Judge Advocate General
Inspects Naval Reserves
Department Legal Officer Reviews Battalion
at Navy Day Ceremonies
in ArnnOry.

, Of the Naval Reserve and the same
method OF administration as Is used
by the War Department in connec-
ton with the National Guard, it was
pointed out that this is based on .
lack of understanding of the divergent
policies governing the Army and Navy
in preparation for war. The differ
ence, it was said, can be explained by
stating that the mission Of the Navy
Is to train itself for war. The Navy,
as the first line of national defense,
must be ready for rapid mobilization
The Navy personnel, both Regular
and Reserve, must be kept at high
percentages Of mobilization require
ments. It was added that q greater
intensity Of training also Is required.
1t is explained further that the
Naval Reserve is for the purpose Of
furnishing additional trained men to
fill vacancies in the feet, naval trans
portation service and shore stations.
It is not contemplated that Naval Re-
serves will fight as separate organiza-
tons.
On the other hand, 1t was asserted,
the primary mission Of the Army is to
train civilian components to provide
for the necessary war expansion. Be-
hind the first line Of defense estab-
lished by the Navy the Reserves of the
Army can be modified more leisurely.
The Army Reserves are expanded to
fight as separate organizations, under
their own officers.
The National Guard, is was added
in further explanation. is composed OF
organized State militia and in time of
peace is a State force, administered
by State officials. under the general
supervision of National Guard officer
at the head of militia bureau in the
War Department.
1t is only necessary, 1t was said, to
note the composition of the Naval Re-
serve to realize that the National
Guard system of State administration
could not be applied to the Naval Re-
serve. The Fleet Reserve, composed
of transferred Regular Navy enlisted
men, is purely Federal force. The
Merchant Marine Naval Reserve could
not. under any consideration, be sub
ject to State administration. The
Volunteer Reserve of the Navy, which
corresponds generally to the Organized
Reserves of the Army, should be adj
ministered federally. the same as the
sytem used by the Army for the cor
responding branch Of the Reserves.

on to determine which division of the
battalion will be awarded the honor Of
carrying the battalion colors next year

ment among the officers and enlisted
men of the three divisions. One of
the factors in the competition will be
the appearance of the divisions at the

should it?" he asked. What can be done within the framework of the league to police savage coun- tries is just nothing. The league can no more police Ethiopia up to Eu- ropean standards than it can police our own Indian frontiers or our Sudanese frontier, where we keep bombing away at the unfortunate natives without ever dreaming of consulting the league. Do ask me some sensible questions now that you have the chacnce."
 One Foolish Idea
 Shaw was asked what he thought of the idea of Britain transferring to Italy some of her mandated ter ritory in exchange for an equitable settlement of the Ethiopian prob lem. T think 1t is surprisingly foolish one," he said. "Who made 1t? Even if an equitable settlement were possible, how does the transfer follow?" It was suggested that if Benito Mussolini were placated, he might oppose Adolf Hitler's desire for colonial territory.
 Go away" said Shaw. "A clum- sier and more stupid attempt to em- broil Hitler and Mussollni would be hard to conceive. If embodiment is considered necessary, is there not Austria.?"
 Why Hitler Acted
 Shaw was asked whether, if the Italian-Ethiopian problem were not solved, Hitler might not try a peace full occupation of some of Germany's colonies.
 Nonsense" said Shaw. Herr Hit Ter marched into the Rhineland just as he rearmed the reich because he was clever enough to see that the powers would not fight to maintain the subjugatory clause of the Ver- sailles treaty A march into the Ger man colonies would involve him in stantly in war with the British em- pire."

