Shaw Writea A small boy, asked for the core of bis apple, said: "There alo’t going to be no core.” Laval, French premier, tired dan gerous golngson In the Mediterranean, gerous goings on In the Mediterranean, Bounces bluntly: “There ain’t going to no war,” requesting England to re move her battleships from the Medi terranean. The wise British have known all along that there was to be no war, but thought It well to Indulge In Tlrtuous demonstrations. Britons rarely, make diplomatic mis takes: diplomats ef~ other- countries are children to them, although France la an exception to that rule. Washington believes the war will end In 60 days, and has probably been told so by somebody In Europe. Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of Gen eral Motors, announces “all signals set for Increased automobile sales next year,” and no doubt about It. He approves an automobile show In November, Instead of January, as giv ing the people more time to realize that the Important car Is the winter car, when theij automobile “wears the rubbers” for the whole family. Capturing Aksum will Impress Ethio pians. The holy city, surrendered by the Ethiopians without a shot, contains the tombs of all Ethiopian rulers since the time of Sheba. The Coptic Chris tian bishop of Aksum voluntarily gave the keys of the city to the Italian Gen. Emilio de Bono, at Aduwa. He ac cepted the keys, proclaimedItaly’s annexation of Aksum, sent a force to aurround the city and prevent looting the monasteries and the ancient cathe dral of St. Mary Zion. In that cathedral the original Ark of the Covenant Is believed to he pre served. Ethiopian history relates that When Solomon, sent the son of his high priest, with other sons of great dig nitaries, to accompany Sheba's son lifter his visit to his father, the son of the high priest took the original Ark of the Covenant with him, sub stituting an Imitation ark, much to the Indignation of Solomon and that high priest. In Justice to the high priest's son. It must he stated that an angel appeared and gave him Instructions about stealing the ark. • George Bernard Shaw discovers -that Ethiopia, so-called. Is an aggregation f tribes, one ruled fairly well by lalle Selassie, who Is called “Em- eror,” the others doing about as they lease. In some of these tribes, what pleases he natives would seem strange to us. 'or Instance, among the Danakils a »dy will not marry a gentleman until e proves that he has killed at least our men. And he must prove It by ringing back the easily Identified ragments of four mutilated bodies, larried life with such a lady should ever be dull. Wars come, wars go, Standard Oil les on forever, working. Walter Tengle, head of Standard Oil f New Jersey, with oil wells scattered ver the world, offers to buy every bar- si of oil that Russia exports, many lilllon barrels a year. To avoid 111 seling, Mr. Teagle would let British oyal Dutch-Shell and Anglo Iranian ave part of Russia’s surplus. Jour Uncle Sam Is very rich now, ver had so much gold In his life, le total pile, “an all time high,” imints to more'than fifteen billions dollars. It wouldn’t be such a big pile of Id If the government had not In- niously raised the price of the gold nee. Gold has been coming rapidly from irope lately, Including some gold that ghtened Americans sent abroad for i health. The United States Is becoming more and more a gambling nation, and. In consequence, less and less a thinking, working nation. Gambling makes real work seem hot worth while. Why work If you can play the horses? Can you Imagine Washington. Lincoln or Edison studying “past performances”? Mr. Damon Runyon writes: “A few years ago. the Broadway betting men would have sneered at the Idea of wagering on college foot ball games. Now It Is the biggest bet ting medium of any sport, with bet ting brokers Issuing regular printed quotations on the various games every week.” At the Methodist Protestant church conference a committee of the Ix>rd’a day recommends that churches be lighted like motion picture “cathe- drals.” The committee complains- “The Church of Christ Is In compara tlve darkness with often but a single light over the door and at the speak er’s desk to save expense." New Jersey Justice decides that Hauptmann, convicted of murdering the Lindbergh child, may live a little longer, to take an appeal to the United States Supreme court The Supreme court may, In Its discretion, decline to Investigate Hauptmann's conviction. In that case, the curtain falls. • Kin* Featlirtt Syndleata. la*. — WNU Sarvloa. News Review of Current ^ -i ..