SELASSIE DENIES DEFEAT ANYWHERE Occupation of Aduwa and| Aksum Insignificant, Emperor Holds. (Cogyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) ADDIS ABABA, October 16.—Em- peror Haile Selassie proclaimed today that Ethiopia is undefeated on any front. Italian occupation of Aduwa and | Aksum, he declared, was without mili- | tary significance, the Ethiopians hav- ing withdrawn for special strategic | reasons. | The Emperor asserted the Fascists were permitted to enter these cities | on the northern front unopposed, that no decisive battle had yet been fought | and that none would be until the | Italians approached Ethiopia's real | defensive positions in the towering mountains of the interior. Offensive Against Plans. Government officials, denying re- ports published abroad that Ras Nesibu | was ordered to take the offensive on' the Southern Ogaden Desert front, asserted: “An offensive on any front is con- trary to all our carefully worked-out plans. We stand pat in defending our land. “If theme is any offensive the Ttalians must take the initiative. We'| cannot afford to waste ammunition in the desert or lowlands.” | ‘The government authorities rejoiced | in a belief that Italy’s northern army | was slowly but surely falling into a trap. Ethiopians said it would not be long | before Gen. Emilio de Bouo's Fascist forces, jubilant over the ‘“capture” of H ABABA ¢ 'E T HfI'O [SOUTHERN ITALIAN ARMY OCCUPYING GERLOGUBI- REPORTED PUSHING ON TOWARD HARAR A report today said the army in shown on map.

Forces Playing for Time. Capital advices, however. indicated that both the Italian and Ethicpian forces were playing for time, each wondering what the other’s next move would be. Considerable misgiving prevailed in Ethiopian circles here for the safety of Harar, “Garden of Ethiopia” and strategic city benind the southern lines, which it was feared would be the next target of Italian bombing planes. Concern «lso was felt for the ability of the Ethiopian forces on the south- ern Ogaden desert front to hold out against the strong drive to the north from Italian Somaliland by the Italian troops under Gen. Rudolfo Graziani. One Ethiopian commander in the south appealed to Herar and to Addis Ababa for help. Troops rushed to- ward the front to send support. MAJ. FISKE CHOSEN AS WAR OBSERVER Military Function Tentative As- signment—To Sail for Rome Today. By the Associated Press. Maj. Norman E. Fiske, now sta- tioned at Philadelphia, sails today for Rome with the possible objective of serving as United States military ob- server with the Italian Armies in Ethiopia. The War Department announced Fiske, now on duty with the Organ- ized Reserves in Philadelphia, has been assigned as assistant military attache at Rome. It is understood Maj. Fiske will go to Ethiopia with the Italian Armies as an observer if the Italian government permits foreign military | observers to accompany their expedi- | tionary forces. Maj.

He was not able to resist those chests with brand-new gold pieces and silver thalers which had been minted in Vienna a few months | | ago especially for such a purpose. In- | siders say that the gold and silver | in those pieces is not up to the usual | standard and that there is more alloy | than yellow metal. But this is of no’ consequence as long as the coins are | shiny and do not break when they are submitted to the “biting test.” Since there is no such thing as a bureau of standards in the semi- civilized Eastern countries, gold and silver coins are judged good when the teeth of the official tester leave no imprints in the coin. And that is a matter which civilized nations can arrange easily. * x ¥ X That Ras Gugsa's example may be | followed by other chieftains is a pos- | sibility. While Mussolini was dispatch- | ing hundreds of thousands of men to Africa with all the modern war para- phernalia, he did not neglect to send agents of all nationalities into Se- lassie's empire to offer gold, silver, | honors, and a high time in Rome to | those chiefs who considered Selassie | as an upstart. These offers were at first turned down with indignation. But as the re- sistance of Selassie’s warriors col- lapsed at the first encounters With 11 Duce’s troops, these local potentates | decided that it would be preferable to accept the advantages the Italians offered instead of being defeated. * ok K X Of course it must be borne in mind that so far the Italians have not faced the real difficulties of their struggle for the conquest of Ethiopia. The towns they have captured are at the foot of the mountains and offer a fair terrain for the use of artillery and tanks. There will be a differ- ent story when they begin to fight in the mountains. They may not be defeated but their progress will be considerably slowed down and time plays in the hands of the Ethiopians. The rainy season begins next March and if by that time the Italians have not brought the conflict to an end, the Fascist troops will be faced with endless hardships; few white troops can resist the climateric conditions in Ethiopia during the six months of torrential rains. Bk Tk At the entrance of the Suez Canal there is a huge statue of Ferndinand de Lesseps, the builder of the canal. He is represented in a frock coat, and, with an extended hand toward the Medi- terranean, he invites all ships to pass through the canal. Since September two British warships have been stationed close to that statue. They represent Britain’s naval power which says to the world in general and to Italy in particular: “Yes, you may go through the canal, with Britain’s permission.” * k Kk % That tuneful “Flirtation Waltz” is cars, takers and assistants. 1400 Chapin ‘nxt‘?d::.."énlumbis 0432, 517 11th st. #e.

