The Alamance gleaner \ ? * ? . *, ? VOL. LXII. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY APRIL 30, 1936. NO. 13 <?) Western hWipaper l/niba Italy Is Ruthless and the League Helpless OCCUPATION of Addis Ababa and all of Ethiopia was the price de manded by Italy for an armistice in East Africa when the council of the League of Nations met again In Geneva. Baron Poropeo Aloisl presented trie ultima tum on behalf of Dic tator Mussolini. Wolde Marlam, representing Ethiopia, countered with a request that the league invoke all penalties against Italy under article 16 of the covenant, these includ- : ing military sanctions Baron Alois! ?la ?cii as me economic penalties which the league has been trying to enforce. The British and French dele gates explained the stand of their re spective governments in the embrogllo. The league was helpless, and having received the discouraging report of the conciliation committee, was com pelled to confess It could not find means of attaining peace. France will not consent to the Imposition of mili tary sanctions, and Great Britain natur ally will not undertake to enforce them by herself. It appeared the poor Ethio pians were to be abandoned to their fate, meaning the extinction of their empire and their exploitation by Italy. The council adopted a resolution re gretting Its inability to end the war, reminding league members that they should continue the sanctions and ask ing Italy to be generous In bringing the conflict to a close. Anthony Eden In bis address to the council warned France that she might expect from Great Britain no farther support agaln&t aggression by Germany than France had given against Italy. From the north, south and west the Italian armies were advancing on Ad dis Ababa, and the panic stricken civ ilian Inhabitants of the capital were fleeing from the city. Foreigners sought shelter in the bomb-proofed British legation. The mayor Issued all the arms available and the government called on all able men to make a last stand for liberty, saying "it Is better to die than to be enslaved." Terrible Famine in Once Fertile China Province DISPATCHES from Chengtu, China, tell a terrible story of the famine and drouth In Szechnen province, once one of the most fertile regions In the conntr/. It Is said to be the worst famine in the history of China, the deaths numbering many thousands and fnily 30,000,000 persons being in distress. Suicides and "mercy slayings" are everyday incidents. The peasants are reduced to eating dogs, cats, rats and clay. Officials said the situation primarily wi , a result of Communist Incursions during the last two years In which the reds overran and pillaged the land. Turkey Remilitarizes Dardanelles Zone ANOTHER post-war treaty has gone flooey. President Kemal Ataturk of Turkey and his cabinet decided that the President ? ? Kemah Dardanelles mnsr De remilitarized, despite the Lusaone pact, and Turkish troops were promptly moved into the zone along the 75 mile long strait that connects the Sea of Marmora and the Aegean sea. It Is be lieved K e m a 1 will soon rebuild the forti fications in the zone which the allies failed f&' nunug llie " worm war. The Turkish dictator didn't sorprise anyone by his action, for he asked per mission of the League of Nations some time ago to rearm the Dardanelles. No formal reply had been made, bnt the British government rather favored giv ing consent, and the Soviet union openly approves Turkey's move. Italy was displeased, and there was consid erable excitement In the "Balkan states, especially Bulgaria which bor ders on European Turkey. The Bul garians renewed their demand for a corridor giving them a direct route to the Aegean sea. Probably Kemal's action will not be severely condemned by SLyone, for most of the European nations are pre paring for war with feverish haste. Austria's army, small but well equipped, held a spring parade In Vienna, and immediately the nations of tlx little entente displayed their anger at this ?bow of military force and their mill tary attaches In the Austrian capital were ordered not to occupy the placet reserved for them among the review ing officials. Romania has increased its military budget to $38,000,000 and created a special fund of {20,000,000 for the development of aviation. Hun gary Is clamoring for revision of the Trianon treaty and recovery of the ter ritory It lost to the little entente. The forty-seventh birthday of Reichs fuehrer Adolf Hitler provided an oppor tunity for a Mg display of Germany's military power. President's Secretary and Adviser Taken by Death LOUIS McHENRY HOWE, secretary to President Roosevelt and for many years his close friend and ad viser, died In the Naval hospital at Washington after an Illness of more than a year. Mr. Howe was known In the capital as "the President maker," for It was largely due to his efforts that Mr. Roosevelt reached the White House. For twenty-five years, from the day when Mr. Roosevelt and he first met In Albany, he had devoted himself to forwarding his friend's political for tunes. Judge Ritter Is Found Guilty by Senate Federal judge halsted l. rit ter of Florida was found guilty on Impeachment charges by the senate and removed from office, being the fourth federal Jurist to be _ ousted In this manner. ' On eacb of the first sis articles of Im peachment a majority of senators voted for his acqnittal; bnt on the seventh article, which was a general ized summary of the charges against him, be was convicted by a vote of 56 to 28. An nrHor Ho^loHnir Rltter should be "forever disqualified from holding any ofilce of honor, trust or profit onder the United States" was defeated. 76 to 0. The senate's verdict In the twelfth Impeachment case brought before It as a high conrt of Impeachment since foundation of the American republic amounted to a decision that Judge Rlt ter had violated the Constitutional re quirements of good behavior In office. Editors Condemn Seizure of Private Telegrams RESOLUTIONS condemning the blan ket seizure of private communica tions were adopted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors In con vention at Washington. "We are of the conviction," said the resolution, "that if such practice is not checked the threat to liberty of Indi vidual action and particularly to the freedom of the press 1* Immediate and menacing."

Respighi, Noted Italian Composer, Is Dead OTTORINO RESPIGHI, one of the most famous of modern Italian composers, died In Rome at tbe age of tlfty-slx of heart disease following blood poisoning. His passing Is c< use for deep mourning among music lovers everywhere. Several of his operas were presented In New York and Chicago, and he was guest conductor of tbe Phil harmonic Symphony orchestra of New Xork Id 1932. _ Results of the Illinois Primary Election ILLINOIS' primary held the center of political interest for it not only provided lively state battles but alto was of considerable moment nationally. Col. Frank Knox, pub lisher of the Chicago Dally News, and Sen ator Borah of Idaho, who was born In Illi nois, were the contest ants for the Repub lican Presidential pref erential Tote, and the former came out with 31 delegates against 28 for Borah. The sen ator's friends were elated because, with Frank Knox uui viyajniauon, ne carrieu a mrxe part of the state outside of Chicago. This preferential vote Is purely ad visory and neither man has a slate of delegates to the national convention. The result makes It certain that Knox will make a respectable showing on the flrst roll call. It also adds to Borah's prestige and aids him In the coming Ohio primary. Gov. Henry Horner, seeking renom ination, was victorious In the bitter fight with the regular Democratic or ganization and the Kelly-Nash ma chine In Chicago, which bad thrown him overboard and supported Bunde sen for governor. The Democrats al most unanimously voted for the re nomination of Senator James Hamil ton Lewis, and the Republicans named Former Senator Otis Glenn to oppose him In November. In Nebraska's primary only Borah'i name was printed on the Republi can preferential ballot bat almost one sixth of the voters wrote in the name of Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas. For the Democratic preference Presi dent Roosevelt was unopposed In botli Illinois and Nebraska.

He said he did not contemplate doling ont relief funds for the proj ects and that there would be no fundi for the projects unless congress re versed Its refusal.
