A large majority of the American citizens, living in TItaly, however, are believed to be of Italian birth or extraction. They are mostly na- turalized citizens ‘of the United | States who because of adverse bus- iness and employment conditions here have been returning to the “old country” in large numbers since 1929. In 1929, American citizens residing in Italy numbered 10,000. A large percentage were Italians, who had made fortunes, big and little, in the United States during the “golden twenties” and had returned to live in comparative opulence. on dollars which then were. potent ‘purchasers of a high standard of living in most | European countries. France’s Visitors Depart France was the leading European haven for American expatriots in pre-depression days, with cosmopol- itan Paris, the French gold coast, romantic Normandy and Brittany boasting large colonies. Americans living in France in 1929 numbered 25,800.° While some of them returned to .the states in the early years of the depression following the loss of income provid- ing investments, the American pop- ulation in France had decreased only 2,00 in 1932. Then devaluation of the dollar re- sulting in an unfavorable exchange and the belated arrival of the de-| pression in (Prance caused a big exodus and by 9134 United States, citizens living there numbered only 12,700. Continuance of unfavorable economic conditions and increased French strictures on foreign busi- uess and employment brought a further decline in the American population’ this year. British Colony Changes Little The size of the American colony in Great Britain has.changed very lLittle in the last six years. Ameri- cans living there in 1929 numbered 11,700 a3 compared with 10250 this year. Return home of Britishers who had become United States citi- zens probably was a factor in keep- ing the American population figure at that level.

BROWN BEAR Wayne Phillips, 17, Badly Mauled by Huge Brownie on Chichagot Island ‘Wayne Phillips, 17-year-old son of Lyle Phillips of Sitka, was bad- ly mauled by a huge brown bear at Slocum Arm on Chichagof Is- land three weeks ago. Young Phil- lips who has almost entirely re- tovered from his injuries, is now going back" for the bear’s hide. Phillips arrived in Juneau yes- terday with his parents—Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Phillips—on his father's gas boat, Sitka. His father has been called for Grand Juty ser- vice, but as soon as that duty -has been discharged the pair expect to return to Slocum Arm on a bear hunt. Young Phillips, Art Hoefer, Wal- ter Stark and the lad's father, Lyle Phillips, went to Slocum Arm on board the Sitka three weeks ago— at the opening of the deer hunting season—to hunt deer. Wayne Phil- lips and Art Hoefer were hunting on one side of a mountain, about a half hour's walk from the beach, and Lyle Phillips and Walter Stark were hunting on the other side when the encounter with the bear took place. Bear Charges Young Phillips .and Hoefer were about 100 feet apart at a small knoll covered with jackpine and blueberry bushes. Phillips had re- mained stationary, waiting for deer | to appreach, and had just started to advance into the underbrush ETHIOPIAN CITY RECAPTURED BY DARK WARRIORS Army of 52,000 Over- | whelm Italians and Oc- | cupy Town After Battle® |LEAGUE RECOMMENDS | EMBARGO ON ITALY \Ethiopia May Be Allowed to Receive Arms and War Implements BULLETIN — GENEVA, Oct. 11. — The League's Sanction Committee has voted an arms cmbargo against Italy and Great Britain indicated it will lift the Ethiopia embargo im- mediately the League acts. - Huge stores of war materials have been lying for some time at Djibouti. * France is also expected to raisc the embargo on Ethiopia as soon as the League takes formal action against Italy. GENEVA, Oct. 11—With Ttaly | apparently intent on holding what she already won in the Ethiopiin campaign, and while the League |of Nations is deciding how to try to stop the war, unconfirmed re- | ports were heard of sensational de- | velopments in the fighting zone. | Reports were circulated in Addis Ababa that Aduwa had been re- captured by 52,000 Ethiopians, while a London dispatch sald that the Italan garrison at Aduwa, number- ing 2500, had beerni massacred by the Ethiopians. Other sources reported Aduwa rebuff today when Albania an- nounced that she could not join a concerted act to penalize Italy.