Wirephoto. the popular melody most statesmen | are whistling today. | Secretary Cordell Hull and the Brit- | ish foreign secretary, Sir Samuel | Hoare; Benito Mussolini, and Premier Pierre Laval are all preparing to dance to that tune. Seldom in the history of the two English-speaking countries have rela- tions between the State Department and the foreign office been more cor- | dial. Ambassador Bingham is stepping into Ambassador Page's shoes as far as his relations with British high of-| ficials are concerned. The British ad- mirals don’t grumble any longer, like in 1927 and in 1930, at the size of the United States Navy; quite the con- trary—they wish the American fleet were a little larger. The American and the British foreign offices have no longer any secrets for each other— at least not many. In this “Flirtation ‘Waltz” bystanders are wondering who will squeeze harder, Hull or Hoare. | * ok X ok Italy'’s dictator has not lost hope of having La Belle France his dancing partner. He has shut his eyes at Marianne's temporary faithlessness when at Geneva she left him alone and | decided to “sit out” with that great| charmer Capt. Anthony Eden. Mus- | solint has taken this philosophical- | 1y —pretty women are frequently | fickle. But he knows that sooner or later she will come back into his| strong arms. His argument to the French Am- bassador in Rome has hit the bull’s eye: “Certainly,” said Il Duce, “go ahead and play with the British at Geneva if you feel like it, but re- member that your one and ‘only enemy on the continent is Ger= many. As long as we are separated, Hitler, who watches us with cat- like eagerness, will endeavor to eat us up separately and he will be- gin with you. My turn will come later—provided I don’t make some special arrangements with him. But if we Stand by each other the Teutons will never be able to de- stroy the two Latin sisters. Dance with me and you won’t be sorry.” The argument has had its effect in Paris. * % ¥ % An entirely different dance is being prepared in the Far East between | Russia and Japan. The Japanese, who have never missed a chance to put| through their expansionist plans when Europe is in trouble, are now preparing to march into Siberia. They are not scared of the Soviet's bear- hug. The Japanese military have never made a secret of the fact that the| Maritime Provinces up to Lake Baikal must become an integral part of | Manchukua—that is to say, of Japan. They missed their chances several | times and have given Moscow a | chance to prepare a powerful ' defense | on the Manchukuo-Siberian border. X%k % But that does not worry the Jap- anese general staff. The Tokio gen- erals are confident that the Northern colossus has clay feet and will collapse at, the first impact of the Japanese armies. When this other war will start is uncertain; maybe in three | weeks, maybe in three months. It is doubtful that the Japanese will wait more than that. The naval and mili- tary expenditure of the Japanese gov- ernment is weighing heavily on the shoulders of the taxpayers and the Japanese army has not been able to offer any new victories to the people for quite a while. The portion of Siberia which is coveted by the Japanese is richer in metals and oil than Manchukuo and the taxpayer will bear the cross with greater ease it the Maritime Provinces are pre- sented to him on a silver platter. —_— SANCTIONS ADOPTED CANBERRA, Australia, October 16 (P).—Prime Minister J.

