Simultaneously, 350,000 other fascist troops will engage in war drills in other sections. Naples—A tremendous ovation was given the departure for Africa of nearly 6,000 troops, including two sons of Benito Mussolini and his son-in-law. ### DIG TRENCH SYSTEM. ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 24.—(AP)—The Ethiopian army began hastily digging a system of trenches along the Italian frontiers today, hopeful of staying the expected thrust of Benito Mussolini's fascist warriors. Emperor Haile Selassie at the same time brought home graphically to the population the danger of war from the skies "When you hear warnings, abandon your homes and flee," the proclamation said. "Airplanes will seek out crowds massed on constructions. Run to the woods, spread out and hide. "This warning is given at the present time when everything is quiet in order that you need prepare in advance to carry out instructions." In the vent [sic] of an air attack, it explained, "three cannon shots will be fired from the palace. Factories will sound sirens, churches will ring their bells ceaselessly. Six cannon shots will be fired when the attack terminates, whereupon return to your domiciles." Foreign military advisers who went to the border by air are directing the construction of trenches. This manner of warfare previously was unknown to the fierce Ethiopian warrior, who relied on barricades of loosely-piled stones. The nation is preparing for a supreme emergency, despite negotiations in Europe to avert war. Fired by the wave of patriotism, chiefs of various tribes are creating a national war fund. They are donating their gold and silver ornaments and precious stones which for generations have adorned saddles, shields and trappings of their horses and mules. Many animals have harnesses covered with hundreds of silver dollars. Many heirlooms were offered to the fund. Women joined in so far as they were able, some donating gold wedding rings, bracelets, and earrings. In order to acquaint the populace with aircraft, the emperor's personal airplanes are flying daily over the capital. Anti-aircraft guns have been placed at strategic points, hidden among eucalyptus trees. Americans believe Italians would not attempt to bomb the foreign section, which is the most visible part of the city. The British legation started construction of accommodations for 125 British-Indian troops, arriving in a fortnight to supplement the legation guard. American officials completed plans to evacuate the 75 American women and children in Ethiopia in the event war is declared. REPORTED ILL—Miss R. R. Levy is reported ill at her home in the Acoma hotel. ## Column 4 # CHANGES MADE IN SCHOOL FACULTY ## Classes at Boys' Central Will Resume on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

Hunt of Seattle and Brother S. T. Connors of Halifax will come to the local school. Brother W. K. O'Connell of Seattle, former teacher of English and Latin at Boys' Central, and recently superior of O'Dea high school, has been transferred to Leo high school in Chicago, Brother MacMahon said. Registration at the local school will be held August 30, with classes to be resumed September 3. # CONGRESS BANS GOLD LITIGATION WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—(AP)—Congress voted away today the right of citizens to sue the government after next January 1 for damages—potentially aggregating $7,000,000,000—that might be charged to dollar devaluation and gold clause abrogation. A compromise bill withdrawing that privilege sped to the president's desk after the house accepted with little discussion and no record vote a conference report adjusting its major objections to senate amendments. The legislation in final shape provided specifically that no suits shall be permitted later than January 1 on: Securities containing gold payment clauses, coin, currency, or claims based on surrender of coin, currency or gold and silver to the government. The final language toned down the original house proposal—which republican critics contended would endanger government credit—to forbid suits on any type of government obligation. The house wanted to bar suits immediately on enactment of the bill; the senate suggested a six months' wait before imposing the ban. Their conference committee members deadlocked but finally received word that the president would not object to a short period of grace because he believed the price level would be sufficiently stable so no one could prove damages against the government. The supreme court set the "damages" criteria for collecting in such cases. With the deadline set at January 1 the issue is less likely to recur in the next session of congress, convening with the opening qf [sic] the new year. The potential damage of $7,000,000,000 arises from the fact that more than $10,000,000,000 in gold clause obligations are outstanding. It would require $1.69 in present-day dollars to represent the same gold content as the old dollar bill. The treasury has been retiring gold securities on a dollar-for-dollar face value basis. The legislation also authorizes holders of gold clause obligations to trade them dollar for dollar for currency up to July 1, 1936. The bill was requested by the administration after the supreme court failed to uphold abrogation of gold payment clauses in government obligations and left the way open for damage suits. # FIREMEN RETURN FROM CONFERENCE Maurice Mulcahy and J. La Forest, Butte firemen, returned yesterday from Helena, where they attended a meeting of representatives of state firemen's unions.

DILLON, Aug. 24.—(Special)—Billy Ritschel of Jackson won first place in the bronco busting contest which featured the opening day's events at the fourth annual Dillon rodeo this afternoon. The Jackson man made a great ride on Haywire. Chuck Arnold, riding Tombstone, won second, and Oral Zumwalt won third on The Ghost.

Riders were tossed high, wide and handsome by as wild a bunch of buckers as ever came out of the chutes at the local arena.

DILLON, Aug. 24.—(Special)—Struck by a horse as he ran across the track at the Dillon rodeo this afternoon, Walter Nettik, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Nettik of this city, sustained serious, perhaps fatal, injuries. At the Barret hospital, where he was rushed after the accident, an examination revealed that he may have suffered a fractured skull as well as chest injuries. The attending physician late this afternoon declared the boy's condition was critical. The lad had been a rider in a race just completed and was rushing across the track when a running horse, attempting to stop, struck the boy in the chest with his feet, throwing him to the ground. At first it was thought that his injuries were slight. The boy had not regained consciousness at last reports tonight. The accident was the only one which occurred at the rodeo this afternoon. # 'GIN' MARRIAGE SIGNERS EXCEED NUMBER NEEDED DILLON, Aug. 24.—(Special)—Beaverhead county has presented more than the necessary number of signatures to petitions asking for a repeal of the gin marriage law, it was announced today by Clerk and Recorder Albert S.