— . -r Events the World Over Laval in Uncomfortable Position Anglp-Italian Relations r Grow Worse—Senator Vandenberg “Not a Candidate.” v V By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Wtiurn New«pap«r Union. Pierre Laval niERRE LAVAL, premier of France, * found himself In a tight place be cause of his efforts to retain the friend ship of both Great Britain and Italy and to keep his gov ernment from being upset by Its foes at home. In the process of trying to find a way to bring about a peace ful settlement of the Italo-Ethloplan war. Laval proposed - that Britain withdraw Its big home fleet from the Mediterranean to mollify Mussolini. This suggestion was laid before the British cabinet.and turned down flatly. The cabinet gave hearty approval to the policy at Geneva of Capt. Anthony Eden and Samuel Hoare, secretary for foreign affairs. Its stand was reported to be substantially this: Mussolini will respect nothing but force. He would Interpret any withdrawal of Britain’s Mediterranean forces as a sign of weakening. If Mussolini wants to clear the way for Italo-Ethnplnn peace talks, let him halt his armies In Ethiopia and acceptJeague terms as basis for negotiation as Ethiopia al ready has done. Furthermore, the British government called on Laval for a definite reply to Its question whether France would co operate with the British fleet If there were an open break with Italy. The French answers to this query had been too wabbly to stilt Downing street Particularly the ' English wanted to know if their fleet w-ould be permitted to use the French naval dockyards. It was believed that If Laval could not satisfy the British, the latter would withdraw from active leadership^ In the League of Nations and refuse to renew the Locarno com mitments on which France relies for protection against Germany. rySPATCHES from the African war front are subjected to so severe a censorship that they are not only unsatisfactory, but often quite unreliable. All kinds of sensational stories are circulated and some of them may be true. One such Is the report from Djibouti, French Somali land, that Italians killed a number of British Somaliland subjects near the Ethiopian frontier, some of the vic tims being members of the camel corps that Is a part of the colonial army. British Vice Consul Lowe heard, also, that Italians had gassed and shot a lot of cattle and goats In British Somaliland. Certainly relations between Italy and Great Britain were growing (vorse dally and there were many predictions that the two nations would be at each other’s throats before long. The Brit ish have been In a deadly cold humor ever since they found out that Musso lini’s friends had been trying to stir up an anti-Brltlsh revolt In Egypt. Now the border between Egypt and Italian Libya is the scene of swift concentration of troops on both sides. V7TCE PRESIDENT JOHN GARNER » and a large number of senators and representatives sailed from Seattle for Manila to represent the United States at the formal establishment of mi nillWII— commonweaIttr anti ttiF inauguration of President Manuel Quezon on November 19. For the first time In history both the President and the Vice President were outside United States territory at the same time. Secretary of State Hull was the ranking oflicial left in Washington and consequently was the temporary head of the government. However, Mr. Atoosevelt was In close and continual communication with the capital by wireless throughout his cruise. C'THIOPIA’S representatives In Ge- neva were told by delegates of sev eral nations that Mussolini was ready to end the warfare If he were given considerable cessions of territory and certain large economic advantages. This tentative offer was transmitted to Addis Ababa, and the reply of Emperor Halle Selassie was a determined “No.” The Italians want virtual control over the entire country, and the emperor Is not willing to give up a yard of ter ritory. The Italians In northern Ethiopia were Jubilant over the desertion of Deglac Halle Selassie Gugsa and sev eral thousand warriors. This Gugsa is a son-in-law of the emperor and a de scendant of King John who reigned In the last century. The traitor was in stalled-as ras or chieftain of the oc cupied territory. Seemingly reliable reports from medical missionaries In the southern sector, the Ogaden zone, said the Italians were making free use of chlorine gas and of dum-dum bullets which for many years have been out lawed In all “civilized” warfare. S ENATOR ARTHUR H. VANDEN BERG of Michigan, who has been mentioned frequently as a possible Republican nominee for the Presi dency, came back from a summer tour of Eu rope and declared flat ly he Is "not a candi date for anything on earth.” He did not attempt to predict who would be named by the Republicans, but did say he felt the G. O. P. would win In 1936. "I think President Roosevelt wrote his obituary In his first speech In congress In March, 1933,” he said, “and historians will show It, when he said ‘most liberal governments have been wrecked on -the rocks of loose fiscal policies and we must take care to avoid that’" Liberal spending by the New Deal jfM defended by Senator Fletcher of Senator Vandenberg Florida, chairman of the senate bank ing committee. In an interview he said that "government activities and expenditures have restored about $10,- 000,000,000 of bank credit lost In the $21,000,000:000 deflation of 1930$I» -^“Business is going to get the bene fit of that The money the govern ment is putting out is going to people who are putting It In the banks. It Is Increasing-^mrchaslng power and Mkewi3£_£xpnndlng the credit facili ties of the banks.” The senator expressed the belief business was “reviving,” declared re lief and other emergency expenditures .would drop as continued Improvement was shown, and predicted many work projects' would be of lasting benefit. IT DOESN’T take much these days * to cause the Republicans to rejoice. The latest event hailed by them as a harbinger of victory next year was merely a by-election In Massachusetts to fill a vacancy In the state senate. The district normally Is Republican and this time as usual a Republican was elected. The