MEXICAN REBELS
 GAIN ONE POINT

Nogales, Sonora, Mex, Oct. 21-- tUP)-The future of Sonora's revo- lution hung on the turn of events today. Rebel bands were reported heading for the safety of rugged mountains in the face of strong concentrations of feedral troops. A report from Mexico City said Gen. Juan Gertuche had been relieved as military commander of the state. The Nogales, Ariz., International said it was informed Governor Ramon Ramos of Sonora had re- signed in Mexico City. Removal of General zertuche may indicate either federal policy of conciliation towards the rebels, or organization of strong military move to crush them, observers said.
 Official confirmation of Ramos resignation would be accepted here as evidence of conciliatory attitude.
 Rebels were asserted to have reit- erated they were not fighting the federal authority but Ramos, who they say is an adherent of General Plutarco Elias Gales, former strong man of Mexico" and administration of Agrarian laws, which they term uprisings prove one of stern military unjust.
 Should federal policy towards the suppression, a long campaign of guerilla warfare would be inevitable, 1t was believed.

Premier Laval of France Has Ten Days for His
 Last Effort
BL RARLPH HEINZEN

(Copyright, 1885. by United Press
 Paris, Oct. 1.-(UP).-Premiel Pierre Laval, whose foreign policy received the endorsement of the French electorate at yesterdays parliamentary election, today faced the supreme test of his abilities as a conclliator in the international field.
 The honest broker" who seeks to keep the war in Africa from leaping across the Mediterranean by reconciling Anglo-Italian differences and by acting as go-between be- tween Mussolini and Halle Selassie has ten days of grace in which to work diplomatic miracle.
 League Does No More
 The League of Nations will take no further punitive action against Italy before October 31 when the penalties committee reconvenes to decide the date upon which the sanctions already voted shall go into effect. Laval's power to legis- late by decree also holds until Oct. 31. So he is free to make the most of h. breathing space.
 The cabinet will meet Tuesday and Wednesday to hear Laval out line the course he will pursue in his dual capacity of premier and foreign minister.
 The prospect Laval faces is dis heartening. The essential deadlock between Italian ambitions and the leagues stand that Italy shall not be allowed to profit by an illegal war has not been broken. England still stands firmly at the head of the leagues united front.
 Ethiopia's king did not make Laval's talk easier when he de- clared yesterday that he was un- willing to talk peace with Mus solini as long as an inch of his country's soil remained under the heel of an Italian soldier.
 Laval Vindicated
 Lavals vindication at the polls yesterday was complete despite slight swing to the left at the ex- pense of the center. He was re- turned to the senate on the first ballot both from the Seine depart ment, where the left wing gains were greatest, and from his na- tive Puy de Dome.
 The most arresting feature of the election was the ballot that opened the door of the French senate to

By EDWARD w. BEATTE Copyright 1885 by United Pressj

Addis Ababa, Oct. 21 -- UP) - Evidence that the Ethiopian army is preparing to take the offensive against the Italian invaders, n1ultis piled today.
 Several thousand troops of the Imperial guard streamed out of the capital for the front, equipped with modern weapons.
 The emperor called in some of the best warriors in the country, iri- cluding those led by former war Minister Iere Biru, who had been in disgrace for selling government arms for private profit. Biru's old offense was forgotten in this na- tional crisis. He is known as one of the fiercest fighters in Ethiopia.
 Old Tribal Feuds.
 Meanwhile, disconcerting reports have reached the capital from the south of outbreaks of old tribal feuds there. The withdrawal of the naa- jority of the Amharas from Ualual by the governor of that district for war service has resulted in 8 flare- up between Silti and Marako tribes men. The former raided the market town of Makaro. Later the Makaro tribesmen returned the raid, leaving two dead Siltis behind them. Furth- CT trouble among the primitive fighters in the region is feared.
 After being out of communication with Ras Siyoum, commander of the defense forces in the north, for nearly a fortnight the government today re-establiShed telephonic con- tact.