Confer on Safety

Hartford, Conn, April 27-(UP)- A round-table discussion of methods of curbing the increasing number of highway accidents and deaths, was held otday by the governors com mission on street and highway safety, in conference with safety groups from many cities and towns.
 "The work that can be done by local safety committeesg." said Col. Samuel H. Fisher, chairman of the commission, is the most important phase of Connecticut's attack upon its street and highway motor acci- dent problems. This meeting was called to obtain the assistance of such groups as are already active, in order that any program recommend ed by the commission may have the practical benefit of experience in dealing with these problems"
 Col. Fisher declared the need of permanent and persistent effort to- ward reduction of the hazards on our streets and highways" and recom- mended the system utilized at Evanston, H., as adaptable to any community.
 Learning by trial and error and balanced along the three lines of en- consistently applying this knowledge. forcement, engineering and educa- tion, Evanston, after years of effort, has become the safetyk small city in the United States" he said.

wounded in weekend rioting in various parts of the country incl dent to the election.
 Vienna, April 27 - (U.P) - A ruthless fascist purge involving not only Austrian Nazis but army off, cers, remnants of the old democra- tic regime and advisers of Chan cellor Kurt Schuschnigg, was be- lieved imminent today. Prince Ernst Won Starhemberg, vice chancellor and strong man of the government gave clear warning of the purge in a speech at Horn, near the Czecho- slovak border, on the occasion of the conversion of his 10000 fascist Heimwehr troops into a national militia. After reviewing picked men of the organization yesterday, Star hemberg warned:
 Over His Dead Body
 'Saboteurs of the authoritarian (fascist) state wish to dissolve the militia. This will occur only over my dead body. We have not given hun dreds of lives to forestall bolshevism in order to hand the state over to democratic corruptionists. 'The at- tempt of certain persons to snug gle the old party corruptionist spirit into the new state we accept as a battle challenge. These elements should eralize there is 8 place for them in our concentration camps.
 "A 100 per cent authoritarian state is the only alternative to nag ism or bolshevism. The Heimwehr is the backbone of the Fatherland front and the militia is the support of the commander of the fatherland front (Starhemberg himselr in putting through the program of the new state.'
 He declared his complete loyalty to Chancellor Schuschnigg. "Our loyalty is such that we are ready to defend him even against some of those who surround him." Star hemberg said significantly. Thus Starhemburg indicated that he was determined to keep as his own force the Heimwehr, now the na- tional militia, to force through the fascist state program. It was indi- cated that in addition to pursuing his drive against the nazis, he would ask Schuschnigg - possibly today-to dismiss not only some army officers opposed to the Heim- wehr but some of his own advisers who do not relish it's power.
 Starhemberg's speech came coin- cidently with reports in diplomatic quarters that Austro- German re- conciliation was imminent. It was asserted that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler already has approached the gov- ernment with an offer to pledge respect for Allstria's borders and to refrain from interfering in Aus tria's internal affairs,

ture of the group of water wells called Sasa Baneh, key to the Ital- ian objective-the Harar-Jijiga line and the Adds Ababa-Djibouti rail- way.
 Soon afterward the troops of Gen. Frusci's vanguard effected contact with the strong field Qualifications of Sasa Baneh itself.
 Gen. Frusci's men, advancing directly northward to the main de- fense of Sasa Baneh, have met stubborn resistance. Official dis patches said that not since the be- ginning of the war has the Italians met a force which showed such fighting spirit, high morale, tech- nical skill through preparation for defense.
 They took Hamalei, important pivotal point in the advance net work of Sasa Baneh's Notifications, by storm with the bayonet and then resumed their advance on Sasa i, Baneh proper.
 Among the casualties were two volunteers from abroad. Their names were not mentioned.
 The sixth battalion of FruSci's division, somali natives, lost 40 per cent of it's electives. Two white officers were among the killed.
 Gen. Agostini's division captured Gum Agado on the right flank, in a battle in which the Philippians lost 500 killed or wounded. None surrendered unhurt, and no un- wounded warrior was left.
 Mopping up the ground, the 1tal- fans killed one by one, with the bayonet, numerous snipers hidden in the caves, trees and holes dug in the ground.
 On the Italian left, the troops of Gen. Verne occupied the whole Daggah Modo area west of Sasa Baneh after heavy fighting in which the Philippians counter attacked in great force, but vainly.
 The three main columns, accord- ing to the official dispatches, had lost II white officers killed and IT wounded, and about 730 white and native troops killed or wounded.
