 About two months ago 6 New York stamp collector made an effort to foster the sale of an "Ethiopian Sympathy Support Stamp" The original announce. ment had hardly become known before there was c great deal of protest to the effect that such c move was being made to dupe collectors. The idea of support. ing the stamp was, according to q prospectus, to express Sympa- thy for tho Ethiopian cause and at the same time to bring prac- tlcal relief to the Ethiopians. The practical relief consisted in the establishment of q hospital which was to be operated by the five German Physicians and the twenty German nurses who are exilod in Ethiopia. The chosen subject for the proposed issue was c painting called "The Ra- dient Christ" It was to have been released in october, 1895 in denominations of 1, 2, 3, 1, 6, 10 and % cents but the set was frownod upon by collectors and dealers alike. Since that time the sponsor has left the country and 1t iS unlikely that many stickers have been dlstri- bnted.

and her husband Is made q cripple
along with the young girl Matte

more has been substituted for Ray

that the Englishman has the edge on
Mr.. Larimore, the latter is more than
effective in many of the scenes. Nor
is Dorothy Matthews a slouch as COM
pared to Ruth Gordon. There is, how
ever, a slight letting down in what
might be called technique.

1t is something which students of the
drama will not want to miss. In the
first place it has Pauline Lord, an
actress who is greater than most, and
one who makes the role of Zenobia
Frome something which is not easy
to forget In the second place it has
scenes which, as staged by Max Cor
don and Director Karl Nelson Qate
of National Theater Players fame),
are equally memorable.
And in the third place it has that
shedding scene into a supposed para
disc, which clinches into a mournful
finale the unfortunate love story of
a man and girl who met too late
and loved rather too little than too
well.
A LII these things combine to make
the Owen and Donald Davies
dramatization of the Edith Wharton
novel a significant evening in the
theater. The humor is slight, the
theme almost infantile in propor-
ton. But the way in which the
harsh, stern mannerisms of the north
country are combined with Names
innate gallantry will be appreciated
by those who understand the way in
which Miss Wharton and the play
wrights have hit the nail upon the
head, as also the way in which the
little things (such as the pump in
the kitchen, the socks turned on Miss
Lords bed. the red gloves and the
supper which is served practically at
tea time) have been represented in
their most potent light.

Nations Deny Shipments Made,
But Spanish Forces Get Arms
Only Britain So Far Enf0rces Ir0n-C Clad
Embargo as Belligerents' Need
of Munitions CrO,Us.

Where do the belligerents in Spain's
civil war, now entering its sixth week,
get their arms. munitions. and ma
chimes of war?
There have been many indications
that stocks on hand when the conflict
started July Is are running low or
have been In some cases exhausted.
Madrid workers appealed to France
for more arms. There have been re-
ports that bombing planes on both
sides, lacking bombs, have resorted to
the USE of hand grenades in attacking
the enemy. Munitions statesmen were
welcomed by the rebel commander,
Gen. Emilio Mola, when he estab-
lished his headquarters at Burgos.
Sixteen nations are negotiating for
an accord that will ban entirely to
shipment of war materials to either of
the belligerents. But the hoped-for
agreement has been delayed, and so
far Great Britain. Of the big arms
producing nations, is the only one
that has put an iron-clad embargo
into effect.
Attitudes Of Nations Vary.
France has proclaimed herself de-
sirous only Of neutrality; Germany
has accepted the hands-od policy in
principle: Italy agrees to the embargo
If other powers will fall in line; Rus
sia Is long way from the battlefields;
the United States adheres to . moral"
embargo, and South American nations
work for mediation.
The answer to the question, "Who
Is shipping arms to Spain?" cannot
be obtained from foreign offices. 1t is
either met with fiat denial that such
shipments are being made. or with
silence.
Neither can the answer be gotten
from the munitions makers, in most
countries subject to severe penalties
II they export arms without govern
ment license for each shipment.
Yet 1t Is no secret that munitions
factories are working at top speed
throughout Europe. And the Spanish

have caused havoc in cities the length

The refugees said the military COM
mander at Palma authorized the NAL
lorca radio station to broadcast q
warning that the government forces
had landed near Porto Cristo during

Rebel troops stationed strategically
along the railroad. they said, rushed to

they could reach the town Of Manacor,
80 miles from Palma.
Throughout the day, the Americans
said, Palma lacked specific news Of
the battle. The fugitives said they
waited anxiously until after midnight,
when the radio broadcast news Of the
rebel victory and announced the gov

The Americans said Palma was IN

VATICAN CITY, August 22.-High
Vatican officials branded as "atrocious
mockery" tonight the appeal Of Juan
Garcia Morales, q priest and former
Spanish Deputy, for Catholic aid on
the side of the Madrid socialist gov
ernment.
The socialist priest. In . radio
broadcast at Madrid, asserted his
brothers of the cloth aided fratricidal
war while accumulating wealth.
An authoritative statement issued ut
the Vatican declared:
with regard to the substance of
what was said over the Spanish radio,
it may be asked If the principles of
fraternity, humanity and poverty, pro-
claimed as necessary by the church,
really have been possessed by those
who In these days have destroyed all
churches and shot. burned and cruci-
fed large numbers Of priests, monks
and nuns.
"An appeal to Catholics for help in
the name Of these principles, the gov
ernment at Madrid against the (rebeD
nationals, has no other value than
that Of atrocious mockery."
