(C-P- B! Guardian's Special Wire)

10802110. Oct. k-Nearly three decades m a young lady in the old kitchen o1 a Prince Edward Ia- land farm home had the vision of s red-headed girl with “e" at the end of her name and the result was the beloved book “Anne of Green Gables.’

Inaisting she did not create Anne but the heroine just "popped into my mind with her red hair and "e" at the end of her name." Mrs. Ewan MacDonald, better known as “L. M. Montgomery.” author of 18 or ll books. disclosed to the Eng- lirh Speaking Union here last night the genesis of the book.

“I wrote "Anne of Green Gables" . in the kitchen .

"Baldwin Places Whole Hope In Collective Security Under League Covenant.

BoimNEMouTir, Eng. Oct. 4_ Prime Minister Baldwin pleaded tonight with Benito Mussolini to stay his hand from any action which will make the.task of the league of Nations harder "even at this hour."

Addressing a great Conservative party mass meeting. Mr. Baldwin pledged the Empire to strive in every way possible through the me- dium of the League to end the Italo-Ethiopian war as soon as possible.

But. he made it plain, Great Britain has no intention of bzcom- ing the lone policeman of Egrope.

"I with l0 make it clear," the Prime Minister told the assemblage 0f 8,000, "that the British govern-

which it was applied under the federal grant. and the money went directly into the pockets of the lsbonng classes. -

“Our opponents think they can slur my reputation by saying I ob- tained that grant for the Exhibi- tion Association. Thcze gentlemen either know the facts, or thev do not. I believe they know. If we were on the street we would call the man making an assertion of that kind a single word. which on a public platform ‘s regarded as unoarlinmentarv, All I have to say is that the stotement is a falsehood." (Applause).

The charge that he had done nothing for Queens County was al- so answered bv M“. McLure. who. after citing his own record and that of Mr. Myers, compared it to the Andrew Fraser Mitchell fiasco which cost this Province several thousand dollars and gave it such unfavorable publicity in the Old Country among British err-soldiers who had been defrauded under the

ment has not and never had any intention of taking an lsolatccl sc- tion in this dispute."

Instead. he said, Great Britain places her whole hope in the pro- gram of collective security under the Covenant of the League.

_ “We cannot afford, either na- tionally or as an Elfipirt). to re- fuse to play our part in the con- tinent in which the hand of God has placed us.’

Mr. Baldwin said the British people must keep in their minds the main objective of the League and its members: that any action to be taken must h: taken with the approval and collaboration of all member nations.

"There are various—-I'm not go- ing to specify them-important na- tions outside the League and the task of preserving peace is the mist difficult. but if the task is aban- doned now, all chance will be gone of what may still be possible; to get the nations of the world in- side the League." he continued.

Had all the world joined the League and had there been “the will to restrain war. the League could have prevented war." ,

Rearmamsnt cf Germany altered the whole perspective oi’ Ill: con- tinent but Great Britain. he as- serted, does not c0n'ider Germany a potential enemy.

The Prime Minister “rcjoiced" in the Labor party's recent decis- ion to support sanctions. if they are voted by the Dengue, and inzdc it clear Britain intends to try to preserve Europzan peace at all costs.

Great Britain had no intention of withdrawing from European af- fairs.

"Isolatlon is a bubble of a dis- ordered imagination," pe said. we are pledged by our signature to the covenant of the League. We have signed the Kellowg Peru's Pact;

"It is not only. in mv viz-w. nur vital interests which dictate our policy, but it is the fulfillnimt n? our solemn international piedgcs."

As for Italy, he said: “There has never been and I hope there will

never be national enmity between my country and Italy."

BARRAGE FOR ADVANCE.

(By Christian Ozanne, Havas , Staff Correspondent) ADDIS ABABA, Oct, 5- (Saturdaﬂ-(C. P.-Hiivas)— intense fighting was report- ed raging ln the Aksurn- Aduwa. front early today with a single Ethiopian divi- sion contesting every foot of the way against Italy’s com- bined infantry, heavy artil- lery, tank and air forces. The Ethiopians were un- dcr command of General Woeldc Gabriel, a subordin- ate of Ras Seyum, chieftain of Emperor Haileﬁelassieh army in Tigre Province south of the Eritrean border. General Gabriel's troops, it was reported, faced the Blackshirt advance without assistance from the main portion of Ras Seyum’s army, which was exhausted after its stubborn defence of Aduwa earlier in the day. Italian planes laid down continuous barrages in the vzin of the invading army, the dispatches said. Ethiop- izin military strategists were depending principally on their infantry, ,while Italy was counting heavily on its air strength,

Three Grfensives

Three major Italian offensives moved relentlessly forward tonight as Ethiopia's fighters hurled them- solves into thc teeth of the We" clsion-liuilt Mussolini war machine.

Almost equidistant from each of thcse fronts lay this capital city, believed to be the ultimate object- ive of the Italian drive.

With officials admitting that Aduwa. bombed by Italian planes icduy for the third time, probably would fall by tomorrow, Ethiopia icund comfort in only two cf the many rmnrts which reached here.

'I‘li:r firs‘. was a dispatch from the extreme north which said an Italian bombing plane had been Aduwa. The second ivas a report that 12,000 Ethiopians had advanced into Er- itrea to the vtest of Aduwa.

ROME, Oct. 4 - Italy’s Fascist legions drove stead- ily forward in Ethiopia to- day, captured one town and expected to take Aduwa. to- morrow, while Benito Musso- lini manoeuvred at home to keep war from spreading in Europe.

Ethiopian warriors are making strong resistance at Aduwa, where an Italian army was crushed in 1896, an official spokesman said. In front of the stronghold tribesmen have entrenched themselves and are main- taining rifle and machine- gun fire.

(Havas said unconfirmed reports reached Asmara to the effect Aduwa had fallen already).

Adigrat, 25 miles east of Aduwii, has fallen into Blackshirt hands, the spokes- man said, and a number of villages were occupied peacefully. No mention was made of casualties in the en- gagements.

Black Shirts all over Rome im- patiently awaited news of the fall of Aduwa. They were called to their various headquarters tonight to make preparations for a celebra- tion of victory, but fthe expected word did not come.
