[TALIANS PREPARE FOR NEXT ADVANCE 100,000 Soldiers Eager to Continue Invasion to Amba Alagi. By the Associated Press Foreign Staff. WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY AT MAKALE, Ethiopia, November 16.— Huge preparations, marked by sharp combats, were made by the Italian Army today all along the line for the next advance. Three army corps solidly entrenched themselves in advanced positions. Be- hind the line there were 100,000 men, eager for the next forward march. 40 Miles From Makale, Amba Alagi, roughly 40 miles south of Makale, is the next objective, and the Italian intelligence section report- ed it learned Emperor Haile Selassie had sent the order of “no retreat” to his warriors massing in that vicinity. So close is Amba Alagi to the Italian outposts that Gen. Emilio de Beno could see it through binoculars when he climbed Mount Bolbala, 10 miles beyond Makale. Reports reached here that Ras Seyoum, former Governor of Tigre Province whom the Italians drove out, has arrived at Togara, near Amba Alagi, to take command of the Ethiopian forces there. Because of the mountainous forma- tion and the aititude, 10.000 fect.

SELASSIE REVIEWS 10,000. Warriors Step to “Dixie” and “St. Louis Blues.” ADDIS ABABA, November 16 (£).— | Ten thousand Ethiopian warriors, bound for the front, passed smartly in ! review before a proud Emperor Haile Selassie today, and gasps of astonish- ment went up from foreign observers. The troops stepped to the tunes of those two famous American songs, “Dixie” and “St. Louis Blues.” Natives also were surprised. Many had their first sight of cornets and trombones, and one super-long saxaphone was tooted by a particularly lanky Walegan. | The usual native drums and flutes also were included in the band, giving Broadway syncopation a new flair. | The soldiers were from Walega, the richest province in Ethiopia. They ! marched to the palace to salute the Emperor. | ALIEN TRIBES AID ETHIOPIA. Somalilang Warriors Marching to' Oppose Italians. DIREDAWA, Ethiopia, November 16 (via Djibouti, French Somaliland).—; Tribes of fierce desert warriors, armed | only with spears, clubs and knives, were reported today to be crossing frontiers into Ethiopia to help their racial brothers repel the Italian ad- vance from the South. The tribesmen are coming into this country from both French and Brit- ish Somaliland. European traders who are leaving the war zones said thousands of Ethiopian volunteers also are hasten- ing toward Harar and Jijiga to join the army. Many of the Ethiopian | warriors are equipped with new blue uniforms and cartridge belts. U.

The Americans composed the “Man- hattan String Quartet” and were | scheduled to play Monday under aus- pices of the Rome Philharmonic So- ciety.

The force at Shanhaikwan is not in itself alarmingly large. Its presence there, it is pointed out, may be for the puprose of threatening Nanking and North China objections to the Japa- nese plans rather than indicating an intention to start the occupation of the north. Chinese Troops Withdrawing. Meanwhile the withdrawal of Chi- nese troops of Gen. Shang Chen, gov- ernor of Hopei, from the Tientsin re- gion to Southern Hopei, is under way. This leaves Gen. Sung Cheh-Yuan, whom the Japanese call “satisfactory,” without a Chinese rival in military strength in the Tientsin-Peiping re- gion. One of the possibilities which has been under discussion is that Gen. Sung may be appointed by Nanking as pacification commissioner for Ho- pei and Chahar. ‘Things have not had clear sailing for the Japanese and the immediate prospects do not appear bright for n: five-province autonomous northern regime. Gen. Yen Shi-Shan, over- lord of Shansi, formerly friendly to Japan, has been at Nanking all this month, much to the Japanese disap- pointment, and is declared to be in- tending to stay there. Gen.

While all this develops in the north | and while Shanghai's nervousness, re- sulting from causes including the murder of a Japanese marine and the wrecking of a Chinese shop at Nan- king, continues, undercurrent or pri- vate conversations with the Chinese goes to the effect that Chinese resist- ance against Japan is considerably more likely than formerly. Political Unity Possible. This does not apply necessarily to the immediate northern crisis. But at Nanking the conflux of politicians from South China and elsewhere in- unity than for years. The new money program with Brit- ish blessing reveals at least a tem- porary firming up by the National Government and Marshal Chiang Kai-Shek. Nanking reports say there is growing sentiment there in favor of refusing further major Japanese demands, avoiding a fight if possible, but fighting back if Japan invades China again, possibly using the Yel- low River as the northern line of resistance. Such reports have put new life into many patriotic Chinese minds. Nevertheless, compromise is basic in Chinese politics. The present crisis in the northern provinces is hardly expected to result in armed resistance in the early future (Copyright. 1035, by Chicago CHINA SEEKS TO HOLD AREA. “Death Blow” Declared Given Au- tonomy in Northern Province.

