The nation celebrated its own armistice Nov. 4, anniversary of the peace with Austria. The Italian consul at Alexandria took part with representatives of other foreign powers in a celebration to Egyptian war dead at the British memorial cemetery.

SOUTHERN ITALIAN ARMIES MENACING ETHIOPIA LIPE LINE Roman Legions Within 150 Miles of Addis Ababa- Djibouti Railway NORTHERN FORCES RESTING Selassie Concentrating 200,000 Warriors in Hills South of Makale (By the Associated Press) Italy’s southern army, under the command of General Rudolfo Gra- ziani, pushed menacingly Monday ‘to- ward Ethiopia’s “life-line’—the rail- toad from Addis Ababa to Djibouti, French Somaliland seaport. Dis- patches to Rome said Graziani's forces occupied Sas Baneh in a week-end drive and held Daggah Bur with ad- vance patrols, In occupying Sas Baheh, the Ita- lians have crossed more than half the desert region lying between Ita- lian Somaliland and the provincial capital of Harar. Sas Baneh is 100 miles from Jijiga and less than: 150 miles from the rail- road. Defending the railroad and Harar is a vast concentration of Haile Selassie’s warriors about Jijiga. Day advafice patrols, is 30 miles on toward Jijiga. Chief Reported Killed An unconfirmed Italian press dis- patch from Djibouti said Ras Nassibu, one of Emperor Selassie’s chief: aides in the southern-southeastern sector, was killed when his troops revolted in the engagement at Sas Baneh. The last report of Nassibu’s where- abouts available in Addis Ababa said Bur, reported held by the, the departing cotingent Nov. 13, was buried with full naval honors after Japanese Gen, T.

Refugees were stricken by fear of Japanese military action. Scores Attend Funeral Japanese admirals, a major general, the Japanese consul general and many other gold-braided officers par- ticipated in the services for Naka- yama, at which 1,000 blue-jackets and ‘® large sector of the Japanese civilian population also paid him tribute. The Japanese naval attache’s office said there was no basis for widespread reports that the slayer was @ Japa- nese or a Korean, insisting the assail- ant was a Chinese. At Nanking, officials said the case was handled by Shanghai authorities as @ local issue and they hoped it would remain 50. Japan Consul Speaks Japan's consular spokesman assert- ed investigations indicated strongly that Nakayama was slain in the de- militarized native quarter Saturday as @ Chinese demonstration against the presence of Japanese bluejackets. Chinese officials insisted, however, the assailant had not been proved to be Chinese, and asserted evidence in- dicated the slayer was garbed sim- larly to the slain marine, who was not in uniform and wore foreign clothes. Japanese and Chinese sources alike denied reports that a formal Japanese ultimatum would arise from the in- cident.

Ellis Heroes Roosevelt Reveals Agreement Has Been Reached With Canada’s Premier Washington, Nov. 11.—(?)—A lone unnamed soldier lying in his stony crypt on a peaceful autumn-brighten- ed Virginia hillside received Monday the honor and homage paid to those who died in the nation’s fiercest for- eign war.

Ordinarily, he starts his speech- es by saying: “My Friends.” Mon- day, however, the advance text on his address had no salutation. But hhe began by saying: “My Fellow Americans.” {soldier and his comrades had not fought in vain for the prolonged peace the nation coveted. Mr. Roosevelt disclosed that he and Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King of Canada “have reached a definite agreement which will eliminate dis- agreements and unreasonable (trade) restrictions, and thus work to the ad- vantage” of both countries. He pledged that America “will ever seek the ways of peace” but “must and will protect herself.” Cites Friction Causes He cited trade barriers as causes of international friction, and cited discussions with the Canadian prime minister as an example of neighbor- liness. Details of thelr agreement were not given. “Under no circumstances,” the pres- ident said of American policy, “will this policy of self-protection go to lengths beyond self-protection. “Aggression on the part of the United States is an impossibility in- sofar as the present administration of your government is concerned.

D., Nov. 11.—(#)—Three |’ The Ethiopian government official- ly denied Graziani’s troops had oc- cupied Sas Baneh.. As evidence of the scarcity of communications from the front in Addis Ababa, the govern- ment made no further comment, ex- cept to deny the town had been taken. Face Rough Country From Sas Baneh on to Harar and Jijiga, Graziani’s forces were faced with a more difficult terrain; the desert’s end brings a succession of steep cliffs, high plateaus and moun-* tains. Graziani's campaign, carried on without the fanfare of the Italian drive in the north, has been much more successful. In the north, a much ‘larger army has pushed only about 75 or 80 miles into the interior, and without any resistance from the Ethiopians. However, a determined stand against the northern army appeared in the making. Concentrating Armies Addis Ababa reports said Ras Kas was joining Ras Seyoum, governor of Tigre province, with 100,000 warrfors. Seyoum, at last report, had more than 100,000 warriors of his own. The +| troops were -concentrated behind the Kindonemiret range of mountains. south of Makale, In the mountain fastnesses, which the Italians have to penetrate in their southward drive, cilffs rise ‘precipitously as high as 11,000 feet. Italian scouts confirmed the re- ports from Addis Ababa. Land and airplane scouts reported the. concen- tration under Seyoum was near Amba Alaji, some 30 miles south of Makale, the caravan center of northern Ethio- pia, now held by the Fascist invaders. In this defense force aré 7,000 of the emperor's imperial guard, sent from Addis Ababa.

Two Requests by Defense for Eradication of Certain Evidence Denied With two motions for exclusion of certain evidence denied, the defense in the conspiracy trial of former Gov. William Langer and three associates Monday moved for a directed verdict of acquittal, shortly after the govern- ment had rested its case. Chief Defense Counsel Francis Murphy concluded his arguments in support of the directed verdict before court recessed at noon. U. 8. District Attorney P. W. Lanier prepared to give his arguments against the motion of Murphy at the opening of the afternoon session of court. Comes Unexpectedly The government's announcement of completion of its main case came un- tedly. Called to the witness stand at the opening of court was Sherrard Ewing, regional supervisor of relief in 1933, now of Bronxville, N. Y. He answered only one question ask- ed by Lanier, relative to a confer- ence with Langer. Murphy declined to cross-examine. “The government rests,” Lanier an- nounced in a low tone, as Ewing stepped from the witness stand. McDonald Not Called The government rested without call- ing one of Langer’s former associates to the stand, Harold McDonald, who is awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to gress in connection with solicitation of funds from employees receiving fed- eral monies. Langer and the other defendants are being tried on similar charges. They are R. A. Kinzer, former secretary of the state relief committee; Frank R. Vogel, former commissioner of high- ways, and Oscar E, Erickson, Repub- lican state central committee chair- man.and editor of the Leader, politi- cal: weekly created under the Langer administration. Oscar Chaput, who with McDonald was connected in the drive for funds to establish the Leader, also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentence. He was the principal witness for the gov- ernment in the present trial.
