the northern front, and have made no
progress in the south AS matter
of fact, the Italians have gained
very little since the first month of
the war, and it seems to have helped
them but little that a new general
was assigned to the task of conquer
ing EthiOpia-almost two months ago.
Whatever victories were won, were
those of General Emilio de Bono who
cause he did not move swiftly enough
to satisfy the supreme war lord,
Prime Minister Benito MussOlini.
Marshall Pietro Bacpglio, de Bono's
successor, has not yet accomplished
nearly as much as did the general
who was recalled.
Probably recognizing the futility of
making a penetration with the army,
the Italians have recently taken to
the air, and they are now said to be
making number of airplane raids,
but the strange fact is that in each
case very few fatalities are reported.
1t may be that the Ethiopians have
learned the art of lodging the bombs
and, too, are employing their time
tested method of scattering instead
of appearing in great mass forma-
tions.
Alliances.
There is current a great deal of
talk about secret alliances being dis
cussed. Talks between France and
Germany as we'll as between Germany
and Great Britain are still in pro-
gress for the purpose of reaching
some sort of an understanding" the
FrancO-German conversations are re-
ported directed against Russia.
Then this week a story appeared to
the effect that Japan and Germany
already had reached informal agree
ment about an alliance-against Rus
sia 1t was officially denied, but the
rumor persists.
Finally, it has been learned, that
France has pledged complete mill
tary support to Great Britain in case
of a conflict with Italy on the alleged
condition that Great Britain promises
to send troops to the Franco-German
border if French troops must be sent
to Africa to help the British.
How much truth there is in all
this, no one can discover right now,
but in view of the talo-Ethiopian
conflict, talk of new international
consultations is not entirely without
interest-which is not saying that a
general war is probable in any near
future Such facts as are available
indicate that the fear of an imminent
war beyond that between Italy and
Ethiopia is inspired, by more or less
professional alarmists.
