Even if the seed does ap- pear to be practically free of scab the seed should be treated. one method is to make a solution of 1 pint of formalin and 30 gallons of water and soak the uncuv tubers for two hours, then turn them out to dry before cutting.

Another treatment is to dissolve biimate in 2 gallons at hot water and after In interval of ten to twelve hours dilute with 1! gallons of water. Immense the whole potatoes in this solution for iii. hours. ‘time spread

LONDON, May 4—'I‘he British government acted to aid the be- leaguered United states Legation in Addis Ababa today and to speed the fugitive Emperor Hallo Selas- sie to a haven in Palestine.

A plea for help from the British

Legation a few miles away by Cor- nelius Van Engert, United States minister-resident in Ethiopia. WM transmitted halfway around the world. It went to Washington and then to London. The government here uked its minister, Sir Sidney Barton. to do all he could to meet the request for a few Sikh soldiers and a mach- inc gun to enable the Americans to hold out against bandit attack- era.

Emperor I-Iaile Selassle—now an emperor in name ouly—-and his family and official party steamed from Djibouti, French Somaliland, toward Haifa, Palestine. aboard the British cruiser Enterprise en route to Jerusalem.

His Own Wish

. It was Haile Selassie‘s own wish to go to Palatine.

Foreign Secretary Eden. an- nouncing to the House of Commons the government's action to meet the Nexus‘ desire, said: “The Em- peror naturally will be expected, while in Palestine, not to partici- pate in any way in the furtherance of hnsiilitics."

The Foreign Secretary said he had no more information when asked “whetlic: the Ernperor has abdicated or not and who now rep- resents the Ethiopian government and country."

Prime Minister Baldwin and Eden. meeting a. deputation from the League of Nations’ union. em- phasized that Great Britain will have to take siock of the League's position in the light “of the ap- parent fsilure of collective action in this dispute."

Ordered Evacuated

WASHINGTON, May 4—.Secret-

ary of State Hull tonight wirelessed the United States minister in Ad- dis Ababa to evacuate all the oc- cupants of the American Legaticn because of the inability of the Brit- ish Legation there to furnish troops for its defense. This was announced at nine p.m.. A.S.T., by the State Department after receiving hiformation from the British Foreign Office that its minister in the Ethiopian capital was unable to spare it detachment of his legaticn's guard to assist in the defence of the United States Legatlon.

Such help earlier had been re- quested by the American Minister, Cornelius Van I-I. Engert.

The British Foreign Office of- fered to instruct its minister at Addis Ababa to send a. convoy to evacuate the occupants of the Am- erican Legation.

“In view of yesterday’: attack on the Turkish Legation as well as to- day's attacks against the French, Belgian and American legations, and owing to the fact that the American Iegation is not prepared for adequate defence." the depart- ment announcement said, "the British offer has been accepted and the American minister has been urged to take advantage of the op- porttnilty afforded to evacuate the occupants of the American Lac- gation.

The formal announcement was the first information here that at- tacks by native rioters in the Ethi- opian capital had been made dur- ing the day on the Fcrnch and Belgian diplomatic missions its irril as on the United States Legation.

Attach Repuised

WASHINGTON, May 4—A little band of men and ole woman to- .night held grimly f‘,‘l within the limited States icgation in Addis l_Ababa, after repelling one attack

by Ethiopian marauders and re- maining “confident we can at least hold out until tomorrow." Cornelius Van l-I. Engert, the American minister to the Ethiop- ian capital. reported to the state department at 11 p. m. Addis Ababa time i5 D. m. AST) that his staff could hold their own during the night as conditions were “slightly improved." A call for aid from the Indian Sikhs guarding the British iegation, four miles away from the Amen. CHI °°mP°lllld. was relayed I dis- tance more than half way around the world. At ll:ngert's last. report the aid had not yet arrived. Time and again. in terse meg. flees sent to the state department, the United states minister praised th bravery of the handful of men and women with him.

Two native servants lay sci-ioug. ly wounded within the iegatiain. Both were struck down by direct rifle file into the compound. In-

Ambassador to London, the state department was informed the Brit- ish government had not received any confirmation that its wireless message to Addis Ababa. asking aid had reached there. v

At 11 p. m., Etihopian time. ED- gert himself said ‘liritish legation unable to get in touch .with us."

lilngert took this roundabout means of communicating with the British minister. Sir Sidney 33,-. ton. because his own messengers could not get to the British com- pound through thc riot torn streets.

All telephone service had been out for three days and foot messen- gers have been the only means of outside communication.

In the legatlon with Minister Engcrt were his wife. his staff of two vice-consuls. the four United States navy wireies onei-ato\s who provide the only direct communi- cation wiih the United States, two American civilians and a. few white and native empl\yees.

seek Dead and Wounded

PARIS. May 4—(A. P.\—Armed truck; from the French and Brit- ish lcgations in riot-torn Addis Abnba. went out on thestreets to- night in search of dead and wound- ed, the French minister advised his government by wireless.

The minister. Paul Bodard. also reported an Italian airplane fell in Addis Ababa but gave no details.

Earlier. the minister said Ethio- pian soldiers on guard duty at the French legaticm mutinled and at- tacked the building. Later mes- sages from him disclosed that trucks had been sent out from the legatlon, so it was believed here the threat had been withstood.

Bodard said there are 2.030 for- eign refugees in the French lega- iion. A British armed truck re- turned to the legation with the bodies of two women and a wound- ed English missionary.

The government, Mr. Howe said. was entering into i\'J agreement with the railways,companles for the employment of 10,000 men from the relief camps. 5.000 on each rail- way. The $3,100,000 was to pro- vide for their wages at standard rates. The railways were expected to spend an equal amount of sup- plies and supervision.

“We are putting these means feet on the ladder of employment. We are placing them in the same po-

sitlon as other men," said Mr. Howe. The relief camps had to be

closed up as they were a menace to peace and order and the men complained they had no opportun- ity to get regular employment or provide a future for themselves. he said. The railways had accepted the proposition at some inconvenience to themselves and the arrange it could in no sense he described as a subsidy.

The House also approved a vole of $1,000,000 to provide additional sums for grade crossing removal on railway lines.

Provision was also made to the extent of 31.109300 for loans to the railway companies to enable them to carry on maintenance of way work other than that contempaited under the relief camp workers scheme. This is following a system inaugurated several years ago of helping the railways to provide em- ployment.
