counting under his breath before he
toK his leap into
the presidential
swim. He hatched
his advance pros
pecta and he re
hatched them.
In the end he
counted up pri
vately to exactly
17 9 delegates.
This Inside fig
ure represented
the force he
thought he could
reasonably e x -
I'UIL MALLON pect to accumu
late for the Republican nominating
convention In Cleveland June 9.
It la roughly one-tthlrd of the del
egates who win be there, not enough
to nominate, but probably more than
anyone else would have If the dele
gates were assembled today.
The way Borah and his counsellora
arrived at their figure Is simple. They
eounted up the twelve states In which
delegates are to be selected by pub
lic primaries instead of private party
convention. They dropped one or
two of these, and added a couple of
states wh'e he has a convention
ehance. Prestol Change-ol 179 dele
gates. if Borah can win anywhere near
that many primaries, he will, of
eourse. be the people's choice. The
number of his pledged delegatea will
not count up to as much aa the
manner In which he won them.
The strong men of the party will
then be compelled to take one of two
.vlli:-iAi.JBorah, or (B) a can
didate who will not be the peoples
) choice, whose chances of election
. therefore may be diminished.
This Is the plain unadvcrtlsed
strategy behind the Borah candidacy.
It has enlivened his personal hopes.
Tbe game will probably not work
cut that way. Since leaping. Mr.
Borah has received several unsympa
thetic Republican friends who might
not have called except that they saw
tola scrawl upon the wall.
It la possible they may be able
to do business with him on compro
mise terms.
Falling in that, the whole Repub
lican strategy may have to be altered.
Tjp to now, the party thinkers have
been trying to avoid fights. They
are encouraging candidacies of favor
fte sons and step-sons In various
atates, also working for unpledged
delegatea In others. They want to
wait until convention time to do
their nominating.
That may prove to be too late.
They cannot beat someone with no
one. They will have to face Mr. Bo
rah In person now. or In the prima
ries, with a real candidate.
At least, that la what Mr. Borah
hopes.

ROME, Dec. 20. (AP) Pre

13.000 naval specialists were
understood to have been recalled
for service.
Most or the specialists, It was
stated, formerly served In the
gun or powder rooms of Itnilan
ships.
By the Associated Press.
The reported loss of an Italian
airplane and alleged apy activities
on both the Italian and Ethiopian
sides were the highlights today of
the Italo-Ethloplan war.
The Ethiopians deported a Greek
on the charge he had engaged In
espionage activities In Ethiopia.
A caravan descending' the slopes
from the central plateau to the
Danakll lowlands east of the north
ern lines was enroute to the Ethio
pian salt fields In the northeastern
part of the country when It was at
tacked by Danakll Irregulars fight
ing for the Italian army, said the
advices.
The Ethiopians were reported rout
ed with heavy losses.
The Ethiopian government an
nounced at Addis Ababa that an
Italian airplane had been shot down
at Daggah Bur.
Ethiopian officials said the pilot
was beheaded.
Marshal Pietro Badoglio's military
police rounded up 12 natives wear
ing Italian uniforms and brought
them before a court martial to be
charged with spying. Three were
turned over to a firing squad, and
nine were given prison sentences.
In the United States the Kellogs
Briand pact renouncing war as "an
Instrument of national policy" was
both criticized and supported In
discussions of America's future neu
