Mussolini Is gearing his war machines
"in readiness" for eventualities.
Well-informed Austrian circles as
serted recently that Mandel had de-
livered munitions to the Spanish Fas-
cist. rebels. But they were insistent
that the shipments had not been made
from Austria.
The French government, pressing
for neutrality, banned shipments to
either belligerent. AS an indication
that the ban is effective, diplomats
point to the protest Of French NUM-
tions workers who complained because
they were prevented from making
arms for the Madrid government
troops.
In some French plants the workers
offered to work on their days OF,
without pay, to assist the Spanish
Loyalists, and the employees Of an
airplane factory even offered to pay
the cost Of two planes in addition to
donating their labor.
In Italy, munitions plants are al
most entirely owned by the govern
ment. The aviation factory near
Genoa makes planes of the Savoia-
Marchetti type. some of which recently
landed in French Morocco on their
way to the Spanish zone. In Paris
and Madrid 1t was charged that more
than 20 of such planes are in use by
the rebels.
This factory Is working overtime,
although hitherto overtime work al
lowed munitions plants has been per-
mitted only to meet special wartime
conditions. The overtime Is now
limited to 20 hours weekly, and, it
is said, on October l will cease alto
gether with the plant returning to
the regular 40-hour week.
British Planes "Unloaded.s
In Great Britain. before the arms
embargo was clamped down q few days
ago, ofncials admitted that a few sec
ond-hand airplane dealers drove hard
bargains with Spanish partisans, un-
loading q number of outmoded war
planes at fancy prices.
Oficially. 1t is declared that not q
single cartridge turned out by Brit
ish workmen has been exploded In
Spain.
On the other hand. the Spanish
government in Madrid. in a radio
broadcast. charged that the rebels had
used British manufactured poison gas
bombs, and asserted several such
bombs were in its possession for pos
sible presentation, with q protest, to
the League of Nations.
As for export Of small arms, British
ofncials say that Is impossible, as the
regulations covering their sale are so
stringent that even policemen are
armed only with night sticks.
In Germany 1t has been denied OH
cially that arms, planes, or munitions
have been shipped to Spain. But the
Spanish government again has
charged that German planes have
flown from the rebel stronghold At
Seville.

MUSsOLINI INSPECTS ELBA

Plane Base.


Plane Base. -.
ROME, August ~ @.-Premier
Mussolini today few to the Island Of
Elba as observers wondered whether
II Duce planned to establish another
seaplane base there.
This speculation was caused by
Mussolini taking with him on the
flight Achille Starache, secretary Of
the Fascist party. and Gen. Giuseppe
Vale. undersecretary Of the air min
istry.
1t was explained. however, that II
Duce had flown to Elba merely to in
spect some iron mines which he
planned to develop.
Diplomatic observers particularly
we're interested in foreign reaction to
Italian insistence that financial con-
tributions and enrolment of volun-
teers for either Spanish cause be con-
strued as violating neutrality.
The italian reply to the French
neutrality proposal reserved the right
to make further comments on such
forms Of indirect Intervention" and
called for adherence to the pact by
other European nations manufactur-
ing arms.

While at Elba, Mussolini visited the
shrine of Napoleon and ordered new
memorials to his acknowledged hero.

Napoleon had built for himself during

School Days In England.
Born December 30. 1855, In Bombay,
India, Kipling was the son Of John
Lockwood Kipling. then newly arrived
from London to take . position Is pro-
fessor Of architectural sculpture In the
British School of Art at Bombay, and
Of Alice Macdonald Kipling. one of
four brilliant daughters of Q We1leyan
clergyman.
Sent home to school In England
when he was 6, young Rudyard had
his childhood schooling ut Portsmouth
and then attended Westward Ho Col
lege. which later served a the back
ground for his "Stalky d Co." His
eyesight failed him at 10 due to over
strain. enforcing the use of thick spec
tacles. with divided lenses, but even
with these he was unable to see clear
ly and his constant stumbling won
him the nickname of Beetle" after

