a THE STATE JOURNAL, ADDIS ABABA MOBS ATTACK AMERICANS U. S. Legation Under Siege; Occupants Fight for Their Lives Against Attackers (Concluded from Page 1) the state department in Washington by wireless. the American legation fought off a charge by bandits. After a brisk exchange of shots, the bandits were driven off, Engert wirelessed, leaving one of their number either killed or wounded.

In a message at 10 a. Ethiopian time (2:30 a. eastern standard time), Engert said natives made a surprise attack on the legation's back gates, pouring heavy rifle fire into the compound from behind trees and fences. Mrs. Engert Imperiled Bullets struck dangerously close to Mrs.

Engert, who had elected to stay with her husband, and John Spencer of Grinnell, adviser to the Ethiopian government. Marshall Pietro Badoglio, commander-in-chief of the Italian armies in East Africa, advised his government that Italy's Eritrean troops, acting as "advance point" for the main Italian body, were virtually at Addis Ababa. His daily communique said the advance guard for the motorized column had passed a point some 50 miles from the city which had been reduced to a shambles by mobs carrying torch and rifle. The advance guard is preceded by native infantrymen. Italians renewed their assertions that the Ethiopian empire had crumbled and that Italian domination must be recognized by the world.

In the south, Badoglio advised Rome, "our rapid advance continued despite very heavy rains. Out troops have reached a point 80 kilometers (50 miles) beyond Daggan Bur and have beaten and dispersed the warriors of Omar Samantar the Ogaden population is receiving the liberating Italians joyously." Though the American legation was attacked, a dispatch under the combined signatures of American correspondents in the Ethiopian capital said the wholesale looting had diminished as desperadoes entered the city from the surrounding hills and endangered the lives of both citizens and foreigners. British Shelter 2,000 Refugees Two thousand refugees of 23 natonalities were being sheltered in the British legation. A rescue party from the legation found five persons dead in front of the Turkish legation from which defenders had fled after an attack by rioters armed with rifles and machine guns. Manager Wright of the Bank of Ethiopia was escorted under heavy guard to the British compound at his own request.

Employes were still defending the bank while outside were wild scenes of disorder as natives continued some pillaging and looting of ammunition stores, and firing of rifles into the air. Falling bullets pierced tents on the British legation grounds. The city's business center was wrecked, streets were littered with corpses, government buildings were stormed and foreigners were barricaded against attacks on legation quarters. It was estimated that at least 10 Europeans had been killed in Addis Ababa in the last 48 hours. Among them was one American- Mrs.

In Geneva, diplomats regarded course of the Ethiopian war as a major blow to the constituted. league of nations as at present The questions incident to the Italian victory were numerous but of unanswered.

nations A reframing of the league was considered likely. Inevitable, in the opinion of official Geneva, was peace in Africa dictated on terms laid down by Premier Mussolini, but the nature of those terms remained in doubt. Whether league members would consent to the use of military measures in the future to stop hostilities such as those in Ethiopia was a question which might be considered when the league council meets May 11. At Djibouti, speculation continued regarding the emperor's formal abdication from the throne of the "Conquering Lion of Judah." The fugitive ruler was represented as having little hope of returning to rule over his defeated empire. He and his family were guests in the palace of the French governor-general pending their departure for Haifa.

An informed source said the emperor had left his son. Crown Prince Asfa Wosan, in Addis Ababa to await the arrival of the Italians, and rumors circulated that Selassie would abdicate in favor of Asfa Wosan, the latter becoming emperor under Italian domination. But the Italians had indicated they might place Prince Menelik, grandson of the late Emperor Lidj Yassu, on the throne. Lidj Yassu was dethroned by the late Empress Zaudita and Haile Selassie. The emperor blamed a revolt of his own tribesmen rather than the power of the Italian armies for the collapse of his empire An uprising of the galla tribes in Yego and Wollo provinces, the emperor was quoted, plunged the Ethiopians to defeat on the northern front.

In the emperor's entourage were the Empress Mennen, Crown Prince Asfa Wosan, Prince Makonnen, the two princesses, and his ministers. Selassie gave no indication AS to whether he intended formally to abdicate his throne. Four hundred uniformed members of the chamber of deputies assembled in Rome, expecting Premier Mussolini to announce the climax of the sevenmonths-long campaign for East African conquest. Il Duce was to speak on department budgets -including that for the ministry of colonies--and an expectant populace was hopeful he would make the announcement which will unleash a vast "adunata." or general mobilization, in celebration of final victory. British Cabinet Worried Confronted with Italy's virtual domination of Ethiopia the British cabinet assembled Monday and, reliable sources said, pondered three vital questions: 1-What should Britain's policy he at Geneva when and if pressure is applied to remove sanctions against Italy? 2-What should Sir Sydney Barton, British minister at Addis Ababa, be instructed if a fascist puppet emperor is set up on Halle Selassie's empty throne? 3-What would be the effect of an Italian-controlled Ethiopia on Britain's position in the Mediterranean, Egypt and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan? LANSING, MICHIGAN, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1936 RUSH ARMY INTO ADDIS ABABA Senegalese Troops Will Clear Railroad Station of Rioting Mobs DJIBOUTI, French Somaliland, May 4 (INS) -With rioting reported.

spreading to various points along the Addis Ababa -Djibouti railway French Somaliland authorities Monday decided to send two companies of Senegalese troops to the riot-stricken 1 Ethiopian capital to clear the railroad station there.

