BROILED STEAK

STEAKS FOR broiling are best
at least an inch thick. and that is
not extravagant. for a thicker
steak can be cut to serve as many
people as the same amount of
meat in thinner slices. and you'll
notice the extra juiciness and fla
vor on the first bite.

Berlin Pact Signers
To Study Activities
OF World Jewry
Berlin Says Relations
With BoIshevism Are
Sure to Be Probed
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov 28.-An authorized
commentator said today that the 13
States which adhered to the anti
comintern pact in this weeks cere-
monies in Berlin were sure to study
the relations between world Jewry
and Bolshevism."
He avoided making the assertion
that the anti Communist agreement,
which Germans say now embraces
most of Western Europe, would
adopt anti-Semitism Of the vigorous
German brand as a uniform post
war policy.
But he declared that the new
adherents to the pact, including
Finland. Denmark. Slovakia and
Bulgaria in Europe and the Japa-
nese-sponsored Marking regime in
China have become aware that the
Jew is the prototype for Bolshevik
teachings the world over" He added
that new members as we'll as old
would take appropriate measures" 4"

COPENHAGEN, Nov. % P.-The
Danish people were told in a broad
cast today that there are no secret

which Denmark signed in Berlin
this week and they were urged tc

(The pact, sponsored by Ger

would be easy for Fowkes, COM
manding a powerful air force, to
wipe out Gondar in two-hour raid
along the German Coventry style
but the city itself has been spared.
Correspondence seized on the
clandestine mail route shows what
the soldiers in the city are thinking
about. Your correspondent has a
letter written on a piece of rubber
sheeting sewn inside natives dress
when he tried to penetrate the lines.
The officer author, dating the mes
sage November 4, acknowledged
having received his wife's letter
from Asmara and expressed hus-
bandly concern by saying:
II cannot understand why you
have recently commenced to date
your letters in English fashion"
AS IN other phases of the East
African campaign, the British forces,
except for mules bearing Indian gun
caissons, are riding in American
built cars. Generally they stand
the knife-like rocks of the impro-
vised roads well. but it's not an
uncommon sight to see below bat
terry of dark-skinned gunners an
other crew striving to haul up the
hill product of the American Mid
west auto industry with it's axle
bent and the large white African
antelope on its fender badly mud
spattered.
Bringing peace to Ethiopia is cost
ing Britain about 100000 a year
in public maintenance but the mag
nificent Italian roads are already
showing signs that they will not last
forever. The beginning of NUM-
tionS factory which the Italians
established at Dabat, on the nearby
plateau, is already deserted, and
when Gondar falls the land will re-
turn to the agriculture for which 1t
was designed.

pally by radio, includes a special
picked bodyguard which he calls
center troops" who are elevated
from the patriot Ethiopian into
something approaching the regular
Ethiopian class by the payment Of
10 thalers monthly for food, arms
| and ammunition.
Desertions from the outlying for
tress of the few tribesmen sympa-
thetic to the Italians continue to
diminish the force of Gen. Nasi. For
example, about 200 so-called Banda
came to Llata and surrendered to
the British two days ago, saying
simply they were now too hungry
| TO fight.
This attack on Gondar would have
begun earlier, but the northern roads
were inaccessible as long as the rains
continued, and they lasted extraor-
dinarily late this year.
Even the Crown Prince of Ethiopia
has his own camp near the British
headquarters and the Ethiopian
gold, red and green flag floats not
far from the Union Jack. On the
Italian side the principal native in
| f1uence rests in the hands of Col
Andriano Torelli, a small, tough,
hard-bitten man frequently seen on
a white horse, whose native regi-
ments are composed of Somahs,
Eritreans and Ethiopians.
Dozens of Red Crosses.
Through regular air reconnais-
sance and the interruption Of clam
destine mail service through the
mountains from Gondar to Asmara-
where live the families of many of
the besieged-the British have a
fairly complete picture of life in
Gondar. AL children were evacu-
ated long ago and only five women
remain in the city, all reputedly
ladies of frail frame. The compost
ton between black and white of the
$1,000 besieged men remains uncer-
tain, but in recent battles on the
WOODED rldge leaolng toWaro tHe
lake front, two Italians were taken
prisoner for every native soldier.
The Rome radio has complained
that the British have bombed Con-

Cleanup in Northeast.
The cleanup in the northeast was
completed with the surrender OF

and finally the capitulatlon OF the
Duke d'Aosta, Italian commander
and Viceroy, with 1000 troops, at
the hilltop fortress of Amba Alaji
on May 10.
Only scattered garrisons remained
in the Gondar area and in South
western Ethiopia.
High lights in the fighting in
Southwestern Ethiopia included the
capture of 5000 Italians near Scias-
ciamanna on May %, the taking Of
1000 prisoners in the battle of the
lakes south of Adds Ababa early in
June and surrender of Jimma with
5000 men late in June.
Finally, it was announced on July
that Gen. Pietro Gazzera, the COM
mander in the rugged southwestern
country, had given up and that the
only Italian resistance was centered
in the Gondar area.
Most of Forces Withdrawn.
The British withdrew most Of
| their forces to the North African
front soon after the fall OF Adds
Ababa and Amba Alaji, and left
completion of the conquest largely
to their Ethiopian allies.

native warriors, with some Allied
assistance, kept up their steady pres

The Italians never forsake posi-

must cover the small glades of forest

carefully for hidden mines before
the infantry can entrench them

Gondar is seven days by motor

GdIIackers Gather
Christmas Greens

Christmas is coming, and a vast
army of North Carolina "gallack-
ers" are happy. Demand for their
harvest of leaves, evergreen
sprays" trees and other decora-
tive material is now at the years
peak, and the prices are firm.
"Gallacking" is the business of
collecting galax leaves and other
decorative green's. Thousands of
persons make all or part of their
living harvesting the leaves, tips,
roots and herbs of the Appalachian
region, and this is their busiest
season.
Gallacking is a year-around occu-
patton, because the leathery, dur
able galax and laucothoe leaves and
other green's are put to constant use
by florists and other decorators.
The demand widens at Christmas
to open a market for balsam and
spruce trees, and for laurel twigs.
Most of the evergreen collecting
in the mountains is done sporadical-
ly and according to the press of
other work. Whole families move
into the forests on sunshiny days,
taking their crop home for sort
ing, grading and tying into bundles.
Hundreds of buying agents purchase
this material direct, shipping them
to dealers.
Dozens of little backwoods shops
are now springing into activity be-
cause of the seasonal demand for
immediate processing. Here the
native evergreens are turned into
various wreaths, trees are packed
and trimmed, and thousands Of
yards of rope" are made from
spruce, pine, laurel and hemlock.
