Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, is
expected to be in Italian
hands by the weekend.
The motorized columns formed by
Marshal Pietro Badoglio for the
final phase of the campaign were
approaching the capital steadily and

Planes Deliver Reports
Occasionally an airplane swept
down near the column and dropped
carefully packed packages of spare
parts for the trucks.
Entire rivers flowed across the
roads. AT each river, soldiers poured
out of the column and constructed
fords with roots and branches.
Details of so men or so were left
at each river. They waded into
the water, got in front of the cars,
on each side of them and behind
them and the cars almost were
thrown across.

There was every indication that,

drama this weekend.
The heavy rains will be the great

AL Barton Brought Here for
Questioning by De-
tectives.
WOUNDED PAL HUNTED
Confederate Is Believed to
Be Hiding Somewhere
in Indianapolis.
WOUNDED PAL HUNTED

Preliminary hearing for AL Barton
25-year-old farm hand, charged
with the Staying of Sergt Richard
Rivers, was to be this afternoon in
Municipal Court. The detective de-
partment was expected to ask for q
continuance of the case, pending
further investigation.
Police hope definitely to establish
the right name of the suspect who
apparently has gone under innum-
cradle aliases, among them Brady.
Brought from Chicago, where he
was captured, Barton was ques-
toned by relays of detectives seek
ing to find the hideout of wound
ed confederate believed to be hiding
in Indianapolis.
Twelve deputy sheriffs were
planted at former gang head
quarters, and police were checking
underworld haunts throughout the
city.
Brunei Also Held
Held with him on a vagrancy
charge was Mrs. Margaret Barry,
2l-year-old brunei, who, police
said, left her husband at the New
Orleans Mardi Gras to join the
desperate. She was held under
$4,000 bond, and is to appear in
court with Barton.
An Indianapolis garage owner.
Chester Hart, 26, confessed TODAY.
according to detectives, that he
stored bandit automobiles at 1927
w. Westinghouse. and helped them
in their getaways. His wife was
said to have had in her possession
some of the loot stolen by the
bandits at Lima CO.. robbery Po-
lice slated both as accessories to
the murder.
In raid at Harris home, 81 S..
Lyndhurst-dr, today, police claimed
they found remnants of jewelry
boxes which had been burned. These,
they said, apparently wela taken in
the Lima robbery. Detectives also
found a gold watch and a shotgun
at the Hart home.
Following a preliminary in Mu-
nicipal Court 3 this morning, the
cases Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hart were
continued until May IL on motion
OF the state.
Carton is reported to have said
his three accomplices were James
Marvin and Lee Jackson, who he
said still might be in Chicago, and
Elmer Martin, confined to an In
dianapolis hideout with gun wounds.
Bandits Seek AiG
Martin received the wounds either
in the Lima robbery or during the
battle in front of DR.. e. E. Roses
home, 2153 Barth-av, it was
thought. 1t was during the latter
melee that Sergt. Rivers was killed.
The bandits had gone to the ply
sician's residence to seek treat.
ment for a wounded confederate.
In reconstructing the crime this
morning, Chief Morrissey said Bar
ton apparently was the actual
slayer.
There is every indication that
the bullets which killed Rivers
came from inside the porch" he
said. Barton was the only one in
side, I believe. Holes left by the
bullets showed the mesh was forced
out. This indicates that they were
not made by slugs fired at the
house."
James E. Watson, deputy prose-
cutting attorney, returned from Chi
cago early this morning with the
stolen automobile in which Barton
escaped to that city, Watson said

LOUISVILLE, KY, May /.
Nineteen 3-year-old thor
0ughbreds, headed by Joseph
RE. Widener's heavy favorite
Brevity, today were nominal
ed for the sixty-second run
ming of the Kentucky Derby
tomorrow at Churchill Downs.
That number was not expected to
60 to the post, however, because a
muddy track was forecast. James l..
Kendall. meteorologist, predicted
there will be showers tomorrow with
today and tonight cloudy with pos
sible rains. This would prevent the
already soggy track from drying out.
There were only two surprise en-
tries-Mrs, P. B. Widener's Dnieper,
which will run coupled with Brevity,
and Seventh Heaven, an unknown
filly owned by w. c. Goodloe.
Seventh Heaven, which, with Fox
catcher Farms Gold Seeker, brings
the number OF FLIES to two, was
nominated one minute before the
entries closed.
If the track is heavy. it's likely
that only about IA will start.
Brevity continued to rule a 6-5
favorite today with the entry of
Granville, Teufel and Merry Pete
next at 6-1.
Holl Image, owned by the SUI
perior Stable, was the thirteenth
horse placed in the nomination box.
Jack Carter, trainer, complained
that his rider, H.. w. Fisher, quit
him last night and that he still was
looking for a jockey.
Carter dropped his entry into the
box after Darrell Cannon, trainer of
Maj. Austin c. Taylor's Indian
Broom, had waited eight minutes
Tor some other stable to make the
thirteenth entry. Indian Broom,
Western speedster, was the four
teenth nominee.

