Obsolete Weapons Pressed Into Service for Last Desperate Stand
ADDIS ABABA April 20—(EE>— The government rushed stores of gun cotton out along the road to Dessye today, planning to blow up bridges over cascades and to block mountain roads in the path of the Italian advance.
Convinced that arrival of the conquerors is imminent, the population, dazed and panic stricken, abandoned all the pursuits of ordinary life.
Motor trucks laden with military supplies roared through the streets.
Besiege Legation
Thousands of all nationalities be sieged the fortified British legation begging for protection.
Military lorries streamed into the capital from the northern front while the imperial highway from Dessye was black with fugitives.
Army commanders worked feverishly on belated, last-minute preparations to block the Italian advance if possible. Stores of gun cotton were rushed to the Dessye road after announcement of plans to blow up bridges and send rain-swollen torrents cascading across mountain paths and caravan trails.
Poor From Town
Peasants and slaves, carrying what goods they eould not load onto donkeys, camels, and mules, poured out of the town into the roads winding into the western mountains.
All able bodied men, including household servants, were rounded up and rushed into the mountain passes guarding the approaches to Addis Ababa.
Caches of obsolete rifles, once traded in for new ones, were handed out and distributed.
Cannon Prepared
Even brass cannons captured from the Italians in the famous Adowa battle of 1896 were pressed into service.
Addis Ababa remains the seat of government but there were indications that the capital would be moved into the mountain ramparts of the west.
The last remaining members of the Belgian mission which drilled the now decimated imperial bodyguard departed by train for the French port of Djibouti. The Ethiopians have been left to fight for their capital without foreign advice.
League Council Will Make Supreme Appeal To Italy, Citing Hitler War Danger
Copyright, 1936, by United Press.
GENEVA, April 20—(UP)—The League of Nations council tonight decided to address a supreme appeal to Italy to make peace with Ethiopia.
It hinted that Italy’s support of the league is necessary to Europe because of the danger that Germany may plunge
¥the continent Into war.
Earlier, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden had demanded maintenance of existing sanctions against Italy. He declared his gov emment’s readiness to enforce new economic and financial sanctions and hinted that if the League fails to curb Italy, Britain is ready tp take independent action.
Risee to Power
Eden took the strongest position of his spectacular career after Ethiopia’s delegate, Wolde Mariam, demanded enforcement of military sanctions against Italy, under article 16 of the League covenant.
After several sessions ,in public and private, the council tonight was in virtual agreement to adopt a resolution appealing to Italy to make peace like a good League member “in view of present circumstances which require the collaboration of all nations.”
Council members explained that the phrase constituted a hint that Italy’s help is required against Germany.
Italy Responsible
The resolution would make Italy responsible for the faUure of peace efforts. It would indicate that existing sanctions must remain effective, and it declares that the international anti-gas convention must be respected.
Eden’s declaration before the council that if the Italo-Ethiopian conflict destroys the League’s future utility each nation would have to reconsider its foreign policy was widely interpreted as a hint that Britain might leave the league.
In such event Britain, with other nations foUowing policies similar to hers, might feel obliged to intervene directly to settle the East African war.
Eden insisted that the Italo-Ethiopian war be made a test case to determine the League's future.
Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, who is said to have made the firmest stand of his career yesterday, in demanding Italy's cooperation for peace.

MOOSE RIVER. N.S.. April 20-(lT.E>—A heavy rain tonight threatened to drown two exhausted and starving men entombed for eight days in the depths of the old Moose River gold mine before rescuers could claw through to them.
The ram added to the hardships and difficulties of the rescuers, themselves risking their lives in the dangerous emergency shaft, but the danger to the men trapped below was far greater.
Hope for Rescue
Hope of rescuing the two men within two hours was expressed at 11:15 p.m. EST. by J. P. Messer-vey, provincial inspector of mines.
At that time it was believed about 10 feet of rock separated rescuers from the entombed men-
Robertson reported through the pipe line used for communication he had seen a flicker of light through a crevice in the rock.
The floor of the mine already is flooded, and additional seepage from above may raise the water level and engulf the almost helpless prisoners.
Magill Dies
Earlier today, Dr. D. E. Robertson, one of the trapped men. asked fearfully if it was raining outside. It was clear then.
The rain started falling hours after rescuers had confidently ex-, pected to reach the doctor and his remaining living companion, C. Alfred Scadding. The third member of their exploration* party. Herman B. Magill, died yesterday.
Robertson and Scadding were feeble from exposure and starvation. The doctor has a heavy cold and his companion's feet aye infected. Their death is only a matter of hours unless they are rescued promptly.
Tunnel May Collapte
At any moment, it was expected word would be flashed to the top of the shaft heroic miners are digging that the last bit of rock has been cleared away and the mer. were being brought to the surface There is constant danger of the sloping tunnel collapsing on the . rescue workers, and the rain intensified this threat.
For three hours, there had been no communication from the imprisoned men at 10 pjn. EST. A narrow iron pipe still extended from the surface to the crevice where they were crouched, but those outside refrained from taxing the unfortunate men's strength by conversation.
Mine Manager F. D. Henderson hoped rescuers would succeed “very shortly” but none knew for sure how much longer it might take. The diggers were working in a slop in 2 tunnel so dangerous that it was closed 25 years ago.

By United Press.
Thirteen children, ranging in age from 6 to 11 years, were under observation of the health department last night after being bitten by a mad Pekingese dog on grounds of a city grammar school.
