Addis Ababa, Aug. 28. Statesmen

The Governor of Hussa Province has reported that the Issa tribe, out of French Somaliland, has raided Ethiopian territory and killed sixty persons.

It is learned here that the French Cabinet has met and agreed that it is impossible to settle the Italo- Ethiopian trouble without a war. However, the chanr of localising the conflict and preventing a break- down of the League of Nations is still good, and France therefore will oppose international penalties against Italy.

The Osservatore Romano, in Vatican City, has revealed that the Pope spoke to a delegation of nurses recently, saying: "A war of conquest is horrible." He said that Italy tormed her

· campaign against Ethiopia a just war, insuring her frontlers against danger of attack, and permitting the expansion of her population. "But," said the Pope, "If the need' for expansion and defence of the frontiers exists we can only hope that a solution can be reached with- out war. It is not easy to see how such a solution can be reached, but we refuse to believe it in im possible," His Holiness added.

LONDON TROUBLED

The raid of the French Somali- land tribes into Ethlopla has caused consternation in European political circles, due to the shifting of the zone of potential trouble to the Franco-Ethioplan border, which up to now has been quiet. There are other. disturbing reports.

ALLEGEDLY KILLED IN GUN FIGHT IN 1934

Washington, Aug. 28. The body of John Hamilton, Public Enemy Number One, has been found and buried by the Federal Depart- ment of Justice police.

The body of the gangster, most daring and cold- blooded killer, first lieutenant in the Dillinger gang, and famous in underworld and police circles for his marksmanship with a revolver, tommy-gun or rifle, was discovered near Oswego, Illinois, in a deserted piece of country.

It was announced that the body was in an advanced state of decomposition. The police are of the opinion that the gangster was killed in the summer of 1934.