In Hopei Province, however, sup- porters of autonomy continued their work. National government leaders in O | Nanking were represented as feeling the move for autonomy is premature |and that it could not be successful unless backed by Japanese troops. Tension in Shanghai, high since a Japanese marine was slain a week ago, was reduced today by the with- drawal of patrols of armed Japanese marines from the Hongkew area. A force of Chinese troops, a dispatch from Peiping said, is on the march in Hopet Province while Japanese troops are concentrated near the Great Wall.

By the Associated Press. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was asked yesterday if she had any com- ment to make on being called “No. 1 pacifist.” She said she wouldn't comment on that specifically, but she would be willing to say that often people take part of a speech or article and don't read the whole, so they get a garbled idea of what any one thinks. However, she did report this reac- tion: “Any sincere and reasonable advo- cates of peace have so many thinking people with them, I hardly think you could pick out any one individual to set above any others.” dicates on the surface more political | This Changing World OW that the British elections| are over, the great and dan- | gerous diplomatic game will N be resumed at Geneva, Lon- | don, Rome and Paris. The Conservatives have been re- turned to office with a handsome ma- jority. This shows clearly that the British people are indorsing the policy of their government to preserve the line of communications with the rest of the empire at any price. The British people have also indorsed the policy of extensive military prepara- | tions so that Britannia may rule the waves unchallenged again. One man who since the end of the | last war was Britain's outstanding figure has been thrown in the political waste paper basket. Ramsay Mac- | Donald is politically through. British political stars do not go generally on the board of directors of insurance companies after they have been discarded; they are kicked upstairs to the House of Lords, and Ramsay will certainly become Lord Lossiemouth within the next three months. And Ram- say will look the part. The son of the Scotch housekeeper | is essentially a nobleman. His dis- tinguished appearance, his manners and his aristocratic tastes are those| of a peer by birth. At one time the Laborites were crazy about “Our | Ramsay,” just because of his lordly manner. Today they call him a traitor. Maybe he will find some con- solation for his political defeat in the promise of the government to fulfill his life-long ambition that after he passes away he will be buried in the Westminster Abbey. Had Ramsay been “well born” he would have in- evitably been an outright Tory. Baldwin Wins Respect. Stanley Baldwin, the leader of the Conservative party, had the circum- stances of his birth been different, would have been a sincere and able labor leader. Without being brilliant or having a particularly engaging per- sonality, Baldwin has earned the re- spect of his friends and opponents alike because of his great honesty and fine principles. Baldwin used to be a well-to-do man. When he succeeded Bonar Law as the head of the Tory party and became prime minister, he disposed of all his stocks and shares in various companies at a terrific loss. He did not consider it ethical for a man at the head of a government to have “vested interests.” Whatever was left he invested in real estate and in gov- ernment bonds. The head of a gov- ernment and of an important party must be like Caesar’s wife. Although the head of the Tories, his heart is really with the masses and he has been unflinching in his efforts to help the underdog. The new British cabinet will have some new blood when it comes before the next House of Commons. The most interesting type will be the fight- ing bull of the Conservative party, Winston Churchill, who will take charge of one of the two service branches, either the air ministry or the admiralty. Churchill has Ameri- can blood in him, although he does was a New Yorker. But he likes our “jumbo” expression and he favors a jumbo navy and a jumbo air force for Great Britain—the biggest the world has ever seen. Views Fit Times. Some years ago he was denounced British Vote for Peace at the Price of Big Navy Brings Revival of Dangerous Diplomacy in Europe’s Capitals. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN, not like to talk about it. His mother | S! as an incorrigible jingoist. Now even the Labor party admits that without a powerful fighting force Great Britain may be doomed. Even the new leader of the Labor party, the youthful and insignificant Maj. Attlee, had to admit during the campaign that “Could there be a madder policy than to run the risk of —_— Turn your old trinkets, jewelry and watches into MONEY at— A.KXahn Jnc. Arthur J. Sundlun, Pres. 43 YEARS at 935 F STREET A war, but to refuse to arm the police- man who had to stop that war?” And the British have since last August as- sumed the role of Europe’s policeman. There is no doubt that even the| most enthusiastic pacifists have to admit that there can be no more talk of arms reductions—quite the con- trary—until the present crises have been solved. And there is mighty little hope that they will be solved by peaceful means.

