CHESTCONFED “TO0.C AGENDES Unable to Accept Gifts for Distrihution for Nearby Relief. Contributions designated for rellef and welfare agencies outside of the District of Columbia cannot be ac- cepted by the Community Chest, it was announced last night by Herbert L. Willett, jr., director of the Chest. Regulations under which the Chest operates prohibit it from handling funds for outside agencies or individ- uals, Willett explained in response to many questions as to whether gifts for needs in nearby Virginia and Maryland could be received. Co-operative Drive Studied. “During the past few months,” Wil- lett stated, “the Community Chest and representatives of Arlington, Fair- fax, Montgomery, and Prince Georges Counties, and of the city of Alexan= dria, have been in consultation re- garding the possibility of a co-opera- tive campaign for the Community Chest and the private welfare agencies of the metropolitan Washington area. “These welfare agencies in the counties and communities of Greater Washington which are not in the District of Columbia and are not members of the Community Chest de=- serve and should have the generous support of all citizens living in such communities, and it is recognized that it would be a convenience to such contributors to give both to the Washington Chest and to their com- munity agencies in a single contri- bution. “Because of limited time it was not feasible to attempt a combined cam- paign plan for the present year, al- though the Chest and the private agencies in the adjacent counties are 1n full sympathy with each other. Urged to Give to Both. *“Government and business employes who live in Greater Washington are, therefore, urged to contribute both to the Washington Chest and to the communities from which they daily go to work, such gifts of course be- ing optional with the giver. “All will be asked to give to the social and welfare work represented by the Chest agencies, because every one who spends his working hours in the Dis- trict is a beneficiary of the advan- tages accruing to the city due to such agencies. Few would find it pleasant to work in Washington if the present recipients of Chest funds had to make personal appeals for what is now pro- vided for by the one annual cam- Ppaign.” War (Continued From First Page.) points of the Ethiopian interior, but they are smaller in numbers and are faced with the worst desert conditions. Harar Link for Colonies. If, and when, the Italians gain Harar and the intervening territory is occupied and developed—as the Italian engineers have done from Adu- wa to Makale—Il Duce’s armies will have gained the eastern strip of Haile Selassie’s empire and will have linked the provinces of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. At the rate the Italians have progressed so far, this would take months. The offensive, undoubtedly, was de- layed because of peace talks in Eu- rope; but the peace talks have brought only a deadlock and have threatened to continue deadlocked until after the British parliamentary elections, No- vember 14, Seeks to Better Relations. To avoid straining the relations be- tween Italy and England any further, the government has ordered the Fas- cist-controlled press to end its anti- British propaganda. It has ordered students and others to halt the anti- British demonstrations. While they have not let up their fight of economic reprisals against sanctionist nations, the Fascisti said they did not want such campaigns to become anti-British or anti-French or anti-any other sanctionist power. Despite the silence in diplomatic circles, well-informed Italian circles said progress was being made toward a definite Anglo-Italian understand- ing. AMBA ALAJI FIGHT SEEN. Fascists Expect Resistance South of Makale. ROME, November 9 (#).—As the| northern Italian Army in Ethiopia consolidated its position at Makale, military experts here predicted tonight the Fascist troops might meet their first serious resistance at Amba Alaji, 40 miles south of Makale. If the area south of Makale to Amba Alaji is gained, Italy would then control the whole of Tigre Prov- ince, as well as a section of Dana- kilia, on-the east—altogether approx- imately 18,000 square miles. Premier Mussolini’s warriors also have moved well into Southern Ethio- pia, with the seizure of the important town of Gorrahei, junction of caravan trails in Ogaden Province. An official statement here reported the capture of an Ethiopian unit after & clash between Aksum, Ethiopia's already conquered Holy City, and the Takkaze River, which runs to the south and west of Aksum. £ uthorities placed the Italian losses in the second major advance in the north—which ended in the taking of Makale—at 36 dead and 81 wounded. Italy plans to proclaim annexation of the new territory, informed circles said, just as it did after the invasion had carried to Aduwa in the first great drive. KING APPROVES SANCTION. New British Orders in Council Ex+ pected to Be Issued. LONDON, November 9 (#).—Impo- sition of sanctions against Italy was formally approved today by King George. As the King, at a meeting of the privy council, gave his approval, it ~.s stated in British quarters that new orders in council probably will be forthco..ing because of modifications recently agreed to at Geneva. It was stated the new orders would exempt from the boycott goods pur- - THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, NOVEMBER 10, 1935—PART ONE.

