By the Associated Press LONDON, October 3. —Large crowds milled through Powning Street be- fore the prime minister's residence today as British warships patrolled 3,000 miles of the empire’s traditional sea lanes, on guard agamst an inter- ruption of empire communications through war in East Afrfca. The men in the street were heard to ask “what next? Is it war? Where | will it lead? Will England be drawn displayed “Aduwa Street bulletins were through London declaring: bombed—Italians advance.’ Authoritative sources said the gov- ernment felt the wnole ‘uture of the British Empire depended on its ability to defend its own interests in case of attack through the spread of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict or as the re- sult of League restraints. Eden Off for Geneva. Anthony Eden, minister for League | of Nations affairs, was started back for Geneva by way of Paris to con- vince the League of Nations and France that the British policy was clearly and firmly in support of the League covenant opposed to War. It was stated authoritatively that no official attention will be paid to yes- terday's speech of Premier Mussolini in Rome in which he said he did not believe true Britons would approve of sanctions against Italy. The British government was offi- cially informed from Geneva of Em- peror Haile Selassie’s declaration that Italian planes had bombed Aduwa with civilian casualties. Authoritatively, it was announced that today’s developments, if borne out in fact, constituted a violation of Article XV of the League Covenant under which nations must refrain from aggressive hostilities while the League is attempting to conciliate a dispute. Must Determine Resort to War. It was said that the League Council now must determine whether there has been an Italian resort to war while the Council was drawing up the requisite report. If the Council so decides, it was stated that this constitutes a violation of Article XIT of the Covenant, as a result of which Article XVI—the sanc- tions article—must be immediately operative against Italy. This, declared an authority, is the considered opinion of the British gov- ernment. The task of the League Council, in its meeting Saturday, wjll be to de- termine whether Italy has committed an act of war. | The British government was under- stood to feel that the situation and the facts probably will be clarified officially and completely by Saturday, allowing the Council to proceed on re- liable information. CONSERVATIVES ASK } BRITAIN RUSH ARMS Nation Has Demobilized to Point of Danger, Winston Churchill Tells Party. B the Associated Press. BOURNEMOUTH, England, Octo- ber 3.—Winston Churchill's assertion, *Britain has disarmed to the point of danger,” today stirred the Conserva- tive party to unanimous adoption of 2 resolution calling upon the govern- | ment to speed the expansion of its de- fense forces | Support of the government in its. defense of the League covenant also was unqualifiedly given in a unani- mous resolution. “Since this country,” the resolu- tion stated, “is no longer immune from sudden attack upon its great centers of population, its industries | and its food supplies, and moreover is pledged to play its part in a system ! of collective security by the treaty of Locarno and the covenant of the League of Nations, His Majesty’s gov- | ernment, first, must at all costs pro- vide that our naval and military and air services shall be adequate for the following two purposes: “One, to safeguard British terri- tory and its sea-borne trade against ! aggression by any single power. “Two, to carry out with loyalty and effect the British international obli- gations. | “Secondly. that His Majesty’s gov- | ernment * * * should concentrate on a fresh task of reducing by interna- | tional agreement the level at which ! national armaments are maintained.” PLEDGES TO KEEP U.

The commission, in executive ses- sion, approved four petitions for changes in zoning classifications, re- jected six others and deferred action on foyr .cases, including that involv- ing the Henderson property. Classification of the Henderson property to permit sale for apartment house development was urged by At- torneys George E. Edelin and Robert. O.

Each nation charged aggression by the other, and Ethiopia demanded that the League of Nations investigate. A conciliation commission held neither was to blame. . Italy charged Ethiopia should be removed from the League, that the Ethiopian government was unfit to rule its diversified peoples, that its wandering tribes constantly menaced Italian colonies, and that Italy must control and “civilize” the country in self-protection. The League found no solution ac- ceptable to both. —_— SPAIN SHIFTS AVIATION War Minister in Charge to In- crease Fighting Efficiency.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 3.-— Wall Street appeared to have absorbed the shock of the more critical turn taken by international affairs today and prices stiffened in the New York Stock Exchange after a further mod- erate recession in the initial dealings. Brokers said yesterday’s selling, which gave Wall Street securities prices the sharpest setback in more than a year, appeared to have taken the edge off the war scare. While heavy - foreign selling had been fesred, a number of houses with London and Paris connections said their buying from those centers about balanced the selling. Share prices opened unchanged to more than $1 lower today, but scat- tered buying soon began to appear and a number of issues advanced 25 cents to more than $1 above last night's final prices toward the end of the first half hour.

But Us not always so. Last year, after losing his seventh or eighth game by a one-run margin, Lon stormed into the Cubs’ club house. kicked over the stove, broke bats and tore all the hats and shirts that he could lay his hands on.

By the Associated Press | NAVIN FIELD, DETROIT, October 3. —While Kenesaw M. Landis, base ball's high commissioner, scanned cold, wet skies, a bare few hundred of the faithful dared pneumonia to- day to rslly around the big Detroit ball park for the second game of the world series between the Tigers and the Chicago Cubs. It rained most of the night and shortly after 9 am. & hailstorm and downpour of rain swept the city, drenching the small crowd that had gathered to see the Tigers, behind Tommy Bridges, curve-ball pitching, try to pull up on even terms with the cubs, now one game up after Lon Warneke's brilliant 3-to-0 shutout yesterday. Despite weather as cold as an Arctic nudist camp, the teams prepared to take the field. After the storm, which lasted about half an hour and blew | the canvas coverings on the diamond | into the lower stands of the park, the | skies cleared and the sun came out shortly before 11 a.m. " Crowd Expected to Be Small. Today's game seemed certain to draw one of the smallest crowds of the past two series here, possibly ruining the chances of a $1,000,000 gate so promising when the two league | champions played to slightly less than | 48,000 persons yesterday. Outside the ball park only a handful of the faithful gathered, braving the early showers, hiding in doorways out | of the cold, until the gates to the | big temporary bleacher section, built |out from left field, were opened at |9 am. Those who were determined |to get in and stay in, regardless of the weather, hustled through the turn- stiles the moment they had paid their $1.10 each. Even when the storm hit them, soon after they had gotten into the park, they did not flinch. Instead, they huddled in the seats while the hail- stones, big as marbles, bounced on their heads. The temperature, during the hail, dropped below 40 degrees. World series policy is to play the game if at all possible. ‘The high point of excitement came when the field workmen, deciding to take up the tarpaulins that covered the infield against the rain all night, were caught by the wind and hail. The huge canvas covering, large enough to smother the entire diamond, was caught in the wind, ripped from their grasps and sent billowing into the stands. Crash Kills C. C. C. Official.
