such steps.
Delay in affecting peace in East
Africa, he declared, might mean an
drift to a European war.

Raleigh, Dec. 10 Though action is
not expected during This wear there
is growing belief about Raleigh
that Colonel Luke Lea is going to get
Il parole soon.
Judge M. V. Barnhll, who comes
TO the Raleigh district the first Of
the year is said to be in humOr to
help Colonel Lea whom the judge sen
fenced to the States prison for term
Of six TO eight years for alleged con-
spiraCy to wreck the Central Bank
and Trust Company Of Ashcvillc.
Judge Barnhill opposed the pardon in
July. Clcmcncy was then sought on
the basis Of newly discovered evidence
and that alone, but Parole Commits
sioncr Edwin M. Gill and Governor
1IhringhauS were not impressed with
that evidence, nor was Judge Barn
hill. But neither the judge nor the
governor went so far as to close the
doors on the Colonel.
There has been no new move, GER
tainly none of the character first un-

summer would be much mOdlilcd oy

Dutcd to be ready to recommend, at

Colonel Lea on account of his abund-
ant crop of enemies in Tennessee is
not particularly anxious to go out that
way.
But when Judge Barnhill comes to
this circuit he will be in easy reach
of petitioners for Colonel Lea. Mean
while, the most illustrious prisoner