This may be! true and again it may not. Results May Show. The real truth will be known‘ shortly. If the revolutionary out- | breaks die down like in the past, after | a few Egyptians have been killed and | many heads and noses have been | broken, it is unlikely that the Bntlsh‘ will make Mussolini responsible for | the trouble. But, if by any chance the Egyptians refuse to be cowed and the present troubles become an actual well-organized revolution, there is no doubt that the British government and the British people will consider Mussolini’s agents responsible. And the consequences will be serious. A serious situation is also likely to develop in the Far East before the year is over. The five provinces of Northern China are reported “anz- ious” to secede from the Nanking government and place themselves under the “benevolent protection” of the Japanese armies. The Jap- anese intend to expand their sphere of influence to the Yangtse River and control Shanghai. The British have interests running over a billion dollars in that zone. The increased Japanese influence on the Aslatic mainland causes a “loss of face” for Great Britain and nothing is more harmful than losing face in the East. The British government is determined to fight to keep the sea route to India open. The question arises in the minds of many whether she will not have to fight also to keep India. LEAGUE’S ATTITUDE ONITALY SUPPORTED Sir Norman Angell and Admiral Sims Among Backers in Talks to Foreign Policy Group. By the Assoclated Press, BOSTON, November 16.—Approval of the League of Nations stand against Italy in her conflict with Ethiopia was voiced today by speakers at a meeting of the Foreign Policy Association. Among those who spoke for the League were Sir Norman Angell, former member of the British Parlia- ment, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1933; Admiral William S. Sims, U. S. N, retired; Bruce C. Hop- per, assistant professor of government at Harvard, and O. M. W. Sprague, Harvard professor of banking and finance, one-time liasion officer to the Bank of England. Sir Norman asserted the League’s collective action for peace was fated to collapse if the United States with- held its support, and if the efforts collapsed “the responsibility would have to be taken by the United tates.” Prof. Sprague urged an open door p?licy to eliminate some of the causes of war, —_— SANCTIONS INFORCED WARSAW, November 16 (4#).—Pol- ish citizens who break League of Na- tions sanctions against Italy will be subject to imprisonment up to one year and heavy fines, under the terms of a presidential decree published today. Only two transactions with Italians, both under the regulation of the League, are permitted. They are the export of coal in payment for a ship being built in Italy, and the import of spare parts for Italian automobiles assembled in Poland.

Cheering throngs clustered outside the Palazzo Littorio, headquarters of the Fascist party. They followed the Black Shirt ban- ner, which was removed with an honor guard of militia to the Palazzo | Venezia, scene of the council meeting. | The crowds chanted “Duce, Duce.” | “viva reprisals!” Shortly before the official com-| munique denouncing the League of Nations action was issued, it was an- | nounced the council would hold an- other meeting Monday evening to dis- cuss further the threats to Italy which | are read into the application of sanc- | tions by the Fascist authorities. The council decided that on De- | cember 1 the 94 committees of pro- | vincial feminine organizations of mothers and widows of World War dead will be convoked in Rome to plan for resistance against sanctions and “to intensify and co-ordinate” eco- nomic disciplinary measures.

Il Duce has previously expressed himself as satis- fled with De Bono's campaign. Selection of Gen. Badoglio as the new commander in chief at the front was in line with Italian political de- velopments siice the war began. He is reputed to be popular with the army because he is known as probably the best wartime general, and Italy's greatest strategist. He never has been known, however, as a Fascist supporter. Peace talks between Mussolini and Sir Eric Drummond, British Ambassa- dor, subsided momentarily. . KANSAS OFF U. S.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON. November 16—The freighter Farnham, carrying 5,000 tons of scrap iron and steel, cleared tonight for Genoa, Italy, and there wasn't much doubt on the water front about how the cargo would be used. ‘The Farnham is under British reg- istry, owned by the Delta Steamship Co. of London, reputedly operated with Italian capital.

Cleared for Genoa. The vessel was cleared for Genoa via Sydney, N. S, three days’ run from here. At Sydney she will stop for fuel, Costello said. Speculation was immediately raised here on the part League sanctions might possibly play when the Farn- ham tries to clear from a British port. Six American seamen were signed today in completing the complement of the crew. It was learned from a reliable source that Capt. Carmelo D'Arrigo, commanding the vessel, had guaran- teed to pay for the return to the United States of the American mem- bers of the crew in case the vessel did not return. Agents said she wouldd leave during the night or tomorrow, but a north- east gale was raging outside, threat- ening to delay her deprriure. Sailing of the Farnhara was a lively topic of water front discussion. The League of Nations sanctions against | Italy become operative Monday and in i some circles the belief was voiced she would never get beyond Gibraltar, if a British warship did not halt her on the high seas. Clearance papers were granted the | Farnham in the usual manner after | six vacancies in her crew of 25 were filled. The Farnham is commanded by Capt. Carmelo D'Arrigo, who has experienced much difficulty in keep- | ing a full crew aboard during the past | week.