AGED, DEAF MAN KILLED BY TRAIN Find Mangled Body of Lester Dristol, 87, Under Cars At Kiddville Special to The State Journal: IONIA, May 4-An aged man run down by a Pere Marquette train at Kiddville Saturday afternoon was identified Saturday night as Lester Dristoi, 87, Otisco township.

Haunted by Nightmare of War, Europe Hovers on Edge of Doom Five Times During Past 2 Years the Continent Has Staggered on Brink of Conflict But Recoiled Just in Nick of Time (In a nightmare of fear that war cannot be averted, Europe has four principal dreams," writes H. R. Knickerbocker, noted foreign correspondent for International News Service, in the 101- lowing article, presenting four possible incidents which it is feared would plunge the continent into long slaughter.

The article is the first of entitled "Europe Skirts per the Pit." which will appear in this paper daily). (Copyright, News, 1936, by INS) LONDON, May 4 (INS) Europe today is a sleepwalker skirting the pit of destruction and all this summer the of impending war will contend with the dream of peace to worry the 400 inhabitants of this troubled continent." Will the summer of 1936 be another summer of 1914? Two years ago your correspondent visited every key try on this side of the Atlantic to try to find an answer to the question "Will Europe go to war?" Today the question is just two years further from a negative answer. Since that investigation the continent came close enough to the brink of the pit to peer over and look down into its bottomless depths five times. Once was when the nazi putschists murdered Dolfuss, chancellor of Austria, July 25, 1934. Once was when Macedonian and Croat terrorists murdered King Alexander of Jugoslavia at Marseilles, October 9, 1934.

Once was when Hitler tore up the military clauses of Versailles and proclaimed new and mighty German army, March 12, 1935. Once was when the British fleet in all its strength and glory steamed into the Mediteranean to make Mussolini stop his war on Ethiopia, September 1935. Last was when the troops of nazi Germany marched into the Rhineland and Hitler denounced the Locarno treaty, Germany's only promise not to attack France, March 1936. Five times in 22 months the continent has wavered on the brink and recolled. With a fatal periodicity the crises have come on an average each four and a half months.

Each time, until now, Europe has recoiled from the plunge. Does this mean that she will always draw back in time? On Edge of Disaster Europe does not think so. Each of the five crises just named have pushed her nearer to the edge of disaster. Each one has shaved off a few feet more of the narrow ledge supporting her. Dollfuss' murder removed the only personality who could have hoped to preserve Austrian independence for any considerable period.

Alexander's murder robbed Jugoslavia of the strong hand it needed to keep his country powerful for peace. Hitler's proclamation of his army in defiance of Versailles threw the continent into a paroxysm of fright which daily grows. Britain's fleet in the Mediterranean is not withdrawn and Mussolini has dared with such audacity that British pride cries to expunge the Finally the tread of German boots across the Rhine bridges aroused such fears in France that Europe trembles in fresh nightmares. The nightmares multiply. Clouded by the infinite complexities of the present, Europe only dreams of what may happen in the future.

None of her dreams are provably probable. All her dreams interlock. fade into one another, mutually contradict. But none of her dreams are absurd. because upon the fears of today depend the actions of tomorrow.

Europe's Bad Dreams Europe's bad dreams are: Number one Austria goes nazi. and Schussnig have smaller basis of popular support than probably any other government on earth. Italian money and the promise of Italian bayonets have kept them power. But Italian money is depleted By H. R.

By any of a dozen conceivable ways Austria goes nazi, perhaps even 1 before Hitler wants it. Immediately Mussolini throws his army into Austria to keep Germany out. Germany mobilizes against Italy. France mobilizes Germany. The war is on.

This against is a dream, but every European dreamer knows even when he is wide awake that it could happen any day. Number two -The three million Germans in Czechoslovakia closely grouped along the border of the Reich, declared their independence of the Prague government and elect to join nazi Germany. Prague denies their right to secede and mobilizes and civil war ensues. The German Czechs call on Berlin for help. Prague calls on Paris and on Moscow, her allies.