everything in its path.
In 1882 he returned to India and
for seven years was an ink -splashed
sub-editor on papers at Lahore and
Allahabad. gaining fame in the coun-
try by writing on the side army bal
lads and tales Of British life In India.
Then he pulled UP stakes and tried
America
He landed in San Francisco In 1889
and for the next two years made his
way slowly across the continent, trying
to nnd = place on American news
papers. He later said he always was
rebuffed without q chance to state his
qualifications. In 1891 he sailed for
England and almost starved in a Lon.
don garret until he found q publisher
for new edition OF Plain Tales from
the Hills" 1t and his trunkful of
India pamphlets, books and poems,
sold like hot cakes.
Money permitted him to indulge the
wanderlust that had driven him from
India and in 1892 he roamed Ceylon,
Australia and the United States.
In New York he looked up Wolcott
BaleStier, q young New York author,
with whom he had shared chambers
on the Thames embankment-and fell
In love with Balestier's sister, Caroline.
They were married, and after we'd
ding trip in Japan. Kipling and his
wife settled in Brattleboro, VT, where
he wrote more than 20 volumes.
There his two children were born
and seemingly he was destined to make
his permanent home in America. But
too lavish attention from autograph
seekers sent him fleeing in 1897 to the
peaceful solitude of the Sussex Downs.
In England great bitterness came to
him, for his son, Lieut.. John Kipling
only 10. was killed In the World War
battle at Loos. The sorrowing father
endowed perpetual fund for sound
ing at Loos Last Post" the British
equivalent of Taps" and he never for
gave the Germans.
In August. 1885, he drew wrath from
of1cial Nazi newspapers which de-
scribed him as q fanatic hater of
Germans and one of the bitterest enc.
mics of Germany"

He had observed his 10th birthday
anniversary quietly at Burwash; then,
too, apparently in strong health.
He was stricken last Sunday night
at Browns Hotel and hastened to the
private Woolavington wing of the
Middlesex Hospital in London's CEN
tral "Old Soho" district for the opera
ton from which he at first rallied,
but never recovered.
The news of his death came as a
sudden shock to the whole empire.
Just q moment before he passed on,

the worlds hot spots.
Stunning publicity, hidden in q
moated and walled estate near the
sleepy village of Burwash in Sussex.
England. he became almost the for
gotten man" of literature, q silent,
shadowy figure of the past.
AS a Titan of the eos, when he
burst into the world Of letters to ban
ish the cobwebs Of suited, ornate Vic
torian literature, his works already had
become classics by the time he was
30, and his later years were virtually
an anti-climax to the bright star that
famed out of India to dazzle the world
in 1891.
Yet he was active to the last. In
1885, just SO years after the resound-
ing chords of "Recessional" immortal
lied Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee,
he wrote The King and the Sea"
in celebration of the silver jubilee Of
George v. But comparison between
the two poems. between the Kipling
of 1897 and the Kipling of 1895, was
not favorable to his waning powers,
affording new fuel for certain critics
who. from the beginning, had scoffed
at this gusty. rollicking singer of
'Barrack Room Ballads" from India.
Critics Scoff, But Public Buys
Oscar Wilde had said that Kipling
revealed life by flashes of vulgarity,"
and E. F. Benson, writing of the
Victorian era, had this to say:
Then there was Rudyard Kipling,
with the gorgeous East and the British
Empire rattling like loose change In
his trousers pockets. He took out q
coin and spun it and with a con-
jurer's patter he caught it and COW
cred 1t up with q dShcloth, and when
he raised the dishcloth the night of
full moon In the jungle among quest
ing beasts spread among us.
Nothing the least like it had been
seen before, and the critics, whose
business it was to preserve the public
from being taken in by flashing flum-
merry, warned them that this young
man from a newspaper ONCE in India
was nothing more than a journalist
with no sense of style"
But whatever the critics said, the
public-from "the colonels lady to
Judy O'Grady"-continued to buy his
works year after year, at a rate Of
more than 100000 annually, glad to
come under the supreme spell Of the
born story-teller and rhymer. with or
without benefit of critics.
Youths and grownlups alike relished
the tang Of such Kipnng phrases As
you squidgy old idol, Gunga
