war-like enthusiasm in the capital today
 A rlimor that the Philippians had recaptured Aduwa caused general rejoicing. The rumor said "thou- sands" of Italian prisoners had been taken. There was no official confirmation of 1t.
 However, the government offi- ciaily announced that strong Ethiopian force had made a flying invasion of Italian Eritrea, pene- trating a considerable distance.

 Young Italians Drill

 Sheets of liquid flame spurted 46 feet from the mouths of guns, ar- tillery fire cut down rows of ar- ticifical trees and machine gun fire cracked over the Piazzo. Il Duce gestured excitedly during the 45- minutes of f-'Sham warfare.
 The mimic battle, an impressive demonstration of loyalty to Musso- lini's campaign in East Africa, fol- lowed a sports demonstration wit messed by 10000 Romans.
 Anti-Fascists Bitter
 Geneva, Oct. B. CUP)-Italy's Ethiopian campaign is an adven- ture of a politically bankrupt dic- tatorship," Italian anti-Fascists charged in a meeting today.
 The anti-Fascists, ranging from liberals to- communists, adopted a resolution stating that Mussolini is at the end of his resources "and seeking desperately by means of remote military enterprise to achieve political success never hitherto attained and escape from an untenable economic financial situation"
 The enemy of the Italian people is not Ethiopia but this dictator ship which humiliates, exhausts, corrupts and isolates them," the anti Fascist resolution said.
 Lansbury Resigns
 London, Oct. 8-UP)-Georgc Lansbury, faithful wheel horse of the chariot of peace and most be- loved of labor leaders, today re- signed as leader of the parliament tary labor party in the house Of commons, because he is out of sym- pathy with the party's policy Of urging that Italy be punished for her invasion of Ethiopia.
 Lansbury's resignation was sub- mitted to the meeting of the par liamentary laborites which vainly appealed to him to reconsider this decision, based upon his opposition to the party's recent vote at it's Brighton congress in favor of league sanctions.

ITALY IS FACED
 WITH BIG LOSS


 Washington, Oct. 6. CUP)-Italy is faced with a potential loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in shipping revenues as Q result of President Roosevelt's neutrality policy, federal officials estimated to- day.
 A large portion of the tonnage and passengers carried to and from the United States by Italian ves- sels, 1t was believed, would be shift ed to American and other neutral ships.
 Trade reports to the department of commerce over the past few years show no unusual preparedness ac- tivtties on Italy's part. Ethiopian trade has been almost too small to measure with the usual yardsticks. Most of the Italian purchases have comprised cotton and iron and steel.
 Practically no guns or explosives have been purchased recently by Italy in the United States, accord ing to odicial figures, and even her cotton and steel purchases have shown little increase recently.
