The Negus's statement read like he might hsve been plsglisrizing Kruger. though he wes talking about Itslv. "We were living peacefully In our homeland and had never menaced other people," Selsssie ssid "An invader came and destroyed our homes and defenceless people.

Our subjects were poisoned, burned and decimated by gases sgainst which they had absolutely no means of protection. Our troops saw devastated fields and ruined villages covered with the bodies of the aged and of women and children massacred behind the lines by the pitiless aviation of the enemy." Enthusiasm Soon Died Down. Britain however was resolved to keep South Africa, and in the face of this fact enthusiasm for Kruger oon died down. He died in 1902 in a villa at Claren on the edge of Lake Geneva, a broken and disillusioned old msn. Observers here remembering this episode, find the parallel continues with Halle Selassie's Intention to go to his villa in Switzerland.

BE WN QUEST OF SELASSIE LIKENED TO KRUGER'S Performance on Run to Sheff and Return Pleases Experts Flier to Go in Mile-a-Minuie Detroit' Cleveland Service. BY MARY E. BOSTWICK. Luxury plus in the modernistic manner whizzed across the Indiana landscape at a top speed of ninety-three mile an hour yesterdny when the New Y'ork Central system's streamlined train, the Mercury, built in the Beech Grove shops, made its first test run.

By the dawn's early light spproxi-mstely sixty experts in vsrious lines such ss brakes, air conditioning, lighting, electric devices and refrigeration assembled the Union station to board the train. Destination was the town of Sheff, 102 miles swsy, near the Illinois-Indiana state line. Never heard of Sheff? That makes it even Sheff probably never heard of you, either. It was selected ss the terminus because tracks snd switches are laid out in such a manner as to make it the most convenient place to turn the train around and head it back toward Indianapolis. Christening Next Week.

The train isn't designed to accommodate Indianapolis travelers, however. It was built for the run between Cleveland, and Detroit, 165 miles in 170 minutes, cutting down the previou schedule by a full hour, and will be put in operation about July 15, after being exhibited In New York and other citie in the East, following it official christening in Indianapoli next week. The Mercury ha a It chief mi-ion the recapture of customer lured away from rail transportation by busses, boats, airplane and privately owned automobiles, and it was the consensus of the sssembled expert that if the Mercury can't do the trick, nothing can. The experts were too busy with their dials, gauges, foot-rules, brake inspections and what-not to pay very-much attention to the beauty of the train itself, but the handful of citizens who. bv specisl invttstion.

csme for the ride, had ample opportunity during the six hours they were aboard to see everything and to msr-vel at its beauty, comfort and convenience. Entire Population Turn Out. At many stations the entire population turned out, to stand by the tracks and ways as the train flashed by. a modernistic blur of gray, silver and black, the cars coupled in such a manner that the entire train seemed one unbroken unit. The Mercury was designed by Henry Dreyfuss of New York, noted industrial designer, who was on board yesterday and who ststed, with Justifiable gratification, that the finished train hardly differed ti the slightest degTee from the pictures that thronged his brsln when he took up his pencil, psper and colors and made his preliminary sketches.

Mr. Dreyfuss designed everything hut the entrine. The engine is a brand new affair of the Pacific type, i with a pointed prow and as streamlined as a comet. I The whole train I sir conditioned, i the temperature adjusted so as not to form too great a contrast to the tem-I perature outside. Right back of the Isngins is a combination baggage in style for 2 rents a mile, to coin a couplet to which the New York Central is welcome if it want it.

(oeducatlonul Smoking Room. Stainless teel fittings, leather upholstery in pleasing shades of brown or blue and lighting effects that make reading a pleasure are among the enjoyable features, to say nothing of a coeducational smoking room in the second coach. At either end of this coach are photo murals, one showing the Cleveland sky line, the other that of Detroit. The kitchen is all stainless steel. It has a cavernous refrigerator, I cooling boxes, storage boxes, sink and coal ranges, and a chnrcoal I range for those who are fussy about their steaks.

Right back of the I kitchen is the diner, with a seating capacity of fifty-six. Paneling of flexwood. Venetian blinds snd rust I and white striped curtains specially woven of Rodier fabric as are ail the curtains on the Mercury are i part of the diner's decorative I scheme, ss well as glass Inclosed j.spaces filled with growing plants.

Doors operated by an "eye beam" in a positively spooky manner are Installed In all the cars. At the approach of a passenger, an invisible doorkeeper swing the door open, much to the passenger's astonishment Vast Semicircular Bar. The bar lounge, with its (lex-wood paneling, leather chairs of red, tan and blue, is dominated by a vast semicircular bar of walnut picked out in black, backed by an enormous mirror. The parlor car is done in blue and tan, with a most intriguing compartment in the center where big business men can get together and talk things over amid an environment of beige leather settees with limousine arm rest and adjustable tables with cork tops. The parlor observation car bring up the rear, i with its end section all glass on-j closed and curving to point.

Seats I are arranged back to back in the I center, so that the passenger cm gsze out at the landscape flitting hy instead of sitting and staring at the face of the other passengers. Ususlly the end car wags consider- ably, but while the Mercury was making ninety-three miles an hour. a glass brim full of water was placed on a ledge and not a drop spilled over. Experts Have Busy Day. Numerous stops were msde on both the outbound and inboard trips, and at each stop experts of all descriptions swarmed all over the train, relentlessly searching for things that weren't working right.

Outside of a few minor matters, everything worked perfectly. H. Hardin of New Y'ork, assistant to President Frederick E. Williamon of the New York Central, announced the result of the test run a "completely satisfactory." Included in the list of experts who kept a hawk-like eye on their own specialtie every second were C. F.

Paul Kruger was President of the South African republic that finally fell, to Great Britain in the long, bloody and exhausting Boer War thst ended in 1900 to bring the whole southern tip of the dark continent under British domination.

Set Out For England. Defeated, but with the plaudits of the world ringing in his eers for his sterling defense of his homeland, Kruger set out for Europe to enlist sympathy for the Boer cause while his countrymen carried on their guerilla campaign. A Dutch man-of-war brought Kruger northward, just as a British cruiser later carried the Emperor of Ethiopia away from his devastated native In the Sues canal, Kruger wa saluted by every ship except British ship. Landing at Marseilles he was acclaimed by an immense crowd, similar to that which greeted the Negus when his train pulled in at Waterloo station in London recently. His speech there was, too, a remarkable parallel to the statement the king of kings made in London.