reason for the G. O. P, shouts was found In the de creased vote polled by the Democrats, and the fact that Salem, a mill town and former Democratic stronghold, was captured by the Republicans. Democratic leaders said that the Is sues In'the election were purely local and that the reverse at most was a rebuff for the administration of Demo cratic Gov. James Curley. The Re publican leaders asserted that the New Deal no less than Curley was involved. P ARLIAMENTARY elections In Can ada resulted In the defeat of Pre mier Richard B. Benpett and the Con servatives who have been to control since 1930. The next premier will be 1 ilackenzle King'Sleader of the Liberals who won 158 out of 245 seats in the house of commons. The new deal poli cies of the Bqnnett government were repudiated by the electors. Ip the program outlined by King, In case he won, the great emphasis was laid on 'relieving unemployment-and lowering tariffs back to 1930 levels, A reciprocal trade agreement with the United- States was one of his strong arguments. Nationalization of the Bank of Canada, to control credit inflation and deflation was another plank. One Immediate result of the Liberal victory was the resignation of W. B Ilerrldge as Canadian minister to the United States, effective when the new administration takes hold. Herridge is a brother-in-law of Premier "Ben nett and his appointment to the Wash ington post wrts severely criticized by King during the campaign. I N. SOME quarters Col. Theodore Roosevelt is credited with consider able influence among the Republicans of the eastern states, and often he is men- as a possible Presidential c a n d 1- date. Another poten tial candidate, strong In the West, Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, recently wrote to Colonel Roosevelt proposing that the 1936 Republican cam paign be based on a Issue. The colonel turned down the plan. He replied that, while he was in sympathy with the senator’s attitude on* monopolies, he felt there are many other issues as great or greater. Among these he named “scandalous waste of the peo ple's money, government extravagance, multitudinous taxes, and attempts to subvert our type of government.” “I entirely agree,” Colonel Roosevelt wrote, “that monopolies are evil, 'for I am a Arm believer in the established American principle of competition. 1 have stated this over and over again during the last eighteen months. *T do not agree, however, that this will be the major issue of the cam paign.” Col. Theodors Roosevelt “trust-busting” P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT turned his back on the Pacific and began his return voyage on the cruiser Hous ton. The vessel was started through the Panama canal while the President went to Fort Clayton and other posts to inspect the garrisons, and to the' new Madden dam on the Chagres riv er. He boarded the cruiser at I’edro Miguel locks and, with President Arias of Panama and Mrs. Arimj as guests, preceded to the Atlantic, VfAJ. GEN. WILLIAM L. SIBERT, one of the three men wl»jeally built the Panama canal and last Sur" vlving member of the canal commis sion, died at the age of seventy-five at his country home near Bowling Green, Ky. He was buried in Arlington Na tional cemetery with full military honors. General Sihert’s career as engineer and soldier was distinguished. He was made brigadier general by special act of congress for his services in con nection with the building of the Pan ama canal. During the World war he commanded the First division of the A. E. • F. He retired In 1920 to engage In pri vate engineering work and subsequent ly served as chairman of the Ala bama state docks commission in con struction of the state docks at Mobile. From 1928 to 1932 he was chairman of the Boulder dam commission, and In 1929 and 1930 was president of the American Association of Port Authori ties. J OHN L. LEWIS, president of fhe United Mine Workers,' and his in dustrial union bloc lost a hot battle when the American Federation of La bor, in convention. In Atlantic City, vbted to continue the policy adopted last year In San Francisco. This policy was to organize jvorlfifers in mass production Ihdustrles, such as automb- bile and steel, along Industrial lines with due protection of the r|ghts of craft unions. Lewis and his followers proposed that the mass production Industries be organized, one union for each In dustry, with the craft unions kept out altogether. AROL, king of Rumania, cele- brated his forty-second birthday at his summer palace in Sinaia, and as the family gathered for the occa- sion Mme. Magda Lu- ^ pescu, the king’s Inti mate friend, arrived unexpectedly from Paris. The Peasant party had Intended to make the day notable by “anti-Lupescu” dem onstrations, hoping this would help to keep her in exile, but her return confounded the leaders. The agitation against agda has now taken a decided &ntl-~ Semitic turn, her enemies circulating broadsides calling attention to her Jewish origin and charging that through her Influence a large number of Jews are getting easy Jobs In the public service. The peasant leaders also redistrib uted a statement of Julius Maniu, out standing foe of Mme. Lupescu, that she is “responsible for almost every 111 which besets Rumania.” “I am a monarchist," Maniu’s state ment continued, “but every Rumanian should receive a good example from the palace.

