SYRACUSE, INDIANA. THURSDAY OCTOBER 24, 1435.

I MISSIONARY SAYS ETHIOHAWILL WIN Describe* Method of Warfare of Italians Against Natives; Climate Against White*. Last Thursday afternoon’s daily newspapers with United Press service carried a story concerning young Hockman, cousin of Mrs. Nelson Miles, who is a missionary in Ethiopia. According to his opinion,. Italy is licked already. The story was: HARAR. Ethiopia—An American medical missionary hurrying from the Ogaden war xone to beg Emperor Haile Selassie for hospital supplies, reported today that Italian troops are using chlorine gas and dumdum bullets with devastating effect against whole villages but are encountering fanatical resistance. The missionary, Robert W. Hockman, of Wheaton, 111., a graduate of Northwestern university and Muskingum college, of New Concord, O. said his Red Cross station in Jijiga has treated hundreds of horribly mutilated victims of the outlawed dum dum bullet, which spreads when it hits, and of gas that burns the lungs and blinds everyone in its path. Italian airplanes dropping bombs on villages over a huge area from Italian Somaliland almost to Jijiga and from the British Somaliland border to the Wabee Shibeli river have sent unending lines of broken victims crawling back to Jijiga and smaller interior towns, he said. Seeks Antidotes for Gas. Hockman left his hospital post to seek a supply of antidotes for the Chlorine gas that has kept his small hospital filled for days. Chlorine is the standard gas of the invading army, he said, but mustard gas has made occasional appearance. Hockman estimated that the veteran and skilled fighter Ras Nasibu has more than 1,000, COO effective and skilled fighters hidden away in the canyons and jungles of the valleys up which Gen. Rodolfo Grazxiani is driving his Italian troops. “It may be the greatest ambush in history,** Hockman said. Airplanes by scores have bombed and machine-gunned Ethiopia, ground almost twd weeks and have devastated dozens of villages but have made little advance, he said, against the guerilla bands that hide In the bush while the aviaton circle unalarmed overhead and then fall with savage delight upon Italian regiments. Scurvy Afflicts Ethiopians. “After two weeks of fighting,” Hockman said, “the Ethiopian leaders are so confident that they boast they will drive Italians out of Africa out of Somaliland, Eritrea and Lybia. “The men down at the front are supplied with everything they need except limes, lemons and fresh vegetables. Quite a few of them have scurvy but Ras Nasibu has ordered citrus that should remedy the condition. ” The only military supplies needed he said, were gas antidotes and small trucks might be of doubtful value because Italian motor corps have encountered serious difficulties in negotiating trails traversed before only by mules and camels. “I think Italy is licked already,** the young missionary said. “Since the invasion began I’ve talked with hundreds of people from the Ogaden front and Fve held the hands of quite a few who died. I think Italy will never conquer Ogaden and I doubt whether it will succeed in the north.** Hockman is only 29 but ho has been in Ethiopia two years. Hto wife and other women of the missionary colony went to Egypt when the war began.

FRESHMEN MAY PLAY THE YEAR Larger Squad is Out for Basketball Team At School. With the first basket ball game of the season only a week away, basket ball is beginning to take on an important aspect at the Syracuse High School. Practise is being held three nights a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Fundamentals are being stressed by Coach Holly, but he is also taking some time to show his squads a few plays. He claims that he will have a team that can pass the ball or break a leg trying. Squads for the first and second teants have been fairly definitely decided. Those that are on the first team squad are James Stucky, c; Herschel Bitner, Richard Beck, and Christian Kober, forwards; and Ed Coy and Herman Doll, guards, j Others on the squad will be George ; Bill Smith and DeWitt Disher. Ac-. ; cording to Holly the first team will j be built around Stucky and Bitner, j who are seniors this year and who ■ played on the team last year, j Herman Doll also seems to have one ] <>f the guard positions sewed up, j leaving two positions for three of I five men to fight over. ’ Boys on the second team squad I ere Earl Held, Nelson Auer, Oliver j ard Juday, Harold Kline, Oliver i Hibechman, Ernest Strock, Burton ! Niles, Robert Hinderer, James Miller and Stephen Snavely. this year are larger than ever before, 8 men on the first team and 10 men on the second team. Another innovation of Holly’s is that freshmen can play which has never been done before. Holly said that if any freshman is good enough he can play ; on the • first team. ■ Prospects foj a winning l 'team are good. The players are big, fast, and experienced. A teem of six foot players could be put on the floor anytime, if such a condition is desired. The players on the first ' string squad have had plenty of ex- j perience-t-in fact most of them are j Seniors. The style of play will be the same as last year, according to Holly. A alow break will be used if possible and if necessary a fast break. Mix the plays up is the method being stressed. A passing g.me is going to | he developed, so there ought to be some thrillers coming up. More can be told about the team : after the first two games are over. | They will be tough, for the first, a week from Friday to with Syracuse’s old time rival, MiMbrd, and on the following Friday with Cromwell. Holly believes that his team can win both of them. 0 ENJOY BOOK REVIEW. The Wednesday Afternoon Club’s guest day waa held at the home of, Mie. Stephen Freeman, yesterday, with 45 present.

