IF war is prevented in Ethiopia, and there is still hope, Great Britain can take the credit. The single-handed fight being made by John Bull, to save world peace and also the League of Nations, deserves far more attention, and praise than it is receiving. The speech made by Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secre tary, at Geneva last evening, marked the crossing of the Rubicon, as far as Britain's European policy is concerned. T was an ultimatum both to no side-stepping, no weazel-wording. If Italy persists in her invasion of Ethiopia, if the League refuses to take such drastic action, as this violation of the covenant DEMANDS then the "main bridge" binding England to the continent collapses, and Great Britain is through. In other words, England is bringing every force at her com mand, to bear upon the League of Nations, to halt Mussol'ni stands resolutely for the maintenance of the league covenant, in its entirety and particularly for steady, .collective resistance to "all acts of unprovoked aggression." Meanwhile Germany is standing aloof, while she shakes hands with Mussolini behind the scenes. France as usual, is trying to play both ends against the middle, refusing to offend Italy on one hand, clinging desperately to the entente cordiale with England on the other. Soviet Russia is not actively par ticipating, but like a vulture is Boaring serenely aloft, waiting for the carnage to begin. The United States of course, is out of it entirely. "NLY "perfidious Albion" manship and the devotion the open, put all her cards on the table face up, and single handed defy the "public enemy No. 1" of Europe. It is not an exaggeration to the fate of Europe hangs in the his stand. The next move is up to Mussolini. If the Italian dictator persists in his militaristic designs upon Ethiopia, regardless of this ultimatum from London, then one of two things must happen: The League will back up Great Britain, as it legally and morally SHOULD, and sanctions which means that the members support Ethiopia in the ensuing The League will refuse to support Great Britain, will take no positive action one way or the other, which will mean, the end of the League, and the retirement of England to its tight little isle, where she ventured forth diplomatically speaking nearly half a century ago. Meanwhile Italian imperialism will merrily extend its power to the shores of the Red Seal NE man's guess is as good as another's. Our own guess is Mussolini will either back down entirely or agree to talk things over a little longer, which the same thing. We hope we are right. If we responsible, and should be awarded the Nobel Peace prize for 193G, without question. Entirely Hypothetical ON the other hand, whnt if the limv vpl hpV m'hp in not. Ethiopia, and a nice little conflict across the sea is on again? What will Uncle Samuel do about it! Ah Uncle S. will do nothing. There is that neutrality measure so recently adopted by He will ship no arms or ammunition to either side. He will export no implements of war, war zone except at their own ships, do everything he can to ens on either side. Uncle Pam will stay out, completely out. A grand and glorious feeling. But how about contraband of war, bacon and beef, wheat and corn and cotton, copper and Lawyers who have ex!r.ineii the export of such articles is not But presumably the chief market will be in Ethiopia. Yet Ethiopia has no navy and no seaport. What will the Italian nnvy do with shipments dispatched to that country t Just what Knglnml did to shipments for and what Germany did (or tried shipments to England. TOW will Uncle Sain like that! How will the farmers who can't sell their whent, the packers who can't sell their meat, the various manufacturers who can't sell their wares of one sort and another, like itt Or if the little war spreads to a big one with all Europe again involved what will the business reaction in this country be, when it is apparent, that neutrality means the destruction of this country's export, trade ENTIRELY. Which will mean in turn, another depression, more serious perhaps than the one from which Uncle Sam is just emerging. Will mi absolute neutrality be as popular then as it is now! Merely hypothetical questions of course. But for those who wish to be realistic about such things, worthy of some consideration.

WEAK BI.OOO AND In any type of anemia or weak blood the assimilation or the power to digest and utilize food is of course an Important fac tor In treatment. Likewise the state of digestion, the functional e f f 1 clency of the atomacn and ln teitlne de termines the pa tient's ability to assimilate Iron or other remedies which may be ad ministered medic inally, or essen tial elements present In certain nat ural foods. In everyday anemia or weakness of blood secondary to various conditions we haven't time to review now. there la generally no serious Impairment of the power to assimilate the natural Iron In food provided the patient receives natural food which contains Iron and therefore there Is little to be gained by taking iron medinally. If neither lack of sufficient food iron nor faulty assimilation Is operating it is futile to try to cure the anemia with Iron, The sensible course is rather to find out what is causing the anemia, whether It be occult bleeding, chronic drug or chemical poisoning, incipient tuberculosis or some silent or slightly troublesome septic focus, and direct the treatment toward removing the cause. Speaking of anemia or weak blood, it may be well to clarify one or two popular misconceptions. The blood doesn't "turn to water" even In the severest degree of anemia: it merely contains less of the red coloring mat ter (hemoglobin) or a diminished number of red corpuscles or both. Blood is always red. never blue. Only the expert eye can detect the differ ence in the normal red of healthy blood. In anemia there is not less quantity of blood in the body than In health, so the anemic individual needs not more blood but strengthen ing of the blood in hemoglobin or in corpusclar richness or both. Hemoglobin Is the pigment in the red blood corpuscles. In the lungs or gills it combines loosely with oxygen, which It carries to the cells of the body, picking up carbon dioxide from the cells or tissues to carry back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is a proteld substance containing Iron. It consti tutes 14 per cent of the weight of healthy blood. The amount of Iron In it Is one part of 300. Hemoglobin may combine not only with oxygen and carbon dioxide (carbonic acid gas) but also, with carbon monoxide (laughing gas). It haa a greater af finity for carbon monoxide than it NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NKW YORK, Sept. n.-Jascha Hel felz hns attained the peuk of his musical career and I.

