Tablet Unearthed
In Ethiopia Tells
Of Rome Conquest
Relic Is Found Among
Effects of Henry
Walters.
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE. May 2.-An unusual
red sandstone tablet, lately brought to
light here, offers odd artistic evidence
that, if the Fascist legions from Rome
conquer Ethiopia, it will be but history
repeating itself.
DR.. Dorothy Kent Hill, research as
sistant in the Ancient Art Department
OF the Walters Art Gallery, disclosed
the finding Of the tablet among the
contents Of 243 cases of relics, owned
by the late Henry Walters and un-
opened until after his death.
Or. Hill said the tablet dated from
the first century, AID, and was made
while Ethiopia was under Roman
domination. On one side is a carving
OF the King of Ethiopia; on the other,
god with lions head.
Three panels Of Ethiopian writing
have not been deciphered, Dr.. Hill
said, but the sounds Of the various
symbols have been read. The inscrip-
ton, she said, apparently includes TIN
names Of Tanayizaman, the King, and
Apezamak, the lion-headed god.
The tablet, Z inches high and 3
inches wide, was found in 1909 during
excavations Of the ancient capital of
Meroe. DR.. Hill said the style of the
carving is very similar to that Of the
Egyptians. from whom the Ethiopians
derived their religion and civilization.

ITALY FORTIFIED
WITH WAR GOODS
Surplus Accumulation of
Materials Revealed in
Commerce Report.
BY the Associated Press.

6y INC ASSoCldteo FIcbb.
Oficial advices to the Commerce
Department yesterday revealed that
far from suffering q shortage Of es-
sential wartime materials, due TO
sanctions and other trade restrictions,
italy had, in fact, built up big
surplus accumulation of such stocks.
This factor was cited as the princi-
pal cause Of q recent decrease in
the quantities of such materials i'm
ported by that government to support
its war in Ethiopia. American ex-
ports to Italy for March we're nearly
million dollars less than in the same
month last year.
THE principal change in the Italian
situation during March," the depart
ment said. was the slackening Of
the importation of essential war
materials, notably petroleum products.
owing to the accumulation of heavy
stocks In earlier months. Petroleum
storage capacity Is reported to be
well filled, with increased capacity
under construction"
Industries are fairly well sustained
and official attention Is being devoted
TO the development Of new substitute
materials to take the place Of imported
products"
Government Control Continues.
The decrease in Italian buying
abroad has not been accompanied,
however, by any lessening Of the rigid
governmental control OF foreign ex-
change. Faced at the outset Of hos
tilities in Ethiopia with the necessity
Of making large purchases abroad, the
government commandeered all foreign
credits by Italians.
Italian exporters were still reported
unable in numerous instances to pay
commissions due their foreign agents
because they could not obtain the
necessary governmental consent to US
ing for that purpose any part of the
foreign exchange acquired by their
shipments to other countries.
The Commerce Department said
military supply industries, though
operating on full schedules, are less
feverishly active than in the closing
mCCltnS OF 1850.
Unemployment Growing"
Unemployment lis growing in tex
tiles. except in the rayon industry, and
in the building and construction
trades; In many businesses employees
are working on a staggered plan for
a certain number of days a week in
order to spread the available jobs" it
said
War industries remain fully oc-
cupied aud the supply of essential
raw materials is apparently sufficient.
Reserve stocks Of native goods are ap-
parently satisfactory, but those Of for
eign products are rapidly diminishing.
wholesale prices continue to in
crease, but prices of foodstuffs and
articles Of primary necessity are gen.
orally held at reasonable levels. Rail-
way electrification continues at an
accelerated rate. Shipyards continue
fully occupied with government and
foreign orders"

