ADDS ABABA, Jan. IT. Elm peror Halle Selassie, in an inter- view accorded newspaper repres- entatives at his headquarters at Dessye, re-affirmed his readiness to make honorable peace," nowith- standing the fact that "our armies are victorious and undefeated." De- claring his intention to remain at the headquarters Of the northern front until the rainy season com menced, the emperor said he eX- pected by that time that the League of Nations would be in a position to put forward new peace proposals which would enable Ethi- opia to withdraw honorably from a war resulting from Italian az gression, providing no decision had been reached by force of arms in the meantime.
 Turning to the military situa- tion, the emperor said that rains on the north front had been to the Ethiopian's advantage, her soldiers now being on more equal footing with the invaders, since with the terrible condition of the roads the enemy could no longer employ many of the modern mechanical weapons. For this reason, the large scale operations of the Italians would be impossible for the next few months.
 On the southern front, the em- peror continued, the battle near Dolo which Ras Lesta began Jan uary 8, was still in progress. This engagement brought Ethiopian troops considerable gains of ground, and the capture of war anmunitions among which were fifty machine guns, over 100 mules, many lorries and two captured Italian tanks, which the Philippians were using against the Italians for the first time.
 In the emperors view, the air atttack on Ualdia Wednesday was primarily meant for him, as it was known that he intended to stop in this town on his journey to the northern front.

BABY BADLY
 FROZEN DUE. j
 TO NEGLECT

2 5sz1a sssssa-s----.
 Clyde Orcutt, 22-months-old baby of MT. and Mrs Thurston Orcutt. was taken to Bishop Rowe General Hospital Wednesday morning. The little fellow was suffering from frostbite; his hands were frog en, his little legs frozen stiff to the knees, and frostbitten from the knees to his waist.
 During the night, while the ther- mometer stood at eight degrees above, he had lain in his crib in a house without fire, alone except for his three-year-old brother and belfast, blind great grandmother.
 The parents, after a stormy do- nestle life, separated recently and two weeks ago Orcutt came back to Wrangell and took the five year old son with him to his former home in the states.
 The mother was married while student in Wrangell High Sschool and is now but 21 years of age.
 Her sister-iu-laW, Mrs. Peter Johnson, told the authorities that on Tuesday night Mrs. Oreutt had brought the children to her house to be kept while she went to the movies; that later she returned and took the children home. The next morning Mrs. Johnson said she heard the children crying when she passed the house on her way down town They were still crying when she came back so she went in and found the children in sad condition. She took them to her home until Mrs. Oreutt came at ten thirty.
 U s. Marshal James Nolan says that Mrs. Oreutt stated upon ques- tioning, that after the show she went out and spent the night with a friend, Howard Nelson, who lives near the power plant She said there was nothing wrong about it for she slept on the couch while SNelson sat up all night and kept up the fire
 Word of the affair has aroused much indignation in Wrangell. The marshals office was reluctant to
 
 cause under present appropriations there are no funds available for the care of the children after re- moval from the mother. The old grandmother is a full blood Indian and gets a small amount of gro ceries and fuel each month from Bureau of Indian Affairs funds
 A group of citizens visited the aged woman yesterday and found her lying in a bed in a side room with but a light blanket over her and in filth conditions said to be indescribable. Bedding and gar, some months ago were not in evi, dence.
 While it has been increasingly difficult in recent years to get aid from the Bureau of Indian Affairs from lack of funds, an urgent tele- gram was sent to the Juneau office outlining the situation and asking for funds for Mrs. Jacksons care.
 The advisory board of the pro posed new Children's Home tn Wrangell are also working to get some form of relief soon for the helpless trio-the babies starting the road of life and the grand. mother nearing the end of a long trail The affair brings the atten- tion of the community anew to the great need of a Children's Home here as refuge for neglected children.

the New Deal"
Addressing the League of Repub-
lican Women at the Maytiower Hotel
Brewster declared the Republicans can
offer the American people their only
salvation from the effects of three
years of the New Deal. No party in
the history Of the country ever zig
nored its solemn covenant with the
American people" as the New Deal
has done, he said.
The Republicans" he said, "have
the confidence of the people that they
will do whatever they promise"

expenses 25 per cent by abolishins
useless administrative agencies. the

penses instead have been increased

istration of relief was a "blunder,
and predicted the Republican platform
will pledge a return to local admins
tration Of relief lin no uncertain
terms"
I'VE face supreme test in the com.
ing election Brewster warned tht

disturbed by Geneva's failure to ac-
complish many of its aims So the
need of a workable substitute was ad-
vanced as one of the most urgent
questions when the first session opened
late yesterday.
1t was swept aside momentarily by
other issues on which there have been
disagreements, and there were signs
that Geneva's weakness might result
in the strengthening of the Balkan
combination, composed Of Turkey
Grece, Yugoslavia and Rumania.
Even Grece, which Is often regarded
as the least enthusiastic of the Balkan
pact members, indicated 1t was in
clined to become a wholehearted work
ing member.
Premier John Metaxas of Greece In
q statement to the press stressed the
desirability of stability. and that idea
gained momentum after the arrival oi
Foreign Minister Nicolas Titulescu ol
Rumania.
Diplomatic experts accompanied the
ministers to the session. as 1t was per-
sistently reported that the Mediter-
ranean question and the upward surge
of Italian influence were to be dis
