A WOn1anS ViezUbOint

(Y husband. who died last
~ year" confides a letter from
Distracted Widow. asked business
acquaintance in whom he felt per-
feet confidence to help me manage
my affairs. Although my husband
trusted this man, do not. At least
not 70 the fullest extent. Probably a
man would regard my fears as
childish fancies, but surely you, Mrs.
Ferguson. viii understand when I
tell you that he has been consist
emily unfaithful TO his wife, and
over a long period Of years. He
seems incapable Of constancy. Is it
strange that I should suspect him
Of double dealing in other things?"
I, for one, do not regard the
widows fears as foolish.
It may be possible for a man who
lies 10 his wife TO be the soul of
honor in business, but 1t Is hardly
probable. He is much more likely,
feel, 10 prove unreliable.
We may tell ourselves that the
affairs Of the heart and the head
have little in common, yet once the
heart has learned to deceive it is
easy for the tongue TO lie. There is
something about continued infidel-
ity in the married relation that
works subtle disintegration to the
spiritual qualities of an individual.
Moral integrity is not thing with
which we dare gamble. It's precious
ness is enhanced by the care we
take to preserve it.
Evasions. equivOcatiOns. receptions
all these things used long enough
against the persons we love must,
Will in the end, undermine the
whole structure Of truth, honor and
decency with which we guard our
souls.

bracing and the nights very
bleak. = " On the higher noun
tains the climate is Alpine"
In this description of the ter
ritory in which fighting must
take place if war is pressed may
be seen one of the chief reasons
why the warrior leaders of Ethi-
Opia refuse to be intimidated by
threats of foreign invasion. Stu
dents of warfare have observed
often that it was Russia, not the
Russians, that drove Napoleon
from Moscow, and it may be
Ethiopia, not the Ethiopians,
that will prove most formidable
foe of Mussolini's black-Shirted
youths.
In addition, communication
and transportation systems into
the interior of Ethiopia are par
ticularly bad. A single line of
railway covers the 780 miles
from Adds Ababa to Jibuti, sea-
port in French Somaliland, but
few improved highways exist be-
yond the limits of Adds Ababa
or the one or two other sizable
communities. For the most part,
therefore, transport has been by
mule or other pack animal, a
system not conducive to efficient
servicing of an invading army.
Furthermore, conditions of ter
rain make any bodybuilding
projects matters of considerable
labor and engineering skill and
of great expense.
This latter fact, plus perhaps
a shrewd realization of the
handicaps facing an invading
army, explains to a great degree
Evening star., 1935-07-14

mel Of trade became that utility.
For its own needs, Ethiopia is
fortunate in having exceedingly
fertile soil for agricultural pur-
poses. In the lower regions
maize, wheat, barley, rye, cotton
and sugar cane are among the
crops, while the uplandS add cof-
fee in considerable amount, veg
etables of all kinds and more
wheat and barley. Most regions
of the country yield two crops
per year, some yield three.
In addition the land is we'll
adapted to stock raising and
enormous herds of cattle and
sheep abound throughout the
country. In time of war these,
for the most part, may be driven
into the mountain faStneSSeS,
where they will be of most use
to the defenders. Horses are
numerous and strong, as are
mules, that are bred in great
quantities and are used for all
types of work.
In earlier years, as the tribes
inhabiting the country devoted
themselves to internecine war
fare, no large communities were
established. In 1892, however,
Emperor Menelik II built the
nucleus of Adds Ababa in the
mountain security of the Prov
ince of Shoa. Today it has be-
come a rambling municipality
covering almost as much ground
as the City of Washington, but
with population of only 10000.
Spread over a cluster of hills,
the city centers around the i'm
perial palace, audience hall and

a new Parliament building. On
the western edge of the city is
the American Legation, rented
from the priests who control the
Menelik mauSoleum fund. To
the east are the spacious grounds
of five European legations.
OF interest, and probably sur
priSing to many, is the fact that
the real Ethiopian is not a Negro.
Dark skinned, with hair that is
usually kinky and lips that are
often thick, the pure Ethiopian'S
ancestry has been traced back to
a combination of the Semitic
and Hamitic races. In tempera-
ment he is proud, courageous and
patriotic.
OF interest also is the fact that
the ruling majority of Ethiopia
have been Christians since early
in the fourth century. At the
present time the priesthood is
extremely powerful and numbers
nearly one-quarter of the male
population. Their Christianity
is of the Coptic, or Monophysite,
branch, which is believed to have
originated in Egypt.
THE modern history of Ethio-
MIA, containing the factors of
foreign penetration, which seems
headed for a new climax in the
current controversy with Italy.
may be considered as starting
in the reign of King Theodore,
who reached the height of his
power about 1855, when he had
all the more important factions
of the country Subdued. During
the succeeding 10 years, however,
Theodore became involved in
differences with Great Britain,
which resulted in the arrival of
a British army under Sir Rob-
ert Napier.
Numbering some $4,000 men
and aided by several native
chiefs who were deSirouS of
throwing off Theodore's rule, the
British force finally captured
the Emperor's stronghold, but
then left the country as two
local chiefs divided the powers
of ruling certain provinces. The
Napier expedition was the only
one to penetrate Ethiopia sue
ceSsfully on a mission of war.
At this time Italy made its first
appearance on the scene in the
form of an Italian trading COM
pany, which established itself
in 1870 at Assab, a port on the
Red Sea. Gradually this COM
pany acquired more land, only
to sell out completely to the Ital-
ian government in 1882. This
expansion of Italian influence
along the Red Sea in what is
now Eritrea worried both King
John and Emperor Menelik, the
two ruling EthiopianS, and major
warfare was averted only after
native troops had wiped out "a
detachment of about 400 Italian
soldiers. Soon after, however,
King John was killed in fighting
with dervish forces Of the Sudan
and Menelik became sole ruler
in 1889.

a short while, but in 1893 Meme
lik denounced the pact on the
grounds that the Italian and
Amharic versions were different.
Warfare opened in 1895, with
the Italian arms being victorious
in early engagements near the
Eritrean border. AS their forces
pushed southwark into Ethiopia
proper, however. their fortunes
turned and reverSeS were Suf-
fered. Strengthened by rein
forcementS in February of 1896,
an Italian army of some $4,000
men again took the offensive.
Advancing in four brigades, the
invaders found themselves cut
off and overwhelmed one at a
time. About half the Italian
forces were killed, most of the
rest captured and tortured, and
before additional Italian armies
could reach the scene the Ethio-
plans had withdrawn to the pro-
lection of their mountain coun-
try.
Eventually a treaty was signed
between the principals, followed
soon after by trade-encouraging
agreements between Ethiopia
and several other European
powers that had been attracted
by the ability of the African en-
pire to defend itself against un-
welcome invasion. Great Brit
ain, as might be expected, took
the leadership in these agree
mentS, one of her principal
cooperative projects with the
Ethiopian empire being develop
ment of plans for controlling the
flow of the Ethiopian lakes and
rivers feeding into the Nile, a
matter of great Importance to
Britain's Egyptian possessions
and interests.
T IPON the death of Menelik the
Ethiopian dynasty of rulers
experienced troublouS times for
a spell, but moved toward a new
stabilization upon the accession
TO power of one RaS Tafari as
regent. BY marriage, Ras Tafari
