GENEVA, Oct. 9.-League
Of Nations leaders, meeting
today as a steering committee
of the Assembly, decided to
apply steam-roller tactics to
obtain quick condemnation of
Italy by the Assembly tonight
or tomorrow.
Nevertheless. virtually unanimous
agreement on penalties against Italy
was foreSeen after the steering
committees decision on steam roller
tactics, with possibly two or three
nations making slight reservations.
A rapid canvass of assembled
delegates by the United Press indi-
Gated that Switzerland Austria and
possibly one or two other nations
would speak during discussion of the
report of the committee of six.
Prompt Approval Expected
All other nations were expected
to remain silent, to indicate their
unqualified approval of the report
and its conclusions.
Giuseppe Motta of Switzerland, it
was believed, would make a brief
speech. Stressing Switzerland's ira

Egon Berger Waldenegg of Aus
tria was expected to criticise some
of the reports phraseology as be-
ing too harsh against Italy. Aloisi
then will state Italy's objections,
after which the report will be con-
Sidered and most probably approved.
The committee also decided TO
appoint a committee of "a nations
to coordinate in deciding what
penalties shall be applied to Italy
by all members of the League.
Committee Acts Swiftly
The steering committee. headed
by EdOuard BeneS of Czechoslovakia,
president of the assembly, acted
firmly and decisively.
Imposition of these penalties is to
begin next week, to be adhered to
by all nations which agree with the

DuCe's Men Are 10 to 30
Miles Deep in Northern
Ethiopia.
TACTICS UNDER STUDY
StrategistS Believe Real
Drive Has Not Yet
Been Started.
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE

Adds ABABA, Oct. o.
Five days of fighting, made
up preponderately of skirm-
ishes, have pushed the Italian
line forward on a front per-
haps 60 miles long to a depth
of from 10 to 80 miles in
Ethiopian territory.
The territory on the northern
front under Italian domination en-
braces the cities of AduWa and Adj
graf and the vicinity of the Holy
City of Aksum. None are strategi-
cally important to Ethiopia, but the
capture of Aduwa had great psy-
Geological weight in Italian minds
because of the massacre of Italian
troops by Ethiopians there 80 years
ago.
If the Ethiopian troops did not
actually resist the Italian invasion
at AduWa and Adigrat, they proved
by dozens of border raids, brushes
and one or two larger engagements
that they were unafraid of the
tanks, planes, completely equipped
infantry and other modern weapons
brought to bear against them.
Part Gas to Play
The great question is the part gas
is to play in this undeclared war
Except for one unconfirmed report
gas has not been used, which, in the
minds of experts is due to it's po-
tentialities for mass destruction.
The possibility of its use in the
form of bombs hurled from planes
far behind the actual front is caus-
ing concern in Adds Ababa where
it is thought that it might seriously
shatter morale.
The invasion of Eritrea by one OF
Ras Siyyoum's divisions III seen as
hardly being test of strength. The
raid was repeatedly made almost
without resistance, leading to the
fear that the raiders might be cut
off from their line of retreat ano
suffer serious setback.
Devitalize Attack
Military experts in the capital
continue convinced that the only
hope for success for Ethiopian arms
lies in letting the country devital-
ize the attack" 1t is generally be-
lieved in Adds Ababa that the real
test between the Italian invaders
and the defending forces is still
pending
Bombings in the south and posi-
bly, in the east are regarded as in
consequential. The possibility is
also considered that Italian moves
in the north thus far have been
merely screen for the first def
mite drive into Ethiopia, yet to be
launched.
