oLONDON, May 20-(R-The
steady pinching out of the last
resistance in Italy's lost East AZ
rican empire is releasing thous-
ands of veteran British fighting
men from the rain-sodden bat
tlefields of Ethiopia for desert
fronts in North Africa, Pales-
tine and Iraq.
Authoritative circles declined
today to estimate the number Of
British empire troops-including
the Indian and South African
forces, to which the Duke Of
Aosta surrendered his army atop
Amba Alaji-remained In action
in Ethiopia except to say they
amounted to "some thousands. :"
The Dukes surrender Of him
self and his trapped army Of
1000 Italians was expected In
these circles to hasten the capt.
tulation of two remaining Fas-
cist holdout garrisons, one in the
Gondar region northwest Of Ad-
dis Ababa and the other in the
Jimma section south Of the Eth
iopian capital.
Dispatches from the Ethiopian
front indicated that the natives
of the returned conquering Lion
Of Judah, Halle Selassie, are
taking m active part in opera
tions against these last strong
holds.
Prime Minister Churchill dis
closed 10 days ago that some
troops from Ethiopia had been
transferred elsewhere already %
bolster more urgent British cam
paigns, and authoritative pre-
dictions were heard that these
transfers now could be contin-
ued and speeded.
An authoritative commentary
indicated last night that tn e
capitulation yesterday of h e
Italians at Amba Alaji and the
Dukes personal surrender to-
day Is the last man to leave his
mountain-top defenses could be
regarded ~ virtually winding
up the Ethiopian campaign.
It pointed out that In COM
parison with the seven-month
Italian advance on Adds Ababa
in 1936-36, the British, striking
in from conquered italian
Somaliland, captured the capital
and then the stronghold COM
manded by the Italian viceroy
in "a days.

actually lasted weeks longer
than that, starting last summer

Peter said, angrily resenting her

Why should Peter be angry because
she could not believe this inapossi-
BILE thing?
She forced herself to listen to what
Peter said when he now began to
relate what had happened, telling
George, while the others listened.

ry bushes. They saw the pond on

flock of geese in the pond,

in the door with Corkran behind
them, George and Mary at the ta-
BILE. Tommy Hanline had come to
stand behind Peter, tears streaking
his cheeks.
Peter went on with his story of
his brothers death.
''I'd have to crawl" he said, con
my hands and knees. Richard and
Gee stayed where they were, SOS
not to scare the birds. I crawled
within shot range and waited till
they lined up good, and shot. Some
were dead, and some of them flap.

''Then 1 asked Gee where Richard
was. He said Richard had gone
down to the beach. 1 went along the
top of the cliff looking for him, and
finally saw him. There was a
point of rocks running out into the
water, and he was sneaking toward
the point as if he was trying to cut
something off from the water. I
thought it might be seals, but I
couldn't see them.
II saw him start to run, and then
/ saw them coming toward the wa
ter, galloping on their flippers the
way they do; but they were sea

them ten or twelve feet long. Dick

what happened, but they have long

his hand; and it just galloped on,
dragging Richard with it, into the
water"
II think one of the tusks stuck in
his wrist somehow; maybe wedged
between the bones, or hooked into
the tendons. He was jerked off his
feet, couldn't do anything. 1t dragged
him into the water, and they
went under together. The place
was boiling with them, dozens of
them, like a school of mackerel.
They churned it into foam like
milk. Even from up where I was, I
couldn't see down into it.

QUICK FLOWER GARDENS

MANY people want quick re-

and for them the lists of annual
flowers offer effective aid.
A highly satisfactory, and eco
nomical hedge, for instance, can
be grown in six or eight weeks
from seed. Kochia is the plant.
A single packet of Kochia seed
will provide a full, bushy hedge
along the front Or side of the yard.
For Towering hedge, Four
O'Clock will produce attractively
within two months after seed is
planted.
Glowing borders Of flowers that
beautify the yard, and at the same
time provide ample cut flowers
for the housewife, may be enjoyed
the first summer. The fastest
growing and most dependable an
nuals for cutting include the Tin
MAS, Marigolds, Bachelor Buttons
and Petunias. There are tall, me-
dunn, and dwarf varieties of each
Most widely used of fast-grow-
ing annual vines is Heavenly Blue
Morning Glory, whose giant, soft

themselves. 1t is we'll to scratch
the coat of Heavenly Blue seeds
before planting them to speed
their otherwise slow termination.