FARMERS TO VOTE ON THE HOG PROGRAM Group Hears Merkle Monday; To Vote Saturday, 26th. ’ < On Saturday, October 26, farmers all over this country will vote whether or not they favor a cornhog adjustment program to follow the 1935 program which Expires November 30, 1935.. Farmers within Turkey Creek township will vote on the nation-wide referendum at the Syracuse Library. Ballots can be cast from 8 a. m. until 10 p. m. Absentee ballots can be cast, explained Roy Merkle, Claypool, president of the Kosciusko county allotment committee, by farmers giving their ballots to one of. the Turkey Creek township allotment committee. Those on the committee are Russel Warner, Clee Hibschman and Loren Eyer. Absentee ballots will be placed in envelopes and will not be opened until some time Saturday. 85 Per Cent of Farmers Must Vote Merkle said at a meeting of farmers of this vicinity Tuesday night at the Library that it would be the duty of the township committee to get out 85 per cent of those eligible to vote on the referendum, so that a clear expression of the sentiment of the farmers could be obtained. Those eligible to vote, explained Merkle, are those farmers who signed the 1935 program or those who were eligible to sign the program. As the farmers vote a check will be made against a list of those eligible to vote. Merkle also said that there would be no publishing of the vote by township, but that the results would be published by counties. Political Aspect of the Referendum If the referendum to against the program, Merkle warned those at the meeting, it will be no use for the farmers to ask for another farm program to be placed in the platform of either major political party for a number of yeals. He said that the present program was advocated by the Farm Bureau -and the Grange and that the Farm Board program under the Hoover regime was a Farm Bureau program. He also stated, that the grass roots convention of the Republican party had adopted as a part of their program a farm program similar to the one in effect now, showing that both parties* were in sympathy with the farm movement, but he thought if vote was against the program both parties would have nothing to do with any farm program. Merkle also reminded the farmers that no matter how much the opposition party ridiculed and fought the program, that Hoover and Coolidge both had stated that any movement that the farmers might try to better prices of their produce would fail unless the program was baaed on a reducion of farm produce. Now we have a program based on reduction but the opposition as could be expected fights it. he stated. Against Adjustment. Much of the opposition against the program that one hears comes from the metropolitan newspapers, Merkle f said. Why they were opposing the movement Merkle had no clear explanation except that these papers were afraid that the power of capital would be curbed. He also blamed the metropolitan press for the consumer attitude towards the cornhog program, saying that they were urging the housewives to boycot pork. He said that the processors attitude towards the program was not consistent. He said that the processor tells the farmer he must pay them less on account of the tax, the consumer he must charge them more on account of the tax, and the general public that he must absorb the tax. 1 Merkle Mid that capital to opposed to the AAA program, claiming that the New Deal to discouraging the use and accumulation of capital, and that the adjustment plan is Socialism. Reasons for Program. Merkle said that the unprecedented demand for brood sows shows thst there to more feed in the country according to the amount of livestock, than there has been in 50 years, and that farmers to protect themselves, there should be some sort of a program so that an adjustment between supply and demand can be kept. He also said that with the loss of foreign markets fanners were faced with the problem of reducing (Coattnued on Last Page)
