Downright. 1885. by United Press

TRENTO, Italy, Aug. 81
Premier Benito MusSolini, in
an unscheduled speech here
today, served notice on the
world that no oil concessions
granted by the emperor of
Ethiopia would alter Italy's
attitude toward the last in
dependent African kingdom.
Political maneuvers now being at
tempted abroad" he Numbered be-
fore $4,000 listeners in Dante Square
to cheer him on his way back to
Rome from the Italian war maneu-
vers, will not lead Italy to abandon
the road she has taken.
That road is already won Any
attempt to place obstacles in it will
prove futile"
Denounces Talk of Sanctions
In his speech at Monte Ronzone
earlier in the day before 140, 900 of
the troops gathered on the Austro-
Italian frontier to demonstrate
Italy's ability to defend the Bren-
ner Pass, II Duce had declared that
Italy will have 100000 men under
arms by October l. In the same
speech he def1antly denounced all
talk of sanctions.
The world must know onc again
that while there is talk so absurd
and provocative of penalties Sane
tons, we will not give up a single
soldier, a single sailor, a single
aviator" II Duce cried to his men.
Submarines Are Modified
He spoke from the heights of Mt.
Ronzone, with the soldiers ranged
| along the slopes of the hill. King
Victor Emmanuel stood by his side.
AS he shouted defiance to the
world, the chief of staff of his army
was on the way to France on a
sudden mystery visit to the chief
of the French general staff.
All the submarines in his navy
was assembling off Sicily, ready fol
maneuvers that would put a deadly
line of the torpedo craft GRO the
Mediterranean from Sicily tc
Africa.
He reiterated those statements
here, where he received one of the
warmeSt receptions accorded him or
his trip to the northern Italian "wal
zone" He was cheered for 10 min
utes when he appeared on the bal
cony Of the government palace over
looking Dante Square.
Beats Fist on Concrete
Pronouncing every word distinctly
Mussolini bent low over the ratings
of the balcony, beating its concrete
edge with his fist as he roared:
The people of Trento as we'll as
the entire Italian people are indis-
solubly massed about the Fascist
lictor Symbol of power in ancient
Rome) and are ready to face all
trials"
After his speech, which was even
shorter than the four-minute one at
Monte Rongone, the italian dictator
boarded the presidential train, pre-
Sumably en- route for Rome.

LOW CLUBS To
MAKE TROUBLE
FOR LEADERS
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Although
they are definitely out of the race,
the second division clubs may hold
the key to the National League
pennant fight.
All four of them-Cincinnati
Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia
have enough incentives to win
games during the remainder OF the
season to cause the three pennant
.chasers no end of trouble.
The St Louis Cardinals, New
York Giants and Chicago Cubs are
punched so closely that every game
won and lost from now on has a
bearing on their pennant chances.
About the only team sure of its
place is fourth place Pittsburgh, too
far behind to rise any further and
too far ahead TO drop any lower
Here are the second division in
centives which may play major
part in the pennant scrap:
Cincinnati - Charles Dresser
completing his first full year as
manager. hopes to win 81 games
The Reds haven't scored that many
victories in five years and need on
ly five more triumphs to turn the
trick
Philadelphla-Th Phils, waging
a spirited battle for fifth place, will
fall below last seasons level if they
finish lower than that.
Brooklyn-The Dodgers have two
Incentives: To take fifth place,
which would be an Improvement
over 1888 and 1894 when they were
sixth, and to forestall an impend-
ing shakeup.
BoSton-The Braves must start
winning if they hope to avoid set
ting a new modern National League
record for most games lost in a
season. The Braves, who have won
33 and lost 90, need IL victories in
their remaining 90 games to avoid
equaling the mark, 100 defeats.
Three second division clubs which
saw action yesterday Jared badly.
The Cardinals scored four runs in
the eighth inning to defeat the
Boston Braves, 6-3, and stay two
games ahead of the Giants. The
Giants halted Cincinnati. GA, as
Carl Hubbell won his Goth game.
The Cubs stayed within half a game
of the Giants with an 80 victory

Liners Trouble

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. U.P)-
Federal agencies took initial action
today to determine whether new
maritime safety laws enacted by the
last congress were observed by own
ers of the Dixie, grounded on the
French Reef off the Florida coast.
Two inspectors from Jacksonville.
Fla, were ordered by the federal
bureau of navigation and steam
boat inspection to investigate the
cause Of the mishap.
Should there, be injury or loss OF
life among passengers the new LA
bihty laws signed last Friday by
President Roosevelt would apply tor
the first time. The inspectors are
expected 70 determine whether
safety at sea provisions of the new
laws were adhered to.
The extent of the Southern Pa
cific Steamship lines liability in
case of injury or death OF passen-
gers is dependent upon the ability
OF passengers TO prove negligence
on the part of the line or of Off