P.'S HEAR SOLON FISH (Continued From Page 1.) such as considered under a precinct-to-precinct drive in California. ### Resolution Tabled. In not taking cognizance of the bonus issue, the conference resolutions committee composed of directors of the states, tabled a resolution by Clarence Hillman, Rexburg, Idaho, which was seconded by J. A. Stewart of Blackfoot, Idaho. With the monetary resolution meeting the same fate, Hillman withdrew three other proposals for repeal of reciprocal tarrif [sic], opposition to regimentation of farmers under the AAA and suggestions for a republican plan to supplement the agricultural adjustment administration and opposition to purported unconstitutional methods of the national administration. ### Look Forward to '36. However, the committee, whose actions were accepted by the conference, adopted resolutions calling upon young republicans to redouble their efforts to organize and assume their proper place in party councils, to return to a representative form of government with both "the legislative and judicial branches free from executive interference," urging adoption of a party platform of specific construction and forward looking policies in 1936 and calling upon citizens of America to demand that any proposed changes in the constitution be made in only the prescribed manner, urging adherence to policies of Abraham Lincoln. For organization purposes the committee proposed segregation of the Intermountain-Pacific states in these groups: One—California, Washington, Oregon. Two—Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. ### Discuss AAA. After discussing in detail various issues of the forthcoming campaign, including one dealing at length with the AAA which he said the republican party could not abolish without offering some constructive substitute, Congressman Fish admonished the party members to abandon a defeatist movement he said was evidently national. "It was due to the depression, nothing else. The republican party isn't dead, however, it was the Jeffersonian democracy that was knifed in the back by the new dealers." Fish was applauded when he said, "what we need is inflation of common sense and confidence, not currency." The New Yorker charged that the new deal "experiments were cowed through a cowardly congress and that the administration had succeeded in "covering up figures on employment." There are today, he added, two million more unemployed, one million more than a year ago "despite the mountainous expenditures of the administration." ### Cautions Republicans. The eastern congressman, addressing an audience of several hundred, cautioned republicans of the West against "opposing all new deal policies" declaring he for one, favored an old age pension law and and [sic] that in 1927 he introduced one in the house. "For the first time in our lives, perhaps," he added, "we have a right to speak to Jeffersonian democrats whom it should be easy to convert, and my belief is that more democrats will switch to the republican party in 1936 than there were republicans who went the other way in 1932." Discussing centralization of federal power, Fish charged the administration with going far "beyond the conception of the republicans to establish a "regular bureaucracy and socialism," and held that regular democrats "have been deceived." In a retort to Postmaster General Farley's stand that critics of the new deal were all republicans, Fish said on the contrary the most pronounced critics were Governor Al Smith, Governor Ritchie, Governor Talmadge and John W. Davis. ### "Tammany Leader." Further discussing the cabinet officer whose speaking appearances this week were current with those of Fish in the West, the congressman said: "You don't hear Jim Farley trying to explain away the recent Rhode Island election." Again assailing Farley as the cabinet "Tammany leader," Fish said the republicans could "take sound planks of democratic expenditures, put them into ours and restore business and confidence." Replying to Senator Pope, Idaho, on his belief that the country might be drawn into possible European conflict Fish said there was no need for this nation to be drawn into war "if we just mind our own business." Coincident with the address of Congressman Fish near the close of the two-day confab, was talk of former Governor Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona. The far westerner, one-time chairman of the civil service commission, told young republicans "that no matter who the leader is in 1936, just so he stands for the fundamentals of Americanism, this man can win." He warned against espousal of so-called panaceas, and told republicans they could not hope to win over the radicals. "We must stand for definite things; no share the wealth, and none of the extravagance of proposals of Franklin D. Roosevelt. America, he said, "can never return to its normal status or standing with world powers by mixed theories of the current administration." ### BORAH LEADS. CANYON YELLOWSTONE, Aug. 24.—(AP)—That Sen. William Borah of Idaho was presidential timber stood well in the minds of young and old republicans of the Northwest, assembled here for a regional campaign pow wow, was indicated by an unofficial ballot vote taken on the floor of the conference today.

MILES CITY, Aug. 24.—(AP)—Constitution day, Sept. 17, with [sic] be of greater significance this year than ever before, Joseph D. Scanlan, Miles City publisher and state republican national committeeman, today advised all state committeemen and committeewomen. He attributed the increased importance of the day to "the determined efforts of brain trusters and new dealers to enact measures directly in conflict with our established form of government." "That the 'constitution' will be made a direct issue of the forthcoming campaign there is little doubt and it therefore behooves us to be on the alert," he said. ## Column 8 # FIRE QUELLED IN NINE MILE AREA ## Campfire Breaks Away, Threatens to Consume Timber Stands. A prospective forest fire was nipped in the bud yesterday noon when employes of the Deer Lodge national forest rushed from Butte to the Nine-Mile canyon, near Thompson park, to subdue a camp fire that had got out of control, Supervisor R. T. Ferguson announced. The alarm was received in Butte at 12:30 o'clock, and the blaze was extinguished after a fight of only a few minutes. Earlier last week another man-caused fire broke out further up the canyon, at the Kiwanis drinking fountain, but was put out before it spread to dangerous proportions. Forest officials coupled a fire warning with a plea to persons entering the national forests this weekend to use especial care, as the dry weather has caused a considerable fire hazard. All motorists must be equipped with an axe, shovel and water bucket, and there may be no smoking within forest boundaries except at the public camps or other points of habitation. # Butte Death Notices MURPHY—The funeral of Frank J.
