JAEMBER Italians Great Soldiers, Ethiops Far Over-Rated, Correspondent Reveals Censors Kept Real War Story Out Until Duce's Forces Had Blacks at Mercy Too Late for Interference (Editor' Note: Thla Is the third of a aerlea of six atorle on the thrilli trlcountered by a war corresponden t and un censored revelations regard ing the Italian conquest.) By EDWARD l, NFIIs (Copyright, 1930, by Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Aug. 38.

Incidentally, the Ethiopian Is the most over-rated fighter In the world. , He dance himself Into a fury. waving his sword, before going Into battle. . . . Then he screams and ushes forward, a grant movie mob scene. ... He runs forward until the Italian machine guns have mowed down everyone around him. . , . As soon as he finds himself alone, he drops everything. . , , He Just doesn't otreat, he goes all the way home, buries his sword, and plants some corn or something. . . .

Extra NEW YORK, Auk. ail. With the disappearance of the old-faahloned family and thus the "family ant ranoe" wa have today a disen chanting line-up of ladles at tho beer bare. Ladles feeling high, roguishly rouged buoyantly bus- ned and entirely too com-hlther, They look at one aa thougl. to aay: "Whatever It la you ware going to aay, don't aay It. We've heard It before We know all the anawera. eto." Thus developa a class that not only men tion unmentlonablea but shouts them. And In thla wa have lost something. The blushes, shyness, sclf-conselousnesa. It would be apt Just now to recap ture the fun of the old huskln' boo with It red ear and all that. 1 am thinking of a church supper given cut our way a crotch of the creek place of mooing oowa, oaken water buckets with gourd dippers and snarled apple trees. And I recall tho fresh, red facea of those bosomy matrons who aerved such a swell chicken dinner flskey fried ohlcken and cocoanut cake with two-ftngered icing and I'd Ilka to trade somehow about two dosen girls of the beer bare for one blushing girl In blue gingham. I met the lale Tommy Melghan but once, although we had exchanged sev eral notes over a period. The meet ing waa at a Billy Seaman dinner and Melghan waa already beginning to allow the wear of the devastating malady that consumed him. ills name was tied chflely to "The Mir. acle Man," which made him, Lon Chaney and Betty Oompson. Betty Compson Is recalled tor the curl of her Hps In that picture. She played a lady of the underworld. The story tinned that aha had gone through plenty of trouble trying to catch on In Hollywood- and was drafted for that picture when In full blown pout at careering And the director rec ognised the value of keeping her In that mood. Melghan talked chiefly of Cleorge Ade, hi friend whom be Inveigled with over-night success Into scenario writing. There waa no one so great In literature, friendship or under standing to him as Ade. Indeed, one if the most devoted friendships I ever knew about. Melghan and Ade Cld a sort of reappearance later. that Is, Melghan played In a picture Ade wrote called, "Back Home and Broke," a awell picket-fence drama with touches only Ade knew how to scatter.

The cutest diplomatic stunt of the century was Italy's handling of cen sorship and newspapermen. . . , Even nice things about Italian soldiers couldn't get through to the papers. . . . Reason: As long as Ethiopia foolishly claimed victories she wasn't winning, the League of Nations and the. world at large were lulled Into a sense of security as to the negus's ability to handle the situation with out help. , . , The truth about the situation, what we were trying to write, might cause someone to force Italy's hand. . . . Result: No one fully realized that Ethiopia waa tak ing one terrific beating after anothet until the Italians arrived in Addis and asked the world, "So what?" Things that never were told: A negro woman slipped Into Italian headquarters two nights before the negus's last fight at Mai Ceu and gave all his plans for the attack to: the Italian general, . . . When the Ethiopian Imperial guard advanced, ! the Italians retreated until 10.000 1 black men were racing triumphantly p.fter them through a valley enclosed by two steep hills. . . . There were 600 machine guns hidden on the tides of those hills. ... A little later there were 7,000 dead Imperial guardu In the valley. ... Most of the Italians wounded In the body died of Infections In field hospitals because asepsis was ImpoS' slble. . . .