American Legation were keeping under
cover as much as possible, Engert
added:
II shall await developments In the
legation at present"
The Minister. who gave no indica-
ton as to the whereabouts of the
vanguard Of the Italian army, said
most of the Seventh Day Adventists
and Sudan interior missionaries, NEST
of them Americans, had decided to
remain temporarily at their own mis-
sions instead Of seeking refuge In for
eign legations.
Whether they were moved before
the fire broke out was not indicated.
-Four women members Of the Amer
ican Mission Of the United Presby.
terisn Church and one American man,
sought safety in the British Legation.
Teachers Are Protected.
In the American Legation were
three women attaches Of the Mary
Hasties School. an American insi-
tuition in Adds Ababa. With Engert
in the legation. also were his wife and

two children, who arrived there re-
Gently to visit him.
Besides the Minister, there were five
other American diplomatic officers and
the four American Navy radio men in
the legation. Most Of the remaining
Americans still in the capital were
missionaries and their families, al
though there we're two correspondents
and one aviator among them.
Engert reported seeing several bod
les and numerous wounded natives,
but said that at pm, Adds Ababa
time, he had heard Of no victims
among the foreigners.
His message dispatched at that hour
reported the return to the American
Legation of a messenger sent to head
quarters of the Seventh Day Adventist
and American missions.
He bore notes from members of
both organizations. who said they were
in no imminent danger.
Engert said another mission, the
Sudan Interior, was long way from
the city and there was no reason to
believe its occupants had been mo-
lested, although he had been unable
to communicate with them.
Drunkenness Reported.
Much drunkenness was reported as
q result of looting of liquor supplies.
At II pm, Engert said the fire was
spreading, but that its direction was
not toward the legation.
He reported a day-long stream of
thousands of natives evacuating the
city.
Most Of the damage appeared to
have been done, he said, by compara-
lively few rowdy elements who easily
could have been checked by q small
police force in the beginning.
Engert closed his II pm, message
with the information that he would
send no further bulletins until today
unless the American legation should
be endangered.
It was recalled in connection with
the present emergency in Adds Ababa
that Engert twice had warned Ameri-
can residents in Ethiopia to leave the
country. asserting that this Govern
ment could not be responsible for their
safety.
Asks New Communication.
Earlier in the day the Minister had
requested the State Department to ar
range for an additional channel Of
communication between Adds Ababa
and the United States, apparently be-
cause Of the somewhat shaky per-
formance Of the direct radio contact
with the Naval Communicates Station
at Arlington.
He asked permission to transmit
messages to the naval radio station at
Cavite, in the Philippine Islands, for
relay to the State Department. He
presumably proceeded on the theory
that the small transmission set In the
legation at Adds Ababa could commu-
nicate more satisfactorily over the
shorter distance.
The State Department Immediately
referred the request to the Navy, which
was understood to be authorizing the
necessary arrangements.
Engert advised the State Depart
naent that Ben Ames, q United Press
correspondent, reported to him that
he and his interpreter received sword
cuts while driving through the crowd
in Adds Ababa.

AS TO the bombing of the hospital.

were brought in by the score, the work.
ers at the hospital with the help Of
other Red Cross doctors who happened
TO be staying there at the time stood

the bombing were busy ones and so
major operations were performed Be-
sides this the hospital clinic treated
100 patients day for lesser injuries
in the bombing" Doctors and nurses
worked Is hours day until the emer-
gency was over.
DR.. Kern said the Ethiopians are
appreciative of the welfare work car
ried on among them. and even those
Of the widest tribes could scarcely
be expected to harm the missionaries
under normal conditions. The un-
certainties Of the situation, however,
have caused keen anxiety here.
But we are determined to carry
on the work." Dr.. Kern said "Ethi-

They are considered safe distance

the British and French have built
elaborate underground projections for

The American Legation, located on
O beautiful hillside on the opposite
side of the town, is dangerously close
to the post Office and one Of the three
Ethiopian radio stations, likely bombing
targets. A small dugout, by no means
bombproof, was built on the legation
grounds, but many Americans decided
q long time ago they would seek refuge
In the British Legation, If 1t became
necessary.
The most powerful wireless station
IN the country is located on the Amer.
ican Legation grounds. -Four Ameri-
can naval radio operators were sent to
Adds to carry on a 24-hour receiving

dio men were quietly dispatched on
September 81 for Ethiopia Even while
at sea, they were trying out their radio
apparatus to see whether they could

their equipment at Adds Ababa they
were amazed to find that they could
talk directly with their own National
Capital at once.
At Adds Ababa now are: Chief
Radioman Walter E. Tanner, 81 years

and the sister of Dr.. Bergman, who
died after an operation.
AS the bombing danger was believed
to be increasing, the American mis-
sions all covered their roofs with
prairie grass in an effort to deceive
the Italian pilots. Trenches were dug
on the grounds, where patients would
be moved in event Of bombing.

