The Paris announcement and - the revelation of the BritishFrench divergense constituted by i Eden's plan to avoid Paris, showed the gravity of the ItalianEthiopian crisis. Statesmen of Europe from the Arctic ocean to the Black Sea, of old powers and countries which ‘ did not exist as units until 15 years ago. began a brief week of ■ consultation on which the peace 1 of the cOhtinent, and perhaps others, depends.

Approve Firm Stand t Paris, Aug. 28 — <U.R) — The i French cabinet, in a three-hour seseion today, was understood to • have approved a firm French t atand at Geneva against interna- : tional penalties against Italy. > The cabinet has abandoned hope s of seeing the conflict in Africa settled without war, but was increasingly ■ optimistic on the chances of localizing It, avoiding a breakdown of the league of nations and of France’s policy on ' the continent. 1 Paris was hopeful that the ten- ( sion between Italy and Britain would be settled as a result of '[the Italian decision to present r • Italy's case to the league council ■ next Wednesday. 'Success of the league machinery depended, however, on an agree- > meat by Italy to suspend military t action pending a league decision, i If Italy refuses, the situation is ; hopeless. r o U. S. RESENTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE , couvey in this (protest, it was explained. was that there would be a definite and progressive "cooling off" in Soviet-American relations ' unlees the Soviet government agraed to curb the anti-American activities of the co-mmunist international. Observers believe Hull's advisers push ed him too far out on a limb I in the wording of his protest, and - that now Hull is faced with a diffi-, cult decision. It is believed that any action by the United States short of recalling Bullitt would -be Interpreted by the Soviets as ba king down from the vigorous stand taken in the (protest. In view of the text and tone of the Soviet reiply, commentators here believed that two of the most acceptable alternatives open to the ' administration, short of an actual rupture of relations, are: 1. Dispatch of another note to Moscow- setting forth more specifically the grounds upon which the charges that the Soviet government had violated its pledges were based on. 2. Recall of ambassador Bulitt, [ leaving the embassy in Moscow in charge of a minor secretary. o COURT HOUSE Separation Requested A separation for three years from Thomas A. Leonard has been requested by his wife. Frances M. Leonard. Cruel and inhuman treat- j ment was given as the grounds for the separation. The custody of the seven children, a restraining order and alimony are requested by the plaintiff. Estate Cases The final report was filed in the estate of Ferdinand H. Tablet - . It was made returnable on Septent-. her 18. A petition and schedule to de- , termine inheritance tax was filed in the estate of Adam Ward John. ' It was referred to the county assessor. A written appearance was entered by Lutz and Myers for the de- j fendant, the administratrix of the estate of Elizabeth Morrison in the application for the appointment of a receiver. o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

CANDIDATE OF LONG TRAILING , Huey Long’s Mississippi Candidate Losing For Governor Jackson Mian., -Aug. 28-(UP) — ' | Mhtsweippi s bitter gubernatorial election still was in doubt today. Hugh L. White, industrialist, was leading Paul B. Johnson, oncehearlded candidate of Huey P. Long, 14,392 votes. Returns from 1,434 of the state's 1831 precincts gave White 156,364 . votes to Johnson's 141,972. An estimated 379.000 .ballots were cast in yesterday's second Democratic primary, which is equivalent to election as there is no Republican opposition. Johnson had been generally labeled Long’s candidate and his race was considered a part of Long's campaign to capture the political offices of Mississippi and Arkansas as he has those of Louisiana. White based much of his campaign on the issue of "Huey Long dictatorship," and Johnson finally disa- . vowed the Kingfish and all his workings. Bilbo, a Bible quoting, ba.-k-ot-the sugar-house politician similar in technique to Long, rushed here from Washington to campaign for his protege. His estranged wife campaigned for Johnson. Many (political observers believe I the national administration depends : upon Bilbo to deliver solid Roosei velt delegations to the Democratic convention from southern states threatened by Long's share-the-wealth revolt. A former governor of Mississippi, a former .Baptist minister, he affects a rural hit, a homely exterior, and bad English as Long does. He was with his candidate early today, hoping later returns would put White into office. White is a capitalist; Johnson is ( a lawyer. The campaign was largely on personalities. Official Slain Jackson, Miss., Aug. 28 —(UP) — An election official was slain, bis parents were both wounded, the father gravely, and several others ! were injured in a shooting and knife ! fight near the poling place at Lorena. Smith county, yesterday. Bundy E. Bruce, 36. election supervisor, was shot as he approached the voting place. He died in the arms of his mother, Mrs. Frank Bru.e, 60, who was struck and hurt. Meantime, the slain man's father. Frank Bruce. 63, was shot in the abdomen, G. W. Banks, 26. and Otto Bruce, 25, were gashed on the : throat and arm, respectively, by | knives. Officers today sought two men : accused of the shooting. In the resulting confusion they escaped. The j trouble was laid to local politics. WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILEWithout Calomel -And You II Jump Out of Bed io the Morning Rarin’ to Go i The liver should pour out two pounds of | liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile ; is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Your whole system is poisoned and you feel sour, i sunk and the world looks punk. Laxatives are only makeshifts. A mere bowel movement doesn't get at the cause. It takes those good, old Carter’s Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely agid make you feel “up and up ". Harmless, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow freely. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills by name. Stubbornly refuse anything else. 25c. O 1931. C. M. CO.