A READER of thla column takes exception to the statement that preaching the doctrine of class strug gle (with the resuttlng class hatreds that arise) will lead this country to what la happening In Europe now. He says: "Before you or anyone can, with any fairness, criticise any one for aaylng and preaching that there la a class struggle you should come to the point of whether or not there Is a class struggle." He adds: "I maintain that there la a clasa atruggla her now. I aiao maintain that It Is caused by the conflict which exists between the ' methods of production and those of appropriation and distribu tion of wealth. I maintain that this struggle will go on until the methods of appropriate nand dis tribution are harmonised to the methods of appropriation and dia taln that here In America thle can only be accomplished by collective ownership of the means of production with not only pro duction, but also distribution regulated by those who produce, through an Industrlsl republlo of labor." N OTHER words, this correspondent nays, the class atruggle must go on (In America aa eisewneret unui the capitalist system Is overthrown iitid a communist (or worker') dic tatorship is erected In It place. THIS correspondent aays: "Since I belong to an organl- ratlon, the Socialist-Labor party, which claim there la a class struggle In thla country, and since truth can only flourish In the open, I think you owe me space to expresa my views on this question." Aa to that, this writer can only aay. with Voltaire: "With what you say, air, I disagree most heartily; but I will defend wllh my life your right to say It." BUT. purely on hla own account, this writer would like to point out again thla fact: N In Europe, for generations, the doc trine of clasa atruggle (with Ha ac companying hatreda) haa been preach ed notably by Karl Marx and hla follower. The present result of this preaching Is a struggle between faa clstn and communism that threatens to plunge Europe again Into bloody and terrible war.

I mention the old Spanish custom (hacking the tonsil out by gulllo tine, snare, dissection or "enuclea tion") only to deplore the use of It In any case where the modern method la applicable.

Cornmuriications Truffle. Problems Solved. To the Editor: I hav ben pretty busy lately tvnd haven't had time to write; but this piling up of auto accidents haa got me going again and I want to apeak of some serious faults and the easy remedlea, that la, they would be eaay if we had some one to enforce them. I will start off with bikes; for gosh sake, klda, look where you're going. A large part of bike riders ride along looking behind them; and also those loaded with two on the bike or a load, of goods on one arm or not holding the handle bars. One serious fault In our car problem la the lack of downtown parking space: now if the business men who are down town all day wouM only work up gumption enough to decide to walk two blocks between the car and business he could teare hla car that far out and leave the downtown area open. Then tiie double parking problem, t don't blame anyone when there Is absolutely no place to park, and then he should pull over near the parked cars, but you actually see cars strapped right out In the traffic lane and, alt kinds of parking apace either right behind or in front of him. There la the alow driver that you have to continually bob around In order to get anywhere and also the usual fast driver. My Information Is that a safe speed la 23 milea per hour. That gets there fairly fast and If you bump you do no particular damage and no one la going to have to bob around you. t want a word also about hand sig nals. Honestly, you can't pay the, least attention to these signals be cause the person giving them doesn't seem to know the proper signal, the hand held down at the aide of the car Indicates "atop." Now if you are too lag? to hold your arm straight ou t for a le f t turn, t hen for bos h HS-iSM rv yis i I j You will try I I Bell-an for I I I v lndluetton. sake don't hold It out at all; we would rather go It blind than to try to guess at what you mean; It'a a cinch we can't truat your signal. The bottle neck problem at the bridge Is still with us. It Improved a lot when the yellow atrlpe was put on because now the Incoming care are held far enough out so the out going cars can get around that car that la everlastingly parked on the end of the bridge by the Roxy the ater. But the stop problem at River side ts a bad one. It la all tight to stop, but please don't etay there all day. Riverside should be a through street there, hut "alow" signs lor cars on it would protect the cross traffic and Main atreet traffic anouia speed up their length of "stop." The car tracks will be fixed and the drunk driver Is beyond hope, past what Is being done. My remedy for a lot of this would be some more stringent rule and then someone please PAGE the po lice department and see If they can not be found somewhere. I know that whenever I had a Job at wages I had to WORK at It. "hit the ball" all day long and not put In my time loafing around. Respectfully. GEO. IVERSON.