The Siege of Jerusalem (vv. 1-3). 1. The time (vv. 1. 2). It began on the tenth, day of the tenth month of the ninth year or Zedekiah’s reign, last ing about eighteen months. The tenth month, according to the Jew’s calen dar, corresponds to our December-Jan- uary, as their calendar began about the middle, of March. The reason the exact time Is given Is that this was to be an event of great Importance to the Jews In tl\elr exile. In their gloomy exile God directed Ezekiel to utter a parable unto the captives of that day (Ezek. 24). '2. The method (v. 11). Nebuchad nezzar came In person with a large army and encamped against Jerusalem, building forts against It round about It is thought that several walls were built around the city, shutting It In. On the tops of these walls forts were built from which missiles of destruc tion could be hurled by their engines of war against the city. With the city thus shut In, its fall was only a question of time. ” 3. The famine (v, 3). Geikle says, “It was speedily followed, as is always the case, witj) an outbreak of pesti lence. Food was well-nigh gone. There had long been no bread. Mothers were at last driven to murder and eat their children. The richest citi zens wandered about searching for scraps In the dung hills." Even out side the city the people were starving. “There was no bread for the people of the land.” It Is estimated that one-third of the people of Jerusalem died of starvation.

S ECRETARY WALLACE should wel come the announcement by the American Liberty league that Its com mittee of 58 noted lawyers has volun teered to defend small potato growers against the potato control law. Not that Mr. Wallace Intends to violate the act by growing unlicensed spuds, but he has declared he is so opposed to the law that he will try In every way to avoid enforcing It. F OR about twenty years John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has owned a 60- acre tract of land at the upper end of Manhattan Island, known as Fort Try- on park, and has cared for it and beau tified IL Now he has presented It to New York city as a public park—truly, a magnificent gift. The land, which Is valued at $6,000,000, extends from-One Hundred Ninety-second street to Dyck- man street. S TRATFORD HALL, the fine old colonial house in Westmoreland county, Virginia, which has been the home of the Lees for 200 years, was dedicated as a national shrine, its LlOO-acre estate being Included in the gift to the public. The place was bought and restored by the Robert E. Lee Memorial foundation. President Roosevelt sent a message to be read rft the dedication exercises, and many high otticials were present. The house was built by, Thomas Lee, colonial governor of Virginia, and was the birthplace of Gen. Robert E. Lee. II. Zedekiah’s Flight and Fate (vv. 4-7). 1. “The city was broken up” (v. 4). The Chaldeans had succeeded in mak ing an opening In the wall so large that they could make their way Into the city In spite of all that the He brews could do. Resistance was car ried on to the bitter end. 2. Zedekiah’s flight (v. 4). The king with his men of war fled by night to ward the plain. His object no doubt was to cross the Jordan at Jericho and hide In the mountains east of the Jordan. 3. Zedekinh’s fate (vv. 5-7)., a. He was overtaken In the plains of Jericho (v. 5). As soon as the Chaldean army discovered the flight they pursued and captured him. He was brought to the king of Babylon at Riblah (v. 6). Rlblah was a town north of Damascus. It was the king’s headquarters from which he directed his armies against Tyre and Jerusalem. Before Nebuchadnezzar Zedekiah was tried as a criminal. c. His fate. His sons were slain 4n his sight. Ills own eyes were put out. He was bound with fetters of brass and they carried him to Babylon where he remained a prisoner to the day of his death (.Ter. 52:11). III. Jerusalem Destroyed (vv. 8-10). The dismantling of the city was delayed a month, perhaps awaiting In structions from Nebuchadnezzar who was at Rlblah. The work of destruc tion was executed by the officer next In rank to the king. 1. They burnt the house of the lA>rd (v. 9). This was the sacred temple built by Solomon, with addition* and alterations. Before burning It, they plundered It of all Its sacred con tents. 2. Burnt the king’s house (v. 9). This was doubtless the palace built by Solomon. 3. Burnt all the houses of Jeru salem (v. 9). The Implication is that the common houses were left for the people (v. 12). 4. They broke down the walls of Jerusalem. The -aim. In this was to render the walls useless as a means of defense. IV. The Disposition of the Temple Furniture and Priests (vv. 13-21). 1. The temple furniture carried to Babylon (vv. 13-17). The pillars of brass and the brazen sea were broken into pieces by the Babylonians and to gether with the utensils were carried -to -Babylon. 2. Certain officers and priests taken to Riblah (vv. 18-21). These officers and priests and three score men of „the land were taken to R|blah, where pey were slain by the kin** of Babylon. The events recorded In Second Kings cover a period of 308 years. God had said, “If thou wilt, then I will”; they had invited disaster by disobedience.
