Addis Ababa that the Ethiopian mobilization is pouring thousands of new fighters into the various fronts daily, concluded that the Ethiopian onslaught he predicted might de- eide definitely the trend of the war.
 Experts predicted that General Emilio De Bono, in active command of 150,000 regular Italian troops and 3O,00O natives on the northern front would advance his lines with a new, sharp drive before the counter-at- tack develops. The probable prin- cipal objective would be Makale, principal point on the big caravan route to the Addis Ababa-D Djioouti railroad.
 About Equally Divided
 Some observers estimated that when Ethiopia's Ras Siyoum is ready for attack he will have more than 100000 men to oppose virtually an equal number of effective Italian combat troops. They will be poorly armed, in comparison with De Bono's men, but will be operating ila their native wild territory and will attack, at least until they taste the power of well placed machine guns, with fanatic fervor.
 Badoglio based His computation of the probable time of Ethiopias attack on observation of the prog ress of mobilization and concentra- tio,, of the wild warriors Hooking to Ras Siyoum's standard.
 Ras Siyoum virtually has com pleted mobilization, Badogio said' and is engaged m concentrating ms men at strategic points.
 "When that phase is completed in the near future-Italians must be ready for a huge attack in the mass bethod of warfare preferred by the Philippians" he said.

 Harar, Ethiopia, Oct. 18-Chief- tains returning from the south eastern front today reported a Hull in hostilities. They said they be- lieved Gen. Rodolfo Graziani, Ital- ian commander in chief, was reluc- tant to advance because his air. planes had failed to reveal the loca- ton of Ethiopian defenders.
 They disclosed that Gen. Wahi2 Pasha, the brilliant Turk world war hero commanding the front, has kept his men concealed and in- structed them to refrain even from -pot-shooting airplanes and thus re- vealing themselves.
 sOffensive Held Up
 Sensing the advantage in the momentary trategic situation, Ras Nassibu, commander in chief of the Ethiopian eastern and southern armies, countermanded orders for an offensive after a war council at his headquarters at Jijuga.
 He said that an offensive, neces- sitating mass concentration, would play into Italian hands and risk the slaughter of his men.
 A feeling of security has been created behind the lines which may momentarily prove false. The Ethio- plans are jubilant and generally decree that modern military imple- ments, especially -airplanes, have prover intellectual because they failed to break the nations heart
 Despite the public calm, Ras Nassibu continues to send troops and supplies to the front. /
 Both sides seem playing a cat and mouse game in the south.
 Both commanders seemed to have decided, according to reports here that the first to advance against prepared positions and protecting bases would suffer heavy casualties
 May Face $Offensive
 It was believed here the Italians wiuld be forced on the offensive soon, since the Philippians have re- adopted the plan of turing the in- vaders deep into Ogaden in hope of severing their communications and isolating them from water, thus subjecting them to the same desert ailments-principally sourvey; which has stricken the Philippians.
 Sufferers in the Ethiopian army however, refuse to return home for treatment, insisting that they want positions in thef ront lines when the real show begins.
 Dr. Robert Hockman, American missionary conducting 8 Red Gross hospital at the front, said one req son for his intended visit to Adds Ababa was to get more Caucasian Red Cross workers in expectation of heevy casualties.

 Addis Ababa, Oct. 18.-(UP)-- Usually reliable, though unofficial sources reported to-day that Italy and Ethiopia were negotiating an agreement by which the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway might be spared from bombing by airplanes, and that the negotiations were likely to succeed.
 The negotiations, 1t was said, were based on the condition that Ethiopia would agree to cease trans porting munitions on the road. At first Ethiopia rejected this condi- tion, it was said, but later seemed inclined to agree.
 Ras Mulu Getta, war minister, who left for the fgont last night, was expected to be- a fortnight on the way and it was believed he would make for Dessye, the stra- tegic center on the north cen- tral front.
 Activity In North
 Another communique reported great activity on the northern front. It said that the Italians were entrenching themselves and putting out barbed wire apparent ly in fear of an attack from Ras Siyoum's forces" It was suggest ed that the consolidation might in- dicate that the Italians did not in- tend extensive further advances on that sector.
 Information regarding the rail- way negotiations was that they were initiated by Italy a week ago, on condition that neither troops nor munitions were trans ported. Ethiopia ignored the of- fer, it was said, but that some time during the last two days Italy amended the offer and banned only munitions transport.
 Ethiopia, at first reluctant, was said now to be ready to agree. Few munitions have been sent from Addis Ababa anyway, as it is re- mote from the coast; the caravan routes are opening after the rains; and it is desired to protect foreign CTS by keeping the railway open and giving them the facilities te leave if need be.

 to 100000, of which 10000 are r1a-

 It was noted that the Italian
 steamship Romolo sailed from Na- ples last night for Mogadiscio, port
 of Italian Somaliland, with nine collapsable field hospitals, one field
 dental office, 75 medical officers and 600 soldiers. It was to take aboard at Messina, Sicily, 118 medical offis cers, 200 soldiers, sanitation unit,
 mules and war materials.
 Military experts believe that the Italians ought soon to be thrusting well toward the Addis Ababa-Dji-
 bout railway if they are to maifi-
 tain their plana intact. Strong Concentrations Italian as well as other sources tell of stron Ethiopian concentra- tions south of the railway under
 Ras Nassibu, commander in chief, and there are apparently big forces
 much further south toward the
 Italian lines. There have been hints
 also of an Ethiopian offensive
 which would strike at the left flank
 of the Italians as they marched up
 the Webbe Shiheli river valley.

Since the devaluation of the dollar, which had the

there has been constant increase in importations
Of all kinds, especially butter says Congress

ing produce to run their own business

sell and the prices he shall get 1t will permi. the

First, the MIRA attempted to regulate business as

volume to impose its will the entire industry is
wrong fundamentally The fallacy Of regulation I'M
