LEAGUE DISRUPTED
Says Italy Has Created Dis
sension in RANKS of Great
Nations

Geneva, April 7.-(AP)-The Ethio-
plan government asserted today in a
new appeal for help that Italy had
succeeded in disrupting the League of
Nations.
There is no doubt" said the APP
peal, that had the states which are
members of the League adhered to
their resolve to stop the aggressor by
applying effective sanctions, the war
would quickly have come to an end.
"The italian government, however,
succeeded in sowing dissension within
the League, preventing the imposition
of effective sanctions and securing
postponement of those it feared, es-
pecially an oil sanction"
The Ethiopian note said bitterly
that whenever some effective sane
ton had been decided on and was
about to be enforced, some interven-
ton brought about its postponement.

wide radio speech made last week by
DR.. Ralph Mcdonald of Winston

Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham,

while the Mcdonald speech made a

with the removal of the sales tax and
which has no interest in whether or

The American people are fooling

They are not plunging emotionally in

Observers have been remarking in

Contrary to expectations, politics is
not working the people up to white

CHAPTER XXXII
Baxter and Briant started on
their work the day after Doniphan
and his three friends left French
Den.
That day and the next were en-
ployed in the manufacture of the
kite. It was solidly constructed, so
much so that without any danger
it could have lifted anyone of the
young colonists and carried him
UP in the air. The rope was
rolled around one of the wind
lasSeS Of the schooner which then
was brought to the center of Sport
Terrace.
This work was finished on the
night Of the fifteenth, and Briant
put off launching of the kite
until the next day.
That was October II, 1861, a
date which was going to be re-
membered as a red letter day in
the annals of Chairman Island.
The morning was devoted to
final preparations. After lunch
they all went to Sports Terrace.
The kite was about to be sent
up when Briant suddenly stopped
everything.
