ARMY TRAVELS ON ITS STOMACH IN ETHIOPIAN ROUT AT ENDERTA

Troops in Six-Day Battle Consume 10 Tons Of Jam and 22 Tons of Spaghetti

In Excess of Camp Rations

Asmara Apr. 25 (By Mail). Marshal Pietro, Badoglio's overwhelming victory at Amba Aradam bore out another great military principle of Napoleon Bonaparte-an army travels on its stomach.

Figures issued here to-day reveal that the Italian soldiers ate during those six days of sanguinary_skirmishing and hand-to-hand fighting 10 tons more of jam and 22 tons more of spaghetti than they ate during peaceful days in camp. During the entire fighting, the soldiers were marching over the most rugged territory in the world, and sometimes fighting every inch of the way.

They also found time between { rifle fire to consume above and over their ordinary ratíons: 88,-

UNKISSED WIVES

No Ground For Divorce In England ENGLISH divorce law autho

rities are watching with the liveliest interest a Paris casei in which a young French society woman seeks freedom from a "kissless marriage.”

The petitioning wife's lawyers hope to prove that the fact that the wife has never been kissed by the husband is ground for divorce, a plea which is said to be without precedent in French legal history,

"MENTAL CRUELTY"

Views expressed in London:

Mr. Carr's case is that the song was rejected by the plaintiffs and that, therefore, he was entitled to take it elsewhere. This is denied,

Mr. Dush, further cross- examined by Mr. Henn Collins, K.C. (for the defendant cont- pany), said that when Mr. Carr offered him "Cowboy," in his opinion the time was not propl- tious for marketing it, as "Roll Along Covered Wagon" was still going strongly.

SONG IN RESTAURANTS In his view, any song submitted by Mr. Carr bolonged to his firm, unless ho gave Mr. Care a letter of rejection releasing it. Mr. Dash agreed that at an interview in a restaurant he expressed

Mr. Justice Crossman-In restaurant?

Mr. Henn Collins-That would present no difficulty.

Mr. Justice Crossman-Sung by the diners?

Mr. Henn Collins-Yes, it has been done.

Mr. Henn Collins referred to a number of what he described as "chorus-only" songs. One called "She Wore a Little Jacket of Blue."