willing to forego short-run profits
for the sake of peace. The neces-
sary legislation must be adopted
before any war danger comes upon
US.
No legislation will make it GER
tain that we shall avert war. But
this is another quarantine against
it. In time Of war it seems to me
that the protection Of the dough-
boy should be put above the pro-
lection of the dollar.
The time has come to face for
eign conditions realistically. Ma
tions are suspicious Of one another
and fearful of one another. Eco
nomic hationalism is rampant. Die
tatorship Is crowding out demo-
cratic governments. Certain nations
live under Fascist dictatorship,
others under Communist DICTATOR
ship. We recognize that every peo-
pie has the right to choose its own
form Of government. But we in our
country will have nothing to do
with either of these alien philos-
ophies. We believe in government
by and for the people.
To be able as a neutral to exert
an influence for peace we must
have government which is trust
ed at home and abroad. We must
mind our own business. AS Theo-
dore Roosevelt said, we must not
become Meddlesome Matty.
Without arrogance we must support
our own rights. We must take no
action that would injure others. In
seeking our own prosperity we must

others limit and reduce theirs. In
such ways as these we can help to
lessen the danger Of . general
war.
Still another contribution Is to
assist in lowering world wide
trade barriers and re-establishing
healthy economic conditions. Eco
nomic misery keeps nations restless
and uneasy. As I have repeatedly
said, a revival of world trade is an
aid to the preservation Of peace. I
pledge myself to do everything in
my power to bring this about. 1t
Is an obligation we owe first OF all
to America, and then to the world.
But If war should come. what then?
What can we do to stay out?
Two policies have been urged.
One is that of complete. or nearly
complete. isolation. The other Is
the development Of our policy Of
neutrality. Isolation Is unfair to
our own people and impossible.
In this modern world no nation can
be isolated. Neutrality cannot be
an absolute guarantee Of peace.
Nevertheless, I believe it holds out
one of the great hopes
The doctrine of neutral rights
has been one Of slow growth. AS
international trade developed ma
tions began to insist on the inter-.
ests of belligerents. Thus they
sought to localize not only the ac-
tual war area itself but also its
harmful though indirect effects
upon trade and commerce. This
was and is the way of progress.
Thus there grew up set OF rules
and principles for governing the
conduct OF neutrals. These have
nothing to do with the sympathies
which a nation may have. They
have nothing to do with the much
talked of war guilt. They aim SIM
ply at stopping the warning nations
from interfering with the interests
and welfare of neutral nations.
They aim at keeping the neutrals
from being drawn into the conflict.
Specific pledges not to 60 TO war
under any condition, risk encourag-
ing belligerents to attempt agrees
sion which would, in fact, precipi-
tate us into war. In view Of our
enormous potential strength, DEM

was an early supporter Of the
League. His position on Ameri-
can foreign relations as on SO
many other vital questions, is still
undisclosed. But the Republican
party at Cleveland definitely de-
clared against both League and
World Court membership. Under
my administration, with those
issues finally settled, we can go
forward along our normal course
within the family of nations Of
which we are member.
Confidence in our good faith Is
especially needed in our relations
with the nations of the two Amer
icas. We must not become arro-
CANT or presume on our size or our
power to obtain something that is
not our due. We have been ac-
cused of Imperialism because from
time to time we have landed troops
in Latin America. The accusation
is not true. Nevertheless, I am
glad our troops are now all at
home.
In this hemisphere there must
be the fullest cooperation for
peace. We must point the way
by scrupulous fairness in our
dealing with others. 1t will be
my purpose, when elected, to make
the United States in reality. to
use John jays term, a good neigh
bor at Latin America.
Another way in which We can
work toward world peace is by
cooperating in the reduction Of
armaments. We led the way in the
Washington Naval Limitation Con-
ference. We must continue to work
in this direction whenever the op-
portunity offers. At the same time
We must fully maintain our own
defenses. We have already reduced
our land forces to the absolute
minimum. We have always been
ready to limit and reduce our ma
val forces and shall continue to be
ready, but only in proportion as
Evening star., 1936-10-25

If mediation fails, nations may
still turn to arbitration. We in
America have used this method
with success scores OF times Tor
more than 100 years. We should
make this machinery more nearly
perfect and seek to bring other
nations to the same view. We
should extend, as fast as wisdom
allows, the framing of rules and
principles governing the interna-
tional relations of peace. AS this
field of law grows, we should make
larger the number of subjects over
which compulsory arbitration
might extend.
This is the direction in which
measures for the peaceful settle
ment of international disputes may
wisely and effectively be pushed
forward.
Main Obstacle to Bring
Disputes to Arbitration.
Much has been said of the need
for a sanction to compel nations
to observe awards made against
them. Experience has demon
strated that no penalty is neces-
sary. The great obstacle to be
overcome is not the carrying out
of the awards. 1t is to persuade
the nations of the world to bring
their disputes to arbitration. The
greatest service which our country
can render for the doing away
with war is to encourage by every
honorable means within our power,
except the use Of armed force, the
arbitration of international dis
putes. To this end we must de-
vote our utmost efforts.
AS for ourselves, while we have
been leaders in the settlement Of
disputes by arbitration, we can
not use the World Court. Those
many fine men and women of both
parties, who in the past have de-
sired American membership in the
Court. will, I am sure, agree that
circumstances have changed. Some
of the judges Of the Court now rep
resent relationships, not demo-
cratic governments. 1t was always
difficult to keep political influences
out of the Court. 1t is impossible
now. The United States could not
be involved in political court.
But there are other ways to help
the world keep the peace. We must
restore international confidence in
the good faith of the American
Government. This has been shat
tered by the contradictions of the
present administration.
The President ruthlessly dis
rupted the London Economic
Conference by refusing to accept
from the conference the very pro-
posals which he. himself, had
made. Only last year he overrode
the neutrality legislation he. him.
self had sponsored. He attempt
ed to put the United States in the
forefront of the sancuonist pow
ers against Italy. His action made
it probable that if war had come
we would have been involved.
Once this good faith has been
restored, there will be special oc-
casions in the future, as there
have been in the past, when We
can be helpful in settling inter-
national difficulties.
We are always ready to take
part in international conferences
