McNair Only Witness
 McNair was the only witness. He had but a glimpse of the driver and his passengers and said he noted no sign of panic in that instant. He be- ,lieved that the emergency brake had been slammed on SO hard that the back wheels were locked.
 Two hours after the machine had plunged into the river, Diver Evart arrived from Norfolk.
 Evart went down dozen times during the afternoon, each time finding his suit too bulky to permit him to enter the machine. Finally heavy tackle was in place. He att tached chains to the chasis and the bus was lifted out and lowered onto the barge.
 The bodies had been thrown to- gether in one end of the machine. Cushions were thrown about in wild disorder.
 All day, scores of persons had hys terically paced the banks, certain that missing relatives were in the bus. One by one these relatives were found until, when nightfall came, the few grieving persons who remained on the river bank were morally certain that their worst fears were justified. One man came to the bridgehead and began taking of his clothes, announcing he knew his daughter was in the bus and he was going to dive for her. He was restrained. His daughter was not in the bus.

cupants took quick pictures of Jon and then fled.
 The new glare of publicity on the Lindbergh case with Hauptmann'S approaching execution and public discussion of the case by Gov. Har- old Hoffman of New Jersey and others also contributed to the Lind berghs' decision to make new home in England.
 United States and British govern ment officials as well as steamship operators cooperated with Lind bergh in keeping their departure se- cret until today.
 Few Saw Them Off
 Only a few closest members of the family saw them off on the comparatively small ship, which sailed from 8 Hudson river pier early Sunday morning. Other mem- bers of the family knew the Lind berghs were going abroad, but thought it was only for 8 visit and not to live indefinitely.
 The American Importer, of the American Merchant line, is due at Cobh, Ireland, December 29, at Liv- erpool, England, Dec 30 and Man. chester on New Years eve.
 Thus with the New Year the Lindberghs will begin their new life, in a country which they chose be- cause they believe its people are the most law abiding in the world. Where in England they plan to set- tie down was not known.
 Christmas At Sea
 Christmas day will find the fa- nous flyer and his family in mid- Atlantic on a steamer making its way slowly across the same ocean over which he flew to fame, and consequent unwelcome publicity, in 1927. Their only companions on the voyage of self-imposed exile are the officers of the American Importer.
 But the loneliness of their voy- age was in complete keeping with its object-peace and isolation.
 It is believed that in England the may go to the home of Mrs. Lindberghs brother-in-law, Aubrey Neil Morgan, who lives in Cardiff, Wales. Morgan, whose late wife was Elizabeth Morrow and who is believed to be visiting in China, has spent considerable time in this country at the estate of Mrs. Lind bergh's mother, Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow, in Englewood, N. J.
 The friend of Lindbergh, while confirming that he is now enroute to England with his family, de- clined to discuss any details of the departure.
 Worried Over Threats
 But as to the reasons for the Lindberghs' decision to move from their homeland, he explained that they had been worried over the

 Italian Ships Moving
 All along the coast of the coun- t.y of the Bible where Christ was born, Italian ships were moving with troops and British warships were patrolling, lazily alert.
 Indications increased that the government, realigning its position in view of the collapse of the French British proposals, was definitely committed to stern collective action for enforcement of the league cve- nant.
 It was believed that in commit ting itself, the government did so with safe assurances of immediate, active support fro mthe Meolper- ranean nations, large and small, in case Italy committed what is termed 8 mad dog" act and attacked the British fleet or British interests.
 Eden Is Young Man
 Eden, at 3e, the youngest man ever named to be secretary of state for foreign affairs, is regarded by Mussolini as personal enemy. threatened to resign from the cabi- net because he believed the Frencl1- British peace proposals would have rewarded Italy for attacking 8 league member; he is for the league of nations and for the enforcement of its formidable covenant against war makers. He is most unlikely, as foreign secretary, to approve any peace plans even nearly so favor able as those given her under the recent British French plan.
 It is indicated that Eden will have complete charge of foreign affairs, including the country's relations with the league.

 2-No more peace proposals to Italy are contemplated.
 3tThe government assumes that Italy knows that the death sentence has been passed of the recent French British proposals.
 It has learned authoitatively in Paris that Premier Pierre Laval has told Italian Ambassador Vittorio Cerruti that there is a feeling in France that Mussolini has not been helpful in recent peace attempts. It was added that Laval, concerned with troubles of his ownn, is not inclined to re-asSume the role of mediator now.
 A special privy council meeting was held at Sandringham, King Georges country estate, today. to give Eden his seals as foreign sec retary.
 Call Report Absurd
 Authoritative sources described as absurd reports from Rome that It. ally regarded Eden's appointment as denoting an unfriendly act.
 But war talk spread throughout Europe to mix sober thought of what may be ahead with the gaiety of the Christmas spirit.
 Reaction from capitals all over the continent left no doubt that the appointment of Anthony Eden as British foreign secretary, more than a diplomatic sensation, was regard ed as a curt warning to Premier Benito Mussolini that Great Brit ain is prepared for any emergency.
 His appointment coincidedl with an announcement that the British army will undergo the most exten- sive reorganization in its history.
 Italian troops were reported ready to leave to reinforce the army al-' ready in Libya, west of Egypt and the Sudan.