centrated In this area. Extending
northward from the square is the old
market place, an especially crowded
area on Saturdays. All kinds of ami

be bought, and one typical sight Is

Street Two Miles Long.
The main thoroughfare of Adds,
Makonnen street, named for the En-
peror's father, winds from Star Of
Halle Selassie place" to Menenk
Square. It Is about 2 miles long,
and one of the few paved streets In
the town. The shops Of Greeks and
Armenians, little ranshackle build
ings, line both sides.
Just beyond Menelik Square Is the
old palace of Menelik. An arch
actually made Of cardboard surmounts
the road leading to the palace. There
are two entrances, one for princes and
high dignitaries, and another, cob
bled road, leading into a court where
the emperor's lions and leopards are
kept in primitive wood and iron cages
Here also is the foreign Office, and not
far distant the new Parliament
Building.
Northward from Menelik Square Is
the new palace, the residence of the
Egyptian abuna, head of the Ethiopian
Coptic Church and the big cathedral.
Rolling hills extend to the east and
north, where the legations are situated.
The biggest mountain overlooking
Adds is Entoto, a favorite refuge Of
natives in air raids.
The uniformed and barefooted
Adds policemen have already dis
tinguished themselves in keeping order
in the town in recent air raid panics.
They arrested many natives who fired
upon Italian planes with rifles, which
only endangered lives of people on the
ground. Anti-aircraft guns are mainly
concentrated behind the walls Of the
old palace.
The British Legation has a double
fence Of barbed wire to protect it In
event of rioting More than 100 Sikh
guards are on duty there. Other
legations are much less adequately
protected.

COMMENT
COMMENT

Off for Chicago and the National
Negro Congress this week. There
I hope to meet a thousand other
earnest men and women seeking
the welfare of the group.
I learn that the Postal Alliance
which was the first organization
to arrange for delegate to repre-
sent it at the congress, rescinded
its action at it's meeting of We'd
nesday-too bad!
But then-If one is asked to do
something and says "Yes" there
follows a world of responsibilities
and work. Time and labor and
money to spend perhaps. If one
says "No" that ends it all, no
thought, no worry. One may lie
down and go to sleep again.
Chicago holds for me a great
allure. It's not it's big buildings,
majestic though they are; nor yet
the clang and clatter of it's over
head railway, nor the noise and
confusion of it's always restless
throngs as they hurry through the
streets with a nonchalance seen
only in the big burg. Neither is
it in It's beautiful parks and drives,
among the finest in the United
States.
It does exist, however, in the
massed presence Of the Negro
people, great crowds Of whom are
on the streets, in the churches and
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1936-02-14

most impressive of all filling up
the picture houses in their own dis
tricts with we'll dressed men and
women whose comfort and conven-
fences are cared for by members
of their own people. It gives such
moving perturbation of what can
happen when the group gets to-
gether in large numbers, cooper
ates with its money, it's influence
and all the power that win for it
so many opportunities and situa-
lions those of US in smaller areas
have no chance to enjoy. My
thought is ever of how much more
of all this a community like Chi
cago can develop if it can instil
into all its people the energy, the
good sense, the spirit and ambi-
ton that motivates those who have
worked for it's present advance
ment.
If the Negro Congress that
gathers in it's midst this week can
do anything like the thing it is
called to attempt I am sure not
Chicago only, but our entire popu-
lace throughout the length and
breadth of our land shall be in
duced to awaken, to enthuse, to
cooperate and bring out of the
chaos of the present unfortunate
situation, with its segregations,
determinations, and limited oppor-
tunities, a people united, deter
mined to use the power they
possess to make for themselves in
this country a place given only to
those who dare to reach out for it.
