The Italian high command

by the European conqueror
for five years, had fallen to
the British and native armies.
The fortress was the last

opia and it's surrender, along
with some 1000 troops by
British estimate, and the Ital-
ian commander, the Duke of
Aosta, left only two areas OF
resistance in the land of Halle
Selassie-the Gondar section
of the northwest and in the
Jimma area in the south.
The British and Ethiopians hur-
ried their offensive against the re-
naming two areas Of occupation
in the hope of breaking the whole
of the colony despite the arrival
of the rainy season. The Italians
said their resistance was contin-
uing.
Originally it had been reported
that the Italian garrison at Amba
Aliji numbered $4,000, but later
announcement limited Fascist cap
tives to be a probable 1000.
The Italians admitted that their
losses were enormous. They salut-
ed Aosta and his men as heroes
who had not quit until the last of
their cartridges, food and water
were gone and they could no longer
treat their wounded.
Meanwhile, the North African
front presented see-saw situation
with varied claims of victory by
the British and their Axis oppon-
ents in and about the border
Egyptian village of Salum. The
British situation will be greatly
strengthened if their army of Eth
opia is able to smash a final vic
tory there at an early date.

ued telling offensive against the
Germans by bombing the channel

Judge Pays Fine Tribute To
Race Citizens OF Scoftsboro

SCOTTSBORO, AIa.-On the
first Sunday in May We we're in
vited by the Rev. M. G.. M. Har-
riS, pastor of the st. Elizabeth
Baptist church to preach the ded1-
cational sermon of the new church
edifice.
Under the wise leadership of
Pastor Harris and the fine follow
ing of his officers and members a
fine spacious building has been
erected. The building has a seat
ing capacity OF 500 or more and
is very beautiful and modern in
every respect.
On my arrival in Scottsboro I
observed that the officers and
faithful members were very busy
clearing and beautifying the
church building, getting ready for
climax of long, bitter struggle
over a period of years, watching
the faithfulness of these work.
ers go about their task, brought
nope and much inspiration to
know that people have not lost
their church pride, I have never
in all my life met a more loyal
group of Baptists anywhere. Every
body seemed to be in one spirit
with one trend of mind.
On Sunday morning at IL a. m.
the church was filled to its seat
ing capacity. A very fine spirit
was seen and felt as one entered
this beautiful building. One could
but see and feel a fine spirit of
congeniality in the presence of
these Christian people.
Miss Mary E. Plump, supervisor
Of Negro school of Jackson County
was presented who had charge OF
the morning program. In very
few choice and chosen words Miss
Plump proved that she was master
Of the occasion.
The program consisted of Spir-
itual solos. and talks by some of
the older members of the church.
The music was rendered by the
chair from Alec, Tenn.
The Main address of the morn
ing was delivered by Judge Ben
son, probate Judge of Jackson
County. Judge Benson paid very
fine tribute to the colored citi-
zens of Scottsboro and Jackson
County. He said in part: 'That in
his dealing with Negroes Of jack
son County he had found very
fine type of citizenship and over
a period of years as Judge he had
tried at all times to do his best
for the colored people of his
county"
At the close of the morning
service We were taken to the din
ing room of the junior high school
where we were served very fine
dinner.
The most surprising thing was
when Judge Benson accepted an
invitation to dine with us. He
chose to be seated at the head Of
the table between Rev. Harris and
the writer and seemed to have
his meal. I thought this
was very unusual to happen in
one of our most talked
about towns of the Southland.

SEEK TO SAVE
PORO COLLEGE

CHICAGO-(A N P)-Determin.
ed to use every available means tC
prevent the closing of Poro College,
now threatened with foreclosure
because of a $4,000 tax indebted
ness, citizens committee led by
Dean H. M. Smith of the Chicago
Baptist institute Wednesday went
down to the office of Daniel J.
Conerty, chief field deputy Of the
internal revenue department, and
obtained three weeks time extern
sion for Mrs. Annie P. Malone.
Poro founder and president.
During the three weeks period
the committee will be allowed to
work out a plan with Mrs. Malone
for raising the necessary funds,
and if found feasible by internal
revenue departmet heads prob
able further extension of 60 or 80
days will be granted.
A subcommittee selected by
Dean Smith when the Citizens
Committee to Save Poro met with
Mrs. Malone Thursday morning is
composed of A. L. Foster, execu-
tive secretary of the Chicago Urban
league; the Rev. H. B. Hawkins,
president of the Baptist Ministers
Conference of Chicago and vicini-
ty; the Rev. A. Wayman Ward,
pastor of Greater Bethel AME
Church; Mrs. Mamie Reed, club
woman; and Carl Hansberry, real
tor. This committee will confer
with Mrs. Malone, investigate the
institutions books, and make defi-
mite plans to be presented to
Deputy Chief Conerty. Pending the
committees recommendations Poro
will be allowed to operate as us
ual.
According to Dean Smith wide
spread interest was evoked when
1t became known that internal
revenue deputies were evicting
students from one of the four
buildings owned by Poro in Chi
cago and used as a girls dormi-
tory.
Although Mrs. Malone has had
tax defaults for the past five years,
1t was not generally known that
the Al year old institution, once
worth more than $1,OOO,00O, was in
any serious financial difficulty. 1t
was pointed out to Mr.. Conerty by
the committee that Poro is more
than a business institution, it is
a symbol to the Negro race of what
can be accomplished by Negro
business.
For this reason, admittedly a
sentimental one, the committee
