in the British press and Parliament.
Sir Samuel defended himself by say
ing If such compromise were not
effected, Ethiopia probably would lose
its sovereignty. He resigned rather
than cause the Baldwin government
further embarrassment
Sir Samuel was reported in informed
qparters today to have imposed two
conditions on his return to the cab
met
These conditions, informed sources,
said, were:
Il. The League of Nations must
reach a decision regarding future war
sanctions.
q. The British feet must be with
drawn from the Mediterranean.
Sir Samuel and Premier Baldwin
conferred yesterday. While the sub
ject Of their discussion was not dis
closed, it revived rumors the former
foreign secretary might replace Wis
count Monsell.
The reports drew chilly reception
from the British press, which fea-
tured developments Of the visit of
Emperor Halle Selassie Of Ethiopia
In London.
Political circles discussed the cabi-
net situation and Baldwin's possible
effort to win back conservative SUD-
port by naming Sir Samuel to the
admiralty position.
This move, it was believed, might
arouse the antagonism Of Anthony
Eden, present foreign secretary, who
succeeded Sir Samuel, in addition to
being unpopular with the British
public.
Eden, meanwhile, sent his regrets
To- an invitation to a reception for

said he has an earlier engagement

BLACK TOM CLAIMS
DECISION REVERSED
Reopening of Case Imminent as
Ruling Absolving Reich
Is Thrown Out.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
The pages of history had been
turned back again today to the famous
Black Tom and Kingsland wartime
munitions disasters in New Jersey and
a $50 100000 claim against Germany
for sabotage.
Reopening Of the claim case ap-
peared imminent after the German
American Mixed Claims Commission
on Wednesday unanimously reversed
a 1882 decision which absolved Ger
many of responsibility for the two
disasters.
Pending an informal meeting of the
commission to map its future course
official spokesmen for this country
were reluctant to predict exact pro-
cedure. The commissions decision
however. ordered submission Of new
briefs and arguments as the next step
The Black Tom terminal, owned by
the Lehigh Railroad. was destroyed
the night of July 90, 1916, along with
more than $50 carloads of munitions
intended for enemies Of Germany.
The Kingsland munitions assembly
plant was wrecked January II, 1917
by fire and explosions while work was
being done on a huge order for the
Russian government.
Both disasters preceded Americas
entrance into the World War. Ameri-
can officials have charged that paid
spies and secret agents of the Ger
man government we're responsible.

Miss Stephens left for the high

She came here less than year ago
from the Stephens home near New
