Belgians Seize * Theodorus With 1300 Men to End Mountain Revolt.

By GEORGE WELLER Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times | The Chicago Daily News, Inc. NAIROBI, Dec. 17.— Theodorus | Yasou, pretender to the Ethiopian! throne, ha been captured in the| mountains around Saio, after his forces numbering 1300 men were outmaneuvered by Belgian colonials

and troops, according to intelligence | |

reports which have just reached here. Maj. Antoine Duperotix, known among his Congolese troops as “the snake,” acting in co-operation with Maj. John Morris, British resident at Gambela, and other British political officers in QGalla Sidamo|

Described as Weak-Willed Theodorus, also known as Tetdrus, is a weak-willed and easily influenced young man dominated by an energetic sister who was the moving spirit of his short-lived mountain revolution. Theodorus, of a Galla mother, is the great-grand-son of the Emperor Menelik, who died in 1913 and is one of the 70 sons of Ethiopia’s only Moslem emperor, Lij Yasu, who mounted the throne as his grandfather's successor at the age of 17 and was deposed in 19168 by a movement of Christian chieftains. | Theodorus is considered illegitimate by the Government of Haile Selassie. Fails to Grasp Situation Theodorus’ methods of attempting unrest show his lack of grasp gH the Ethiopian situation. Early in October he reported to the British! senior political officer at Saio, ac-| companied by his sister. While instructions were being awaited from Addis Ababa, regarding his disposal, Theodorus recruited 500 men, moved into the mountains and sent a letter to Saio stating that he refused to recognize the Emperor. When his force had increased to 1300 men with machine guns, it was decided that Theodorus’ pretensions must be nipped and his capture and arrest followed.

Making City Defense Center LAW WILL GET TEST

Times Special

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. — Early,

in 1940 when mass arms production was only a dream on paper, there |appeared a two-page advertisement in the Washington Daily News, describing Indianapolis as a “natural” | for the center of defense production. The advertisement, terming Indijanapolis as the “heart of the nation” with natural assets for production, was sponsored by L. Strauss & Co, Indianapolis clothing store, on May 20, 1940. Now, more than 18 months later, the same Indianapolis firm another two-page advertisement in the same W n newspaper, paying “public tribute to the judgment and foresight” of Governmental officials in locating many war industries in Indianapolis,

Tribute Paid to Officials

The Strauss message, appearing Monday, paid tribute to President Roosevelt, cabinet members, Army and Navy officials and Congressional leaders for: 1. “Their uncanny t in planning so early the location of large parts of war industries in inland cities suth as Indianapolis, far removed from coastal enemy at-

| tack.

2. “Choosing Indianapolis, so nearly the “heart of the nation” as most economical for maximum efficiency.

There was no immedi- | industrial energies of Indianapolis—| this war.

The 1040 advertisement listed a dozen or more of Indianapolis’ natural and industrial assets, such as aviation facilities, room for expansion, ideal terrain, etc. At that time, many Indiana Congressmen commended the Strauss advertisement as a public spirited move in behalf of the entire State of Indiana. Today the Hoosier legislators commented on the “tribute”
