Immediately the nations of the little

enforce. The British and French dele

spective governments in the embroglio.
The league was helpless, and having
received the discouraging report of

PEELED to confess it could not find
means of attaining peace. France will
not consent to the imposition of mill
tary sanctions, and Great Britain natur-
ally win not undertake to enforce them
by herself. 1t appeared the poor Ethio-
plans were to be abandoned to their
fate, meaning the extinction of their
empire and their exploitation by Italy.
The council adopted resolution re-
GREETING it's inability to end the war,
reminding league members that they
should continue the sanctions and ask
ing Italy to be generous in bringing the
conflict to close.
Anthony Eden in his address to the
council warned France that she might
expect from Great Britain no further
support against aggression by Germany
than France had given against Italy.
From the north, south and west the
italian armies were advancing on Ad-
dis Ababa, and the panic stricken CIV
ilian inhabitants of the capital were
fleeing from the city. Foreigners sought
shelter in the bomb-proofed British
legation. The mayor issued all the
arms available and the government
called on all able men to make last
stand for liberty, saying lit is better
t. die than to be enslaved."

British Budget Highest

to the British cabinet and later to parli-

almost four billion dollars, the highest
since 1881. The huge rearmament pro-

1t certain there will be no relief from
present taxation burdens.
No estimate has yet been presented

spent in 1886 on strengthening the
fighting forces. All that is known is
that the air forces part of the program
will cost about $5o,00O,0OO this year.

may bring the aggregate for 1886 up to

the boy who stood on the burning deck.
He probably had business elsewhere
and his folks must have warned him
about playing around with fire, but he
persisted just the same.
That's fine way to get reputation,
but it's not old Parson Bradley's way.
If anybody should ask him what is
his way, the best he could do in the
shape of snappy comeback would be
to nifty that it is something he has
not been having recently but that prob
ably is beside the point. What is right
on top of the point is the fact that the
venerable Parson is about to pick some
winners and he Is not the sort Of per-
son to fool around with burning decks
piled high with the figures of experts.
Instead he is going to hop right

to win. So-just to show what he cared
for figures-he picked the Giants. That
left only the Pirates, Dodgers and
Phils for the Cubs to attend to (since
the Reds and Bees always can handle
their own losing). So, naturally, the
Cubs won the pennant.
This season the same system is be-
ing used at the earnest request of Mr..
Horace Stoneham, owner of the Giants.
Even though Mr.. Sam Breadon, who
collects the receipts Gf any in st.
Louis, does not like it, the Parson first
must be true to his home-towners. So
he is selecting the Cards to win and
the Cubs to finish second.
That finishes the National league, or
would if the magnates did not insist
upon playing 154-game schedule. Now
we can take up the opposition circuit.

Tigers Should Win

Hitherto when asked to name the
winners of this younger organization
(Which quite often also is known as
the American league) the Parson has
displayed his versatility as an expert
by maintaining dignified silence. That
he could do this, while besieged by
frenzied customers, does not mean that

body though.
From what he could gather while So

heard different.
The Colonel spends most of his time
lodging in and out from under the
grandstand to inquire hoarsely of total
strangers, How we doing?" do you
think we're gonna hold that five-run
lead?" and questions of similar import.
That shows he is not an expert either
and so he could be a fellow to string
along with when he starts announcing.
