PRESIDENT WARNS AMERICANS TO SHUN BELLIGERENTS’ SHIPS Geneva Hails Roosevelt’s Policy. Selassie to Lead Army of 120,000 Against Invaders on Northern Front. GENEVA, October 7 ().—It was reported in League circles tonight that Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italian representative at the League of Nations, had rejected a plea by Premier Laval of France that Italy immediately cease hostilities against Ethiopia By the Assoclated Press. The Council of the League of Nations. through its committee of 13, declared today Mussolini was the aggressor against Ethiopia in violation of Italy's pledge under the League covenant. This action—taken as Emperor Haile Selassie massed thousands of tribal warriors in the north and south of Ethiopia for counter-attacks against Il Duce’s Roman legions—opened the way for the imposition of sanctions against the Italians. Cdvenants Held Disregarded. The committee of 13, which is the full Council with the exception of Ttaly, held Rome “resorted to war in disregard of its covenants under Article XII" of the covenant of the League. Earlier, a committee of six members of the Council reported similarly to the Council. With the discussion of sanctions the next step at Geneva, attention for the moment was centered on the declaration of the directors of the Suez Canal Co., meeting in Paris, that this “gateway to the Orient” must remain open to all countries. Only a blockade or an attack by other countries can prevent Italy from using the canal, the directors said. A convention of the powers in 1888 provides the canal must remain open to all nations, whether at war or in peace. This decision followed establishment by President Roosevelt of the precedent-shattering neutrality of the United States. In addition to the embargo on muni‘ions of war, the President warned Americans they traveled the ocean on Italian or Ethiopian ships at their own risk. Joy Greets Declarations. The presidential declarations—the first in which any official quarter directly stated a state of war exists between Italy and Ethiopia—were happily received by League of Nations protagonists in Geneva. They looked upon the American stand as a form of sanctions. Inasmuch as Ethiopia has no merchant marine, the effect of the Ameri- | can policy falls on Italian ships. In Ethiopia, the first major battle of the war—a war without the benefit of a declaration of war on either side—was in the making. Aduwa has fallen. The main Italian Army of 75.000 on the northern front occupied this northern metropolis yesterday. While consolidating their position about Aduwa—on the plateau along the rim of vast mountainous area—the Italians were prepared to meet the main column of Haile Selassie’s warriors. The Ethiopians were some 20 miles away. Makale, 60 miles to the south and east of Aduwa. Northern Army is Divided. The Italian Army ir the north was divided. The right column was intrenched about Aduwa. The left held Adigrat, to the east, which also fell to the Mussolini legions. As the armies passed through tribal towns, civilians with priests at their head carrying crosses greeted the troops and dipped the crosses to the ground as the sign of submission. From all indications. Mussolini’s plan is to join Eritrea with Italian Somaliland. Between the two, on the coast, are French and British Somaliland. To unite them, the Italians would have to take a strip of Ethiopia from the south to the north along the eastern border. The Italian column in the south (in.the desert Province of Ogaden) was approaching from Italian Somaliland today and was nearing Gerlogubi, about 50 miles from Walwal, scene of last Winter's border dispute which precipitated the current crisis. The Ethiopian warriors were also% massing in the desert province. in Addis Ababa as in accord with In the eastern area the Italians have Ethiopian strategy. 8 force near Mount Mussa Ali, just The departure of Haile Selassie to across the Eritrea border and UP the front, probably the northern front against the boundary of French gt the first, appeared imminent.

ADDIS ABABA, October 7.—Ethi- opian sources disclosed today that Emperor Haile Selassie plans to lead an army of 120,000 fighters into the field against Italy within two weeks. | This disclosure was made as ru- mors circulated in the capital that Italy has proposed peace terms to the Emperor. One of the imperial advisers called the rumors “almost” true, but declined further comment. (In Rome Italian officials said peace terms were farthest from their thoughts.) Luigi Vinci-Gigliucel, the Italian minister, said he was not informed of such a proposal. It was stated that the Emperor’s | personal army would have as its back- | bone 5,000 of his modernly equipped | imperial guards. | The Emperor was expected to take this force toward Dessie, which lies at a strategic middle distance in the | triangle formed by Addis Ababa, Aduwa and Mount Mussa Alie. | The road over which the Emperor | and his warriors will pass now is be- | ing repaired.

Meeting for the first time in a home of its own, the Supreme Court con- vened at noon today in the $10.000,000 Corinthian temple dedicated to the philosophy of ‘“equal justice under law.” The opening session was routine in nature and devoid of ceremony being devoted principally to the ad- mission of attorneys to practice before | the Nation's highest court and the consideration of preliminary motions. | Before the term is over, however, the court is expected to pass on the constitutionality of several New Deal measures vitally affecting the welfare of the country. Their de- cisions in these cases may have far- reaching political consequences, since many believe adverse rulings will result in an attempt to amend the Constitution. One Utility Suit Withdrawn. One of the New Deal cases brought to the Supreme Court for review was withdrawn today. It was filed by the Kansas Utilities Co. to challenge the validity of a section of the national industrial re- covery act under which P. W. A. was authorized to lend or donate funds to municipalities to erect electric light plants and distributing systems. When P. W. A. made a donation of $45,300 to Burlington, Kans.. the Kan- | sas Utilities Co., operating in approxi- mately 30 cities in Southeastern Kan- sas, challenged the constitutionality of the act but lost in the Kansas State courts. In withdrawing its suit today the Kansas Utilities Co. gave no explana- tion for its action. Four Tests Remain.