Europe, which until a year ago found use only for un- pleasant adjectives when America was mentioned, discovered since the troubles in the Mediterranean began that it loves America dearly. * X X X Premier Baldwin has nothing but loving words for the United States; he has repeatedly stated that the world cannot get along without this country. Geneva Nobody there shrugs his shoulders any more, like in the past, saying, “Oh, those windbags, the Americans.” Some of our debtors even toy with the idea of refewing the token payments, in order to obliterate the effects of the Johnson act. * %k x The reason for this new and un- expected love is that the world situ- ation is getting more dangerous every day. It is possible, even probable, that the tension between Italy and Great Britain will be eased in the course of this month—after the British elections, provided Musso- lini does mot step on the British toes again. But mew war clouds are gathering with disquieting rapidity. Baron von Ribbentrop, Hitler's Norman Davis, has just announced his visit to Paris. And this is worry- ing the French. * x * x ‘The Germans no longer call on the former Allies, hat in hand. Quite the contrary, they are assuming now a dictatorial attitude because they know they hold the king of trumps in the diplomatic game which is being played today in Europe—the ace being admittedly in President Roosevelt's sleeve. * ok k% Ribbentrop, who until Hitler came to power, was a champagne salesman, continues to sell Germany's demands with the same high pressure methods he used to sell vintage champagne. He sold the idea of a strong Ger- man navy to the British admiralty with an ease which surprised even der Feuhrer.

He gave him 48 hours to say yes or no, leaving the question of details as to type and size of ships to erperts. He wanted the " principle clinched and got it.

It covets none of its terri- tories obtained after the war, that is to say, Alsace and Lorraine, but wants a free hand in Central and Specifically that they want with Austria and the Ukraine. Furthermore, they want to| dispose of the last shreds of the Ver- sailles treaty—the demilitarized zone on the Rhine, . The treaty of Versailles provides that the Germans can keep no troops and havé no fortifications on the left bank of the Rhine. Hitler has let it be known that he intends to send before the end of this year at least one regiment to Cologne. He means to do it whether the French want it or not, but prefers to have it without trouble—if possible. Ribben- trop is going to tell Laval of Hitler's intention and will warn him that anything more than a formal protest would only create another tension in Europe, since the Reich government is as much decided to go ahead with its plans as Mussolini is with his Ethiopian campaign. Herr von Ribbentrop will also dis- cuss the question of France's alliance | with Russia. It is an open secret that the Germans intend to expand toward the East, that is to say, toward the Black Sea, as soon as their military preparations are com- pleted. It is believed that they will do it less clumsily than Mus- solini, who butted into Ethiopia like @ bull in a china shop. ‘Without saying it in so many words, Hitler's ambassador-at-large intends to hint to the French that it would be inadvisable for them to get too deeply involved with the Russians be- cause a conflict between the Soviets and the Reich is inevitable and Ger- many’s advice to PFrance is to stay clear of it. The same goes as regard to Austria. ; ‘The Danubian Republic has a gov- ernment entirely under Mussolini’s control. II Duce holds the purse strings and Prince Stahremberg must dance to his music.

Hitler hopes that Von Stahrem- berg will do what Maj. Fey has done. When Hitler could no longer finance the Austrian Heimwehr, Fey went to Mussolini and got him to subsidize that military organ- ization, which in the last moment was discovered to be 100 per cent Nazi. Fey was kicked out by Mussolini and the young prince has become Austria’s dictator. Hitler believes Starhemberg will follow Frey's ex- ample as son as an opportunity is offered him.

In fixing November 10 as Commu- nity Chest Sunday, despite its proxi- mity to Armistice day, the Federation of Churches called attention to the fact that while Armistice day marked the cessation of war for millions of people, there is no armistice in the war waged by the Community Chest against poverty, illness, helplessness and hopelessness and consequently it was felt that the two subjects would blend fittingly for the occasion. The Florence Crittenton Home ba- bies will again “do their bit” in this year's Community Chest campaign, according to an-announcement yester- day by H. Donald Sonnemanna, chair- man of the Subcommittee on Exhibits. The bables will make their daytime home in the window of the depart- ment store of Lansburgh & Bro. at Seventh and E streets. They will be transported to and from “work” daily in the Rotary bus and a doctor and trained nurses will be in constant at- tendance throughout the week. Many Windows to Appeal. This is only one of the 17 win- dows arranged in prominent stores throughout the business district by Sonnemann in connection with the decorators of each store. In some instances several Chest organizations, performing the same kind of work, have combined their efforts in one window, while in others single organi- zations occupy the entire window.

November 9.— Final urban returns from Tuesday's general election in Kentucky showed tonight that® Democrats who elected their State ticket by a landslide ma= jority polled their banner votes in populous centers formerly Republican strongholds. With only 92 of the State's 4,219 precincts uncounted, the majority of Lieut. Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler, Democrat, over Judge King Swope, Republican, for Governor, mounted to 92,130. Most of the missing precincts were in rural districts. Chandler had 544,826 and Swope 452,696. Third District to Chandler. Complete unofficial returns from the third congressional district, made up of metropolitan Louisville, gave Chandler, who campaigned as a New Dealer, a majority of 17,027 over Swope, who bid for votes solely on State issues. This represented an actual turnover of 30,932 votes for the Democrats, compared to four years ago, when the Republican nomi. nee for Governor carried the district by 13905. The district gave President Roosevelt a majority of 5,265.