The magnifi cent silences followed by outbrusts of cheering formed a dramatic emo tional contrast.

The past few years perhaps since his marriage to Florence Vtdor, the movie star have brought forth increasing "heart" beauty and fire to hta playing. Doubtless he Is now at the top.

To the Editor : j The politico! destiny of America j was held in the hsnd of Huey Pierce I Long, the most outstanding defondfr of the common people ever sent from ! the south to the United Slates sr,ate. In clarion tones he commanded ; both of the old parties to cea far- ther exploitation of the American people, to nominate worthy public i servants or he would seek Ihe leader j ship himself. HSs sole desire was tc cleanse the entire naticn of coiTun- tton. even as he has done for his own state. From the time he first entered the United States sens., he champion! the cause of our veterans and work ed tirelessly for the payment of the bonus. j His "share the wealth" clubs j throughout the nation, and especially the south and Mississippi VAlle; re j gions, included millions of loyal'stip j porters, ?wt only among the common I people, but also among tho. of the j privileged c!as who see the wivlom J of sharing the wealth with all classes i tn our beloved country, j Not stn.-e the days of Robert M j LftFoIlette i"Ftghtlr Bob"i and th . rf commoner, WUi'.am J engines Bryan, has there been r bold ciiJii?ion of nameless uuUioos who form the warp and woof of our new world civilization: those whose welfare must be considered if our cherished institutions of democracy are to survive,. Senator Long, early In Qia public career, discovered that ' the greatest danger to all nations, including America, is the group of world finan ciers; those who direct each movo of international intrigue; those men without a country whose objective Is power through the control of gold. These individuals are not interest ed in sharing the wealth to as to create a general prosperity wherein "every man will be a king." During Senator Long's first terra in the senate, the editor of the Medford Daily News urged his readers to watch the career of the young senator from Louisiana, that a great future stretch ed before him. Years ago, Senator Lorv told a publisher friend of mine in the south, 'hat he Intended to make this su preme effort In behalf of the Amer ican people and American ideals; that he might experience imprisonment, sudden death, or both. Yc-t. know ing, he accepted the challenge. As a result of his effort, no Amer ican in public life today was at once so bitterly hated end so deeply loved Huey P. Long has held for months the center-front of the political fctage. . , At this moment his life hangs in the balance the hand of the assassin has struck! The press and the radio that have so continuously derldsd and belittled him, are hushed for the moment In the presence of death, while millions offer voiceless prayer that the life of this patriot be spared to his country. Last night there was still hope of his living, but this morning of Sep tember 10th word comes of his death. The valiant, generous spirit of Huey Pierce Long becomes a standard a tradition.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS "QPEAK only good words of the O dead" is an ancient maxim. Generally speaking, it ia good advice to follow but it can be carried to ex cess. This writer, who Is NOT vindictive, who cherishes no greivances and tries to recognize merit wherever it ap pears, believes it has been carried to excess in the case of Dictator Huey Long, whose assassination is one of the most significant Incidents in American politics. HERE is another proverb that is worthy of consideration in con nection with this tragic and striking event. "Those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword." Huey Long, who crushed American traditions under his heel and set up a one-man dictatorship in the state of Louisiana, swaggered about the country under the protection of an armed bodyguard, after the manner of the big shots of gangdom. It ts not surprising, therefore, that he came to his end by violence, after the manner of the chiefs of gangdom. He who INVITES violence is apt to receive It, - ABOUT the best comment of the whole sad and disturbing affair comes from England, where the Lon don News-Chronicle says: Political murder is always to be condemned. But so is the abuse of democratic methods to suppress lib erty and establish a dictatorship of one man." That spells the story pretty well. HERE is the real tragedy of Huey Long's life and his death: He possessed unusual gifts. For ex ample, he completed a three years' law course in seven months, and suc cessfully passed his bar examinations. That indicates a bright mind. He was able and WLLING to work hard. He possessed the shewd wit and the per sonal magnetism that are essential to leadership. Possessing these brilliant gifts, he chose DEMOGOGISM instead of con structive leadership elected deliber ately to feed people's minds with claptrap instead of wholesome truth. His appeal was to the baser passions and not to intelligence. What a pity what a TERRIBLE Pity! WASHINGTON. Sept. 11. (A) The war department announced to day that Major Lee S.
