settIers' Village

Now that Waterbury has fittingly cele- brated her part in the states tercentenary observance residents will have chance to pay their respects to Settlers Village up in Chase Park. A visit to this unique exhibition is the customary method of doing this We recommend that not mere ly one but that many visits to the village be paid during the months that it is open. As in the past we still re-echo the hope that the exhibit will be of permanent nature.
 It would seem as if the amount of work, of a skilled nature, that has gone into the preparation of the houses, characteristic of the past and racial customs, warrants retention of all for longer period than merely few months, even if the tercen- tenary year does officially end in October. Waterbury has most excellent oppor- tunity here of preserving for all time something that will be an attraction to visitors to our town as we'll as an educa- tion for the coming generations.
 Its upkeep should not be so great but what voluntary contributions and gate receipts could not defray the cost. And even if the city was forced eventually to underwrite some of the expense it would be money so well spent that not even the most hard-pressed taxpayer would con- plain. We are heartily in favor of any plan that encompasses Settlers Village as a permanent Waterbury institution. There are so many ways in which it could be made part of our civic life that we fail to see any need for even considering demoli- tion of the site.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-13
A Thought for Today
Italy's African Affair

The very old and somewhat out-of-date empire of Abyssinia is about to fight With streamlined, modernized Italy, and if the sports fraternity were making book on the affair the odds would be at least 10 to 1, with practically no takers. Yet the long shot does have way of galloplng home, occasionally, and if the views of an anonymous military expert writing In the London Spectator recently are correct, Italy stands very broad chance of con- ing an inglorious cropper in the fighting in Africa!
 This writer makes the point that Abys- sinia is apt to be an easy place to get into, but hard one to get out of. The Italian army, he says, ought to be able to drive its way into Addis Ababa, Abyssinian capital, without trouble; once there, however, its trouble would begin. All the Abyssinians need to do, he continues, is to retreat. To catch and defeat them the Italians would have to cross rugged mountainous coun- try larger than Morocco and 1t took most of Frances great colonial army many years to make the Moroccans knuckle under.
 Meanwhile, Italian communications would be in danger, and the upshot of It all might we'll be the starvation and slow disintegration of the entire Italian expe- ditionary force. All this is interesting chiefly as reminder that wars are seldom fought according to the textbooks. On paper, a modernized and well-disciplined army like that of Mussolini's should have no trouble at all with horde of semi savage levies such as Halle Selassie can nauster. In actual fact, such encounters often turn out differently.
 Augustus Caesar of Rome discovered this 1900 years ago, when Varus got the flower of the Roman army entangled ln the Teutoberger forest in Germany, where the barbaric tribesmen annihilated it. Cortez nearly met the same fate Tn his first drive at the Aztec empire The British regulars were no match for the Pennsylvania Indians when Braddock was trapped near Fort Duquesne. The crack cavalry regiment of the U. s. army was overwhelmed when the plains Indians got it in blind alley at the Little Big Horn.
 You could cull a column or so of similar instances from the military histories, but the examples that have been given so far are enough to make the point = which IS that making war on horde of poorly equipped barbarians in a much riskier business than it appears on the surface. Mussolini's troopers will need all the good generalship and the good luck they can command, if the African campaign is to be the triumphal procession it is expected to be-
