At the same time, Mr.. Ickes
disclosed that Federal agencies

Asked what income limitations
would be established, Mr.. 1ckes
replied:
I'VE haven't decided the sal

Ethiopia Plans
For Long
War
BY H. r. KNICKERBOCKER

Adds ABABA, Oct. 90.
Premier Benito Mussolini himself
does not realize any more keenly
than Emperor Halle Selassie that
II Duce now is unable to turn back
on his African venture, and the
Emperor therefore is making every
preparation for a prolonged,
bloody. devastating conflict.
Reports from the northern front
indicated today the Italians were
maintaining quick pace in their
advance on Makale, strategic
northern city on the route south.
ward to Adds Ababa.
Speeds Defense
In the face of this, Ethiopia Is
preparing to make her big defense.
Although the Emperor has not
given up a faint hope that the
British will step in at the last mo.
ment to halt italy, he is doing
everything possible to defend his
realm alone. He is preparing for
a fight which may run into years.
Ethiopian authorities awaited
anxiously for the first reaction
from Rome to the British impos-
ing Of sanctions against Italy and
to- the general penalties action Of
all League members.
Nevertheless opinion remained
unchanged here that nothing less
than military measures will halt
the Italian advance.
The Italian advance on Makale
was reported to be meeting no
resistance, as the Emperor was
believed not ready to engage in
battle At this time.
According to Plan
Large Ethiopian forces were
reported retiring before the
Italians, and preparations for a
military evacuation Of Makale
were reported under way.
The Italians were expected to
occupy it eventually without fir
ing a shot.
Such tactics were in accordance
with the Negus' contention that
the difficult Ethiopin terrain
can do more to defeat the well.
equipped Italians than Ethiopian
warriors, although such q plan
met difficulty in holding the
eager Ethiopian fighters in check.