S., Hits View Neutrality Supports League. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, October 16.—Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, home from a vacation in Europe, suggested today that the United States’ neutrality policy be made “more emphatic.” But the Michigan Republican warned against considering the Na- ticn's new, mandatory formula with its arms export ban as a buttress to League of Nations sanctions. Expressing “complete agreement” with the policy as proclaimed by the President, he said in a statement: “If anything, I would make it more emphatic. “It may deny us an expression of our natural sympathies in a given dispute, but it substantially insulates us against dreadful consequences which otherwise could embroil us again in alien wars. “The loss of incidental commerce is infinitely less important than the maiatenance of American peace.” Vandenberg, who has been men- tioned in discussions of Republican presidential timber, said in a ship- board interview: “I am not a candidate for anything on earth.” In his statement, he cited an “un- fortunate disposition in some quarters” to link the American neutrality plan with League sanctions and denied that this was the intention of Congress, “There is an element of nobility i the League’s present loyalty to ordered peace,” he said, “but there are also notorious elements of economic and political self-interest in which we have no legitimate concern.” ‘The Senator praised Great Britain for “attempting none of our magic in hunting short cuts to a pretense of recovery.” “She maintains certain funda- mentals which we often too con- veniently ignore and which we may study to our advantage” he said. income.

WITH THE ITALIAN NORTHERN | ARMY, October 16 (Exchange Tele- graph).—Reconnaissance flights dis- closed today that the army of Ras Seyoum, Ethiopian commander in the north, apparently planned to make a stand along a line running from Alaji to Sakota, more than 100 miles south of Aduwa. Italian fiyers reported seeing deep trenches being dug, outposts being re- inforced with concrete and machine guns erected. Fifteen hundred Ethiopian warriors who came over to the Italian side with Degiac Haile Selassie Gugsa Were armed for service against their coun- trymen. Organized into three battalions, they were expected to leave for the front today under Italian officers. ITALIANS PUSH ROADS. to Aduwa. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) | ADUWA, Ethiopia, October 14 (De- | layed).—The high pressure of road | construction to the present front lines } permitted the Italian northern armies | today to push their advance toward the more important objective of Ma- kale. Gen. Emilio de Bono, commander | in chief of the Fascist forces in East | Africa, left for field headquarters after | receiving complete submission of the | civil and religious authorities of Ak- sum, ancient capital and sacred city of Ethiopia. Officers expected Marshal Pietro Badoglio, chief of the general staff, to | come here shortly for a week, with the field headquarters to be moved closer to the front lines.

The fact that the Coptic Christian clergy of Aksum and the head mili- tary chieftains of the holy city sub- mitted peacefully led officials at field headquarters to believe that a thor- oughly peaceful occupation of the en- tire northwestern territory would be but a matter of a few days. At the headquarters near Aduwa, advances also were reported from the southern front, out of Italian Somali- land into Ethiopia. These reports to Gen. de Bono said the troops which occupied Gerlogubi several days ago moved on to Gorahei in an advance along the line to Harar, capital of the southern province of the same name, The general staff here hoped to squeeze the Ethiopians between Hara and Makale.

J., on a Federal warrant issued at the |request of the Congressional Com- mittee on Patents, David G. Berger, counsel to the committee, announced. Fox will appear before the committee here later today. According to Berger, Fox ignored a subpoena requesting his appearance, causing the issuance of the warrant. The committee is holding hearings on proposed changes in patent laws and expects to look particularly into patent poolings and cross licensing in movie, telephone, electrical and radio, Berger said. The hearings are expected to last two weeks. Edgar S.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘The State Department has not been | approached yet either by the British or the French governments with a | request to join the League of Na- tions in its coercive measures against | Italy by prohibiting the entry of Ital- | ian goods into the United States. In official quarters it is doubted that such a request would be forth- coming. It is pointed out that the | policy of this country, as far as meas- | ures against warring nations is con- | | cerned, is defnitely guided by the | neutrality act which has been put | | proclamation, from the moment a state of war existed between Italy and | Ethiopia. The President went as far as he could to harmonize America’s neu- | trality policy with the policies of the League when he advised American citizens that henceforth they must trade on their own risk with the bel- | ligerent nations. This declaration was re-inforced by repeated state- | ments of Secretary Hull, who pleaded | | with American businessmen not to trade with warring nations because the small profits they may make out of | the existing situation are overshadow- | d by the great harm caused to inter- | national trade if war is prolonged. Outside these warnings and plead- | ings, there is nothing the administra- | tion can do to prevent trade relations | between Italy and the United States. | Ethiopia is hardly taken into consid- eration because of the negligible amount of grade with it.
