 Third Serious Attack

On Wednes. day lt was announced ct RoTno that Italian troops on Tuesday repelled m attack by warriors on the garri- son south of Addis AbAba.

 Rome, July 3i.--(Up)-More than 1000 Ethiopians were Killed in an attack on Adds Ahaba on Wednes- day, authorized messages from the Ethiopian capital said today.
 The messages described the ats tack as c futile attempt at revolt headed by the son of Kas Kassa, Ethiopian military leader during the war.
 He led tho attackers in the belief that tho EthiopiAns in Adds Ababa would revolt, the messages said, but the latter joined the Italians in re- puIsing the attack. Many prisoners were taken, including tho Abuna (head prieat) Petro, from Dessye.

 while I was on my cruise, I read in Q newspaper that was to be 70. celved with all the honors custoIn- aFily rendered to . foreign ruler. Your excellency, I am grateful for the honors: but something within me rebelled at the word foreign
 "I gay this because when I have been in Canada, l have never heard Q Canadian refer to an American as q foreigner He b just en Amer ican.' And, in the same way, in tho United States, Canadians are not 'foreigners' they are 'CanAdians.'
 "That simple little distinction il- lustrated to me better than any. thing else the relationship between our two countries.
 "On both sides of the line we are 90 accustomed to an undefended boundary 5000 miles long that we are inclined perhaps to minimize it's vast importance, not only to our own continuing relations but also to the example which it sets to the other nations of the world"
 No Passports Needed
 The president turned to Lord Twcedsmuir and observed that Canadians and Americans visit each other each year by the hundreds of thousands - but, more important, they visit each other without the necessity of passports.
 Moreover, he declared, the recent ly signed reciprocal trade agreement between the United States and Cano ada is tangible evidence of the de- sire of the people of both countries to practice what they preach when they speak of the good neighbor.
 Mir. Roosevelt then expressed rec gret over the death of King George V. of Great Britain, asserting that this loss was keenly felt in the United States.
 A moment later he addressed the premier of quebec, Adelard God bout and Mayor J. E. dregoire, in French.
 Translation Of French
 Translated, his French remarks were.
 "The words of kindness which you have addressed to me in the name of your great province and of your beautiful city, and which you Rd. dress through me to the people of the United States, touch me deeply: and I beg you to believe that I am deeply sensible of the warmth of your welcome.
