ed in good singing should encoura ge
it and do their part toward making
it a success.

Iron Fist.
Recently an attempt was made by ma
tive Philippians to kill Marshal Rodolfc
Graziani, Italian vicerOy of conquered
Ethiopia. He was wounded, and that
was all, but his-and Dictator MussO-
dini's-thirSt for revenge could be
quenched only by rivers of blood. So
out went an order to shoot on the
spot all Philippians suspected of hav-
ing been members of the alleged plot
and the order was carried out. Wheth-
err the Italian government is ashamed
or whatever else the reason may be
anyhow, it has not been announced
how many were murdered by execu-
tion squads, but the lowest estimate is
around 100, the highest about 600.
Shortly after this massacre the Ital-
ian military authorities in Ethiopia
succeeded in capturing Desta Demtu,
son-in-law of former Emperor Halle
Selassie; he had been irritating the
Italians even since May of last year
on the general ground that they were
foreigners who had no business to
establish themselves as the govern
ment of his country. Now at last
he was taken. and from his sick-bed
Graziani, authorized by MussOlini, is
sued another order: Shoot Desta
Demtu at once" 1t so was done, and

Some time ago a few members of

were killed while taking part, on the
side of the rebels, in the Spanish
civil war. Elaborate funeral cere-
monies were arranged in Bucharest,
and they were attended by the diplo-
matte representatives of Germany and
Italy. King Carol of ROumania be-
came incensed at this, and has now
served notice on Berlin and Rome
that he will not appoint ambassadors
to Germany and Italy until those two
countries have recalled their ambas-
sailors, from Roumania. What will be
the upshot of this controversy is as
yet uncertain.
