...wonders if the Power of Trinity has considered the potential threat that exists should he be victorious in this Italian incident. If he has thought of the effect on the great colonial powers were his tribesmen, savage, and untutored in modern military strategy, to defeat the well equipped, tactically superior legions of Rome. Does he not know that the white nations most powerful in Africa will look with deep concern on this native triumph? That prominent Britons will look askance at this hitherto unconsidered puissance which commands the Lake Tana and which may, by example, menace the British hegemony...
...Alaska's 60,000 inhabitants have tucked away 700,000 gal. of alcoholic beverages. Last week, on Repeal's birthday, a group of the more responsible Eskimos at Nome besought the Territorial Board of Liquor Control to make it a crime even to give one of their tribesmen liquor...
...supposed to have been bought by Italian gold. Few days later his men gave the first important reverses to the Italian forces in the desert region south of Mussa Ali (TIME, Oct. 28).

One thing General Mariotti knew: Degiac Kassa Sebat was ahead of him with an indefinite number...
...Haile Selassie, rode in triumph last week into his old capital of Makale. Behind him an Italian officer held high the Italian flag that had been hauled down from the same Ethiopian village in 1896. Behind them both marched a carefully chosen column of Ras Gugsa's own tribesmen, tall fezzed Askaris from Eritrea, and a regiment of Italian Bersaglieri, cock feathers fluttering from their helmets. A thumping band blared Giovinezza while overhead buzzed 21 Caproni bombers led by Il Duce's ace son-in-law, Count Galeazzo Ciano. Ras Gugsa, whose tribesmen had led the unopposed Italian...