Another sharp BattIe

Rome, Dec. 23.--(UP).--A sharp battle in the Tembien region of the northern war front, with casualties as yet ,unestimated, was announced today in 8 communique from Mar shall Pietro Badoglio, Italian com mander-in-chief.
 The cornmunique said:
 Marshal Badoglio telegraphs that an Ethiopian column estimated at 5000 armed men attacked our lines in the zone of Abbi Addi in the Tembien region, marching north- wards. (Abbi Addi is 40 miles due west of Makale).
 "Our nationals and Editrean troops counter-attacked in lively fashion. The enemy, favored by the terrain, attempted to resist and the ensuing battle was very bitter.
 "Our troops were supported by artillery fire and aviation and ad- vanced fighting hand-to-hand.
 "The enemy finally retreated and dispensed.
 dOur losses and those of the enemy will be communicated as soon as ascertained.
 ssEditrean aviation units bombed enemy concentrations in the zone between Quoram and Lake Ashangi (south of Makale)")
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-23

Uf newspaper readers and editors Iegarding the military situation in Ethiopia,
 They include such questions as: Why is the Italian advance so slow? Es it affected by unforeseen geo. Graphical and climatic conditions? Are the fortunes of war turning against Italy? Can the Philippians seriously impede the oItalian ad- vance?
 Three Factors in Delay
 My opinion, based entirely on Conditions on the northern front, is that the advance is slower than was 1riginally scheduled because of three principal factors, which give in the order of their importance:
 The road building program, the dif1cult international situation, and the change of commanders in chief.
 The Italians on the northern front are constructing modern, per- manent roads designed to withstand the rainy season and the terrific Bounding of thousands of motor trucks. The roads are macadamized and the Italians are even preparing to asphalt some of them. This is 8 slow job, because at hundreds of places they must be hewn out of the live rock skirting the mountain side, often diverging entirely from the old caravan trail which is its general course.
 N Secondly, while I was at the front there were evidences several times That advances were delayed because of the tense international situation 1n Europe, which Premier Benito Mussolini did not wish to jeopar- dize, pending negotiations, by a new offensive.
 Thirdly: Naturally, after Marshal Emilio De Bono was notified of his Impending withdrawal as command CT in chief he withheld any consid- Nrable advances and Marshal Pietro Badoglio, his successor, after his ar- rival did not desire to order an inn mediate advance until he had the feins well in hand.
 .. I believe that these are the pre- dominant reasons for the past weeks of comparative offensive inactivity. = Never Expected Speed
 v Geographical conditions were not Unforeseen. The Italians knew well the nature of the country and the Nifficulties involved and from the be ginning never expected to make ad- yances as rapidly as the outside World seemed to expect.

told by high officers that there would necessarily be pauses of weeks between each phase of the advance. Incidentally, high officers with whom talked always tndi- cated that the occupation of Ethio- pia might take several years.
 I do not think the fortunes of war are turning, against the Ital- ians militarily.
 From the beginning they did not expect to encounter serious resist ance until they reached the present Makale line, where they were pre- pared for heavy resistance.
 From everything saw and heard, the Italian superiority should event. ually triumph, viewed from the mil- itary standpoint and leaving aside imponderableS such as league of nations penalties or international political pressure.
 Taking the long view, I think that the recent fighting has not been, militarily, very serious so far as holding up the Italians general ly is concerned. It may be recalled that 35 years ago the, United States had 75,0O0 men in the Philippines divided into $50 attachments, who were having an average of three fights a day. The Italians have not yet had so many fights per week and their army is not nearly so scattered as was ours in the Philip pines.
 The road building program has been slover, than in the first few weeks of the campaign because the Italians, with the rainy season fore- most in their minds, are construct ing the roads extraordinarily solid ly and carefully. Whether the roads will stand up during the rainy sea- son is a question vital to the safety of the expedition, and the Italians are not taking chances of disaster, which would ensue if the advance posts of expedition were isolated by the failure of roads to stand trathc during the deluges.
 Thus far the strength of the Ethiopian resistance on the north ern front has not exceeded Italian expectationS formed two months ago. One important point is the savagery and bitterness of the fight ing, as indicated by the ratio of killed and wounded. Normally the dead in a battle are as one to four compared to wounded; in the fight ing on the Takkaze river the dead have sometimes been as 10 to con- pared to wounded.