The war is on. Britain Versus Italy This is a dream, but Hitler's program to amalgamate the German speaking peoples of Europe into his third empire remains not only unrepealed but paramount. It is a dream but it keeps Prague from restful slumber. a Number three -Britain, exasperated beyond endurance by Mussolini's defiance, determines to crush him. Britain pushes sanctions until they hurt so badly that Mussolini faces either submission and an inglorious end or war and a glorious end.

He chooses the latter. Britain's fleet closes the Suez canal, blockades Italy. Italy's air force destroys a number of British France, forced support to Britain, holds her a fearful promise, eye on Germany. Austria's nazis, free the fear of Italian intervention, revolt and precipitately announce union with Germany. France, despairing at the quarrel between her two allies, and conscious that this is her last chance before the new Austro-German reich of 72,000,000 is consolidated, throws her army against Germany.

The war is on. Number four--Japan's "young officers," untamed by Tokyo's civil government, drive so far into Mongolia that Russia replies with a blow even Tokyo cannot take. War begins in the far east. As the Soviet forces in western Russia are gradually depleted to reinforce the Siberian army and as Soviet transport and supplies grow more and more disorganized, Germany watches with waxing impatience. Europe Numb with Fear Poland, already partially mobilized to guard her Russian frontier, is subjected to German pressure to join a raid to take the Ukraine.

Presently Poland has to choose between war with Germany or war with the Soviet union. She chooses heavy hearted to go, with whom? Not even the Poles know, but France is pledged to support the Soviet union against attack and Poland is pledged to support France. In any case not a single conflict between two nations in Europe today can be envisaged which does not lead inevitably to a general conflagration. Can the initial conflict be avoided? Some would still say "yes" but none would dare to say it with as much assurance as even two years ago when Europe was already alarmed. Within the last year men under arms in Europe have been increased by nearly two million men; 400,000 Germans, a 800,000 Italians, 200.000 0.000 Frenchmen, and at least 500,000 Englishmen, Poles, Austrians, Czechs, and men in all the small countries of Europe now armin ing desperately, not in the hope of ing able to beat off an enemy great power, but in the hope of holding off the invader until a friendly great power comes to the rescue.

The old expressions "armed camp," "race of death." "trembling on the brink," have grown hackneyed, and America may be bored with the incessant cry of "wolf." from the European sheepfold. But the cry comes from a continent that is literally numb with fear. Its poisons pour daily into the economic blood stream. Its toxins warp the minds of a whole generation of youth. What are the realities behind this cry which has become a chorus?

ITALY TO DEMAND ITS POUND OF FLESH Selassie's Flight Destroys Last Hope of Compromise, Mussolini Says ROME, May 4 (INS) Flight of Emperor Halle Selassie, his family and his chieftains to Djibouti in French Somaliland to escape the fascist invaders of his realm has eliminated the last possibility of compromise Italy on her demands regarding Ethiopia. This was the opinion expressed in well-informed circles in Rome Monday while the official Italian press blazoned the predicament of the Negus in screaming, jubilant headlines and announced that the Italian advance guard had reached the outskirts of blazing, riot-torn Addis Ababa. Announcement that the Italian vanguard is on the Ethiopian capital's outskirts climaxed a long, rapid drive from the north over difficult terrain, negotiated by the troops and motorized columns under command Marshal Pietro Badoglio, leader of the Italian northern army. In Rome the flight of the Negus is considered outright abdication from his throne.

Officials here assert no competent Ethiopian official now exists with whom negotiations might be carried on by Italy. LEFTIST GROUPS SWEEP TO VICTORY IN FRANCE (Concluded from Page 1) and former president of the radicalsocialist party, was re-elected at Lyon. The leftist victory brought exultant crowds to the streets of Paris during the night as thousands awaited the returns. Extra police details were required to keep right and left sympathizers in check and to prevent clashes. With left parties still celebrating their victory, many observers believed Edouard Deladier, president of the radical-socialist party and the sponsor of a strong program for domestic and foreign peace, would be the premier heading the new left government.

Premier Albert Sarraut's coalition government, apparently doomed by the strong leftist victory, sought to avert financial repercussions which might endanger the franc. office until the new chamber meets The premier, who will remain in June, conferred with his ministers on the treasury situation. Government supporters feared that alarm in financial quarters might prevent the treasury from halting the flow of gold abroad tapping hoarded funds for loans. The difficulties which officials conceded were in prospect, however, were expected keep the leftists to a cautious policy. BERLIN, May 4 (P)-The swing to the left in the French parliamentary elections was regarded in nazi circles Monday as "the logical result of the Franco-Russian act" of mutual assistance.

In a 17-word speech before a wildly enthusiastic chamber of deputies, Il Duce said: "I have ordered a general rally, at which I shall make the announcement you are waiting for."
