By United Press
ROME, Nov. 4.-Italy is going
ahead to victory in Ethiopia as it
did in 1918 in the World War, Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini shouted to a
throng massed in the Piazza Venetia

Seventeen years ago this very
day. said Mussolini, ITALY won the
most brilliant of victories not only
for itself, but for the Allies. Today
we are all engaged in a new battle
The italian people, because they are
unbreakably united and unshakeably
determined, will once more obtain
full victory
AS Mussolini spoke bells were
tolling in towers all over the
country and wives, mothers and
sweethearts awaited news from the
front where an Italian army is push
ing into Ethiopia.
II Duce had just returned from
commemoratory mass at the
Church of st. Mary of the Angels
and from the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier, accompanied by members
of the cabinet, high officials of the
armed forces and the Fascist party
and diplomats who joined with him
in honoring the $4,000 Italians who
fell in action.
He appeared on the f1ag-draped
balcony of his palace overlooking
the great square and made a brief
speech. He wore the uniform of
a commander in the Fascist militia
Before he spoke he surveyed the
thousands of Fascist Black Shirts
and ordinary citizens squeezed into
the square, standing immobile while
the great crowd cheered thunder
ouSly.
He spoke with his usual dramatic
gestures and then abruptly disap-
peared into his office Three times
the crowd with its shouts recalled
him, roaring "Duce, Duce, Duce!"

Approximately 500 Butler
University students, bubbling
over with college fun and the
desire to see a show without
paying for it, crashed the In
diana Theater at 10 today and
sat down to await the picture
which was not scheduled
until 1.
The management called po-
lice and three squads went in
to interview the students. AS
a result the students left. They
started for the Circle Theater
but police beat them there and
wouldn't let them in.
The students - both sexes
then returned to their cars
which were parked in the
Circle, snarling traffic, and
rode off into the rain. 1t seems
they were celebrating a football
game of last Saturday.

WITH THE ITALIAN ADVANCE
Ethiopia, Nov. 4.-The first wave Of
the Italian army, on its way tt
Makale, is advancing beyond the
point where roads had been pre-
pared in advance.
1t is going into a region where
only camel and mule caravan trail;
exist, where never before has there
been any wheeled vehicle.
The column is utilizing the larg-
est number Of flea tanks yet gath
cred in war time.
The desperate" bombing squad
ron of Count Galeazzo Ciano, Pre-
mier Benito Mussohni's son-in-law
is making reconnaissance ahead OF
the army and there is also a screen
of scout planes.
The region is mountainous and
the average altitude in the valleys
is 5000 feet, on the peaks 1900 feet
The population is welcoming the
soldiers and emitting curious char
acteristic shrill yells. No resistance
has yet been reported.
The army attained all objectives
without difficulty on the first day
of its second thrust into Ethiopia
and it moved at dawn Monday
farther toward Makale, its objective
80 miles south of the positions in
which the troops bivouacked last
night.
1t is my guess that the entire
operation will take four or five days
and that then there will be a long
pause for consolidation Of positions
The operation will leave the
Italians in possession of a great ter
ritory bounded on the south by the
Takkaze River valley some go miles
south of the Eritrean frontier.
