Successful Yeal-‘s Work

Interviewed last evening with rs- Bard to tho work accomplished dur- ing the past year, Mr. A. B. Robert- son. Moncton, Grand Master. raid:

“The idea we stariod out with was concentration on building up nem- bership. not only increasing the members“, but also adding ill- right kind of members by stressill} the importance of the work. You see we get for remuneration only the satisfaction of work well cone, and therefore we are more or less idealists. The order is the greatest of its kind numerically in the world; by reason of the fact that we have been blessed for the principles dis- played. the principles which are the essential features of all true religion and of any system of , llosopfiy which has meant anything to the world. At no time have those prin- ciples been more necess y than to- day. ‘Thom-fore, we strive to build up this organization, the members of which in living the kind of life they do. are performing a real task in the world. If the principles of Oddfellowship were mods universal the ills of tho nations and individual’ social troubles would disappear.

Young Officer Slashes To Death Maj. Gen. Tatsuzan Nairata.

(C. R-Havas)

TOKYO, Aug. 12-—Extrerrl.lsts of the Japanese war party today pro- voked a crisis in the government when a young officer, Lleut. Col. Aizawa, stalked into the office of Mal-Gen. Tatsuzan Nagata, di- reclor-general of Japanese milit- 8-1’? affairs, and slashed him to death with his sword.

Gen. Nagatais life was heroically defended by Col. Hideo Nimi, Tokyo's chief of police, who was reporting on official matters. but the police chief was no match for the assailant. an expert sworflman and fencer. A sword thrust wound- ed Col. Nimi. whereupon the in- truder struck at tho General and ran him through. Lieut. Alzawa was afterward placed under arrest.

Tokyo was immediately stirred by the rumor that Senjuro Hay- ashi, Minister of War, would resign.

The assassination was not an-

nounced until some time later, as a strict censorship was established. In accordance with the Japanese military" tradition, Gen. Ncgata was promoted to the rank of lieu- tenant general. His death was then announced, ' The assassination of Gen. Nag- ata, who was virtually general ad- ministrator of’ the Japanese army, revealed the existence of wide- spread hostility between older and more experienced military leaders and younger school of militarists who have been credited with many of Japan's recent imperialist moves. Gen. Nagata. was said to have been urging more moderate policies in the War Department, and was nbly seconded by Gen. Hayashi, who was responsible for his being appointed to the high post he held. Gen. Nagata was regarded as one of Japan's most brilliant officers and had been mentioned as a pos- sible prime minister.

(Canadian Press;

Although rumor in political circles held the Conservative Gov- ernment of Prince Edwrad Island, defeated in general elections July 23, would resign ‘Thursday. it could not be learned definitely tonight when Premier W. J. P. MacMillan would tum over the reins of government to Premier- elect Walter M- lea.

No proposed appointments to the new Cabinet had been an- nounced, but nine of the 30 mem- bers of the Liberal Government were definitely in the running for the five portfolios of the Provin- cial House.

Banner-Premier Lea declared before a Liberal supporters‘ picnic _on his Victoria estate yesterday: "There is a surplus of timber with which to build a Cabinet and I have given the matter of forming ll. Government a great deal of earnest consideration."

In order to give Prince Edward Island the best possible Cavem- ment, Premier Lea said he must have liberty to pick and choose as he sees fit.

(Jo-operation, he urged, would be necessary to give the people the Government they expect.

In all probability Premier Lea will be the next Minister of Agri- culture, a, post which he held in the last Provincial Liberal Gov- ernment, although J. Walter Jones, internationally known as a breeder oi’ Holstein cattle and holder of the only degree of Master Farmer in the Province, was also mentioned- A third can- didate for the portfolio is W.

DURBAN, South Africa, Aug. 12—The veteran South African soldier and statesman, Jan Christian Smuts, gave warning to the world today that an Italo-Ethioplan war, may strike a spark which will explode the powder keg of relatlonsbetweerl blacks and whites throughout Africa.

_ I think it will shake the whole system of civilization touts foundations, should the League of Nations fall at this critical moment,” he told an interviewer.

“It will create a serious position because of the repercussions in ad- joining British territories and the intensification of black-against- white feeling.

“There is no doubt in my mind that invasion of Abyssinia by Italy will arouse the most anxious feel- ing through Africa. between the whites and the blacks. We have seen the effect the Russo-Japanese war had in raising feeling between Europe and Asia. This Abyssinian adventure by Italy npy be most far-reaching in its effect on the African mlnd- It may spread over the whole African continent. You may find every African sympathiz- ing with Abysslnia."

General Smuts expressed the opinion Italy is banking on the divergent views of France and Britain to prevent them from tak- ing a strong position as interced- ers.

Long, Costly War

He also predicted a long and costly war, in the event Mussolini attempts to storm the Ethiopian stronghold. Recalling his own guerilla tactics in the Boer War he said the terrain over which he led the Boers is similar to that of Ethiopia.

Smuts indicated he views the possibility of Japanese support for Ethiopia seriously,
