Italy WillNot ConquerE Ethiopia
Says Returned Missionary
NEWSPAPERS
ARE MISLEADING

Italy's war with Ethiopia will IN
volve years Of fighting and ma :. :
or reach the goal Of outright
quest. The rainy season starts i.
June and lasts four months. During
this season mud and water are often
rp to ones hips and the Italians can
not hope to advance far enough by
June. This Is the opinion of a Min.
neapolis man who has returned after
four years in the beleagured eoun-
try.
Through the misleading nnists of
propaganda, prejudice and plain ig-
norance, Rev. Mr.. Donald Davises, q
missionary on furlough, brought to
the Colored citizens of Minneapolis
in lecture Thursday evening at
Border M. E. Curch. The speaker
brought out to his audience q first
hand account Of Ethiopian people,
customs and affairs. In explanation
OF the many conflicting accounts
which have come from there. he said
that dispatches from Italian sources
are strictly censored; while on the
Ethiopian side, most correspondents
are not permitted outside Adds Aba.
ba, get only hearsay accounts Of bat
ties, and then find only crude facil-
tiles for sending their stories. Ma
tives are suspicious Of whites and
don't talk much.
"Threeforths of Ethiopia is well
worth fighting for" Mr.. Davies said.
"ft is wonderful agricultural land
and is rich in coal, iron and oil,
though the reports Of gold and silver
are exaggerated. But serving as bar
riers to armies that would siege this
rich prize are deserts in the south
and east and mountain sleeps in the
north, from which a few natives
could stand of thousands Of invad-
ers.
"The Ethiopisns have been prepsr-
in for a long time," he said. 81 re-
call fully three wears ago, the native
missionaries would tell US that thew
would be in a war with Italy. We
couldn't believe them, but the natives
were right. They began arming and
storing M for the present conflict.
PRAISES EMPEROR
Mr.. Davies said that the Emperor
was splendid ruler, that he was the
real power in Ethiopian, and since
his coronation he has inaugurated
many reforms. A fine shcool system
is slowly but firmly being built up
by the government. NEARLY every
native has q rifle and some annmuhi-
ton. There are plenty Of machine
guns but few cannon and airpla-es.
Mr.. Davies said the stories of c'av-
cry are far overdrawn, most OF t',,rl
lealing with conditions 20 years go.
accounts of native atrocities are also
wildly exaggerated; Halle Selassie.
despite hints that he might be de-
posed, Is highly respected by his
people and in no danger Of losing
his throue.
To show the sentiment against
slavery, Mr.. Davies said that shortly
before he left Debro Marcos, $50
miles north Of Adds Ababa, trader
who had several slaves was executed.
A fifteen minute period was given
for asking questions which the speak
or answered.
Mo. Davies, a graduate Of Central
high school and of Wheaton College,
went to Ethiopia for the Sulan inter-
Tor mission, non-sectarian organiza-
ton with American headquarters at
Brooklyn. Mr.. Davies is q SON of Mr..
and Mrs. G. N. Davies Of Christmas
Lake.

ADAMS TO SELL
 OUT AS BOSTON HOCKEY OWNER
RacetraCk Owner Gave Up Braves and Bruins
 Since l035

Boston, Sept. 24-(UP)-C Charles F. Adams, president of the Boston Bruins Major League Hockey team, has announced he has decided to sell his interests in the club to the present stockholders.
 Principal stockholders include his son, vice President Weston w. Adams, and General Manager Arthur H. Ross and Treasurer Ralph F. Brukhard.
 It was understood the younger Adams would be named to succeed his father as president of the club at meeting of stockholders to be called at an early date.
 The Elder Adams, prominent Bos- ton sports and chain store magnate, organized the Bruins and purchased the franchise in 1924 and was in- strumental in getting other Ameri- can cities interested in a major Hockey league. He recealed a year ago that he intended to withdraw from the Bruins because of heavy pressure of his other business in- terests.
 Adams, majority stockholder of the Eastern Racing association, operators of the Suffolk Downs horse race track, and until year ago president of the then Boston Braves, said he had received many offers for the Bruins but decided to give the present active operating management first opportunity to buy his interests in the club.

NkUGkTUCK TO OPEN GRID YEAR
 WITH GILBERT
Game in Winsted Satur- day; Trick Plays May
 Feature Foley Attack

Naugatuck, September "A = The Naugatuck High school football team will start it's grid season Sat- urday when 1t meets Gilbert High at Winsted. Although the opening of the local football season is only a few days away, there has been little ballyhoo of the contest.
 The reason apparently is that the calibre of the team here is in doubt. Persons who have viewed the ma terial Coach Peter J. Foley has to work with are not too impressed.
 It seems probable that Coach Foley will depend considerably on trick plays as his team will not be very heavy. The local team had its most disastrous season in many years last year and local fans are waiting to be shown whether or not a similar season will result this year.
 Attendance at local games fell of sharply last year and apparently only a winning team can bring this back to normal. Gilbare has played one game thus far:

Today's Sports
 Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

London, September A. - (BY Wireless) = (UP) = Herr Hitler didn't get around to mentioning it at Nuremberg, but among the things Germany may take away from Eng land in the next year or two is the world land speed record.
 Nazi automotive engineers and drivers have their eyes on Sir Mai- colm Campbell's mark of little better than 300 miles an hour and are believed to be readying a car to have a go at bettering 1t. They will use a super auto-union," which is sort of a big brother of the racing machines which have dominated continental road and track racing the past two years.
 Some Machine
 An ordinary auto-union - and ordinary" is hardly the correct word, as they cost $10O, O,00O and can- not be bought without permission of the German government - is cap- able of 200 miles an hour. And they are capable of that on an ordinary road. Their acceleration is tremend- ous. It is possible to get them up to 15O and 16O miles an hour in half mile straightaway.
 Germany's bid for Campbell,s mark probably will be made in Ger many or Hungary and not on the salt beds of Utah or the sands of Daytona Beach. There are several great concrete highways which run for miles without 2 single bend near Berlin and Budapest and German drivers consider them just as suit able as Americas natural courses. The narrowness of the racing strip doesn't seem to bother them at all. They have whipped the auto-unions down these roads at 200 without even halting regular traffic.
 The honor of going for the record will. be given to Hans Won Stuck 1T Bernard Rosenmeyer. Won Stuck is nearing 70 and has been the most celebrated German driver of the past 10 years, but he has been over ,shadowed a bit by Rosemeyer this season. Bernard is in his early 2O'S. He puts the heaviest foot on the throttle of any European driver. -1r asked Sir Malcolm Campbell If he thought the Germans would suc- ceed in breaking his time. He was Of the opinion that they would - blit only if they travelled to Utah. the discovery of Utah's insignificant course" Campbell said. ''liigh speed racing was made com paratively simple. If Daytona Beach was the only course available, Iwould almost bet my last farthing that the record of 276 I set there would stand for the duration of my lifetime.

LINE TROUBLES
 PREVALENT AT !. ALL 3 SCHOOLS
Crosby Starts Season Sat- Ilrday Against Hartford;
 Wilby Opens Oct. 3
By JOHN A. CLUNEY
 Sports Editor

Early indications are that Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth high schools football teams will furnish some keen competition among themselves due to lack of a promis- ing first class outfit at any of the three institutions of learning. Crosby and Wilby have one or two letter men as 8 nucleus of a team, while Lseavenworth will put football squad on the field for the first time in the history of the technical school.
 Another excellent angle to the situation, which is not bright from a viewpoint of material, is that all three. outfits will tangle with one another. Not long ago, Leavenworth was not to be considered in the same breath with Crosby or Wilby, but football this season, may change all that. Right now, there is little to choose among the trio, assuming that the Leavenworth group coach- ed by Jake Reiger, "Jarp" O'Neil and Al Dobkins is coming along as nicely as it is reported to be.
 Plenty of Backs
 Bill Schofield at Crosby, Jimmy Lee at Wilby and Jake Reiger at Leavenworth are expected to pop up with reasonably good backf1elds, but it is line trouble that has them wearing new furrows between their eyes. At Crosby, the Borzilauskas boys, Captain Eddie and brother Fritz 8 tackle and end, are about all that is left from a sound 1885 forward wall that was well devel- oped shortly after mid-season. At Wilby, Yesinsky is the only letter man who is out for a line position, Captain Paul Devino and Macary being backs, and forming a three some around which the 1886 Green afid White football machine must be built. And odd feature of the Wilby prospective is the fact that, of A candidates for various posi- tions, not one boy signed to try out for the center position.
 At Leavenworth, backfield mate- rial is running over one another, including Kirschner, the Hill broth- err. Hoebel, Steinmetz, Hornbecker, Molin, Baker, McAtavey and Gian- eli, with Kritraitis coming along as . center after only one workout which showed promise. The line will have to be made up from Woods and McNamara, basketball regulars, Barnhart, Dougherty, Keli- hor, Nigro and Krasnovsky.
 <, Saturday Game
 Crosby will open the season first, against Hartford Bulkeley next Sat- urday at Hamilton Park, with Wilby starting the season out of town against Gilbert of Winsted on Octo- Der 3, and Leavenworth opening the season at Hamilton Park against Woodrow Wilson of Middletown on Friday, October 9th. Wilby's sched- ule follows:
 October 3-Winsted (away).
 October 10-Ansonia (away).
 October 17-Naugatuck (here).
 October 22-Roxbury, Jrs. (away). October 31-Weaver (away).

more or less a society event

attendance list reads more like
the social register, headed by
the President of the United

the common farmer would be
interested because he could feel
that he had real part in it.

1853 "within rifieshot of Plym-

shrewdness was enlivened by
early travel and adventure. At

and later at The Hague by John
Adams. He made a tour of
Europe and travelled in Eastern
America, setting down his ex-
periences in one of the most i'm
ptrtant memoirs of the time.
