LAVAL ASKING
BRITISH FLEET
.BEWITHDRAWN
Says Quitting Mediterrane.
an Would Promote Peace
Settlement
BRIT0NS LET UP ON
SANCTIONS 10 DAYS

ROME, Oct. 15.-UP)-The
Italian general staff has secretely
sent another army division num-
, bering 1900 men and several
bombing squadrons to Italian Lib
va, bordering on Egypt, it was
learned here today on unimpeach-
able authority.
PARIS, Oct. Is. (UP)-Premi-
er Pierre Laval has asked Great
Britain to withdraw her home
fleet ships from the Mediterra-
mean sea as a gesture to enable
him to seek a peaceable settle
ment of the Italo-Ethiopian crisis,
an official source said today.
A new effort to end the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict was launched
early today when Premier Pierre
Laval conferred successfully with
British Ambassador Sir George
Clerk, Italian Ambassador Vittor-
10 Cerutti and Papal Nuncio Luigi
Maglione.
Laval repeatedly is awaiting
Premier Benito Mussolini's out
line of the minimum Italy will ac-
cept in the way of concessions
justifying the cessation Of hostil-
tiles.
The statement expected from
Mussolini is believed to be in re-
Spouse to an urgent plea sent to
Rome by Laval.
Meanwhile, Great Britain re-
portedly agreed not to press more
severe sanctions against Italy for
ten days.
1t was believed Pope Plus had
been urged by Papal Nuncio Mag
lone to bring pressure on Musso-
lini to accept a peaceful solution
of the Ethiopian conflict.

MUSSOLINI MAY ACHIEVE AIM
BEFORE LEAGUE CAN CURB HIM
League Moves Slowly; England Not To Act Alone; Not
es-r, x.sa- Likely To Close Suez Canal ~.
BY BOYD LEWIS
Copyright 1885, United Press)

! An impression is growing that
despite the Leagues best efforts,
nothing less than intervention of
the British navy at the Suez canal
will be a sufficient penalty to
curb Benito Mussolini's East At
rican ambitions.
Already the French press has
been censured by Premier Pierre
Laval for being so impolitic as to
suggest such a thing. Laval wants
to tread lightly and face such
critical decisions only when fore
ed to.
Nevertheless it is indicated in
Geneva that Italy can hold out
against financial sanctions for at
least IL or 13 months. Financial
authorities believe Italy can draw
against gold and foreign ex-
change to the extent of approx
mately $650,000,000. Italian i'm
ports were maintained during
1884 at an average of $55,425,-
$50 a month.
Of course no such protracted
test is likely. The chief problem
Of League penalizers is not so
much the length of time Italy can
hold out as it is getting the ma
chinery of sanctions into potent
action within the next two or
three months.
Mussolini obviously doesn't in
tend to conduct a lengthy cam
paign. Within perhaps eight or
ten months another rainy season
will be upon Ethiopia and the
cost of Italian lives to maintain
war lines throughout that season
would be terrific.
Hence the question becomes:
"Can the League seriously ham,
per Italy before Italian troops
have attained their Ethiopian OBJ
jectives?"
With this in mind, Captain R.
Anthony Eden of Britain sue
ceeded Monday in having the
League adopt resolution calling
upon all members to enforce &C
tons if possible by October 81.
But supposing October 81 finds
| the League still in a state of dis
organization and unable to bring
effective force against Fascism
There was no good reason today
to suppose coordinated action
could be achieved in that short
span of time. Half of France op-
poses sanctions and is definitely
anti-British. Argentina is backing
away politely because of its large
Italian population. Austria, Hun
gary and Albania are avowedly
unable to cooperate with their
dear friend, Italy. Switzerland is
reluctant.
The British say over and over
that they won't act alone against
Italy. Nevertheless, they soon may
face the choice of thrusting their
navy between Italy and East At
RIGA or witnessing the failure OF
League force and prestige.
1t is becoming increasingly OBJ
vious that Italians view their eco
nomic war not as with the League
but as with Britain. They feel that
Britain is attempting to keep in
peace the colonial spoils she gain
ed by war. Already the italian
people have begun voluntary,
unofficial boycott of British
goods. ----i

NEW GAS USED In
|ATTACK IN SOUTH

LONDON, Oct. Is. (UP).-The
Daily Mails Djibouti correspond
ent today reported that European
engineers working in Ogaden pro-
vince, Ethiopia, Informed him by
telephone that $4,000 Philippians
have been killed in desperate bat
ties in the Gerlogubi district.
A bloody battle with advancing
Italian columns from the south
occurred Saturday, the report
said. At Darar alone, the dispatch
said, 1000 Philippians, including
many civilions, were killed.
Exchange Telegraph said an
Italian air squadron bombed Eth
opian troops Monday afternoon az
the black soldiers marched south
ward to meet the invaders. Heavy
casualties were claimed.
The Djibouti correspondent OF
the Daily Mail said the engineers
revealed use of a new poison gas
by the Italians. Nearly 200 ltal-
ian fighting and bombing planes
supported the advance of General
Graziani's troops, the dispatch
said, spreading death and terror
through the trackless desert coun-
try.
1t was asserted thousands Of
Ethiopian survivors were pouring
back northward in headlong flight,
choking to death from poison gas
and that no concentration OF
troops or any town in the area had
escaped.
Daror is 100 miles northwest of
Ualual, near the Italian border,
and about 40 miles west of the
border of British Somaliland. 1t
is about halfway between the
Italian colony in the south and j.
jiga, where large forces of Eth
opians are concentrated and to-
ward which the Italian southern
army is driving.
The engineers declared gas and
high explosive bombs ranging
from rs to 100 pounds in size
rained from the sky and demol-
ished seven Moslem mosques in
Daror. Close behind the airplancl
came tanks belching liquid fire,
shells from quick-fring small ar
tillery and hail of machine-gun
bullets.
Vast reserves of Philippians are
concentrated in the Jijiga-Hara'-
Tomsa area, the dispatch said, es-
timated at more than 100000
men. They are under strict orders
from Emperor Halle Selassie to
defend only the edge of the up
land plateau, and have with them
foreign military advisers such as
Turkish General, Wemb, Pasha,
German General Won Loeben and
Germano-Turkish General Radir
Pasha.
Swiss engineers working near
the Webbe Shibeli river reported
that a second big Ethiopian army
of between 10000 and 100000
men had crossed the network OF
streams constituting the headwa-
tiers of the Juba river and was
hurrying toward the Shibeli area
with the idea of entering Italian
Somaliland and cutting the COM
munications of Graziani's invad-
ing columns.
The engineers said that General
Emilio de Bono, Italian command
er of all Ethiopian forces, had
made a dramatic dash BY air from
Eritrea on the northern border
last Wednesday, over hundreds of
miles Of enemy territory, and had
conferred with General Graziani
at his advanced forward base.
General De Bono approved Grail

Although arriving too late to pre-

present the first matinee of its two
day visit.
Originally scheduled to arrive

Police, at noon, announced can

Early this afternoon Capt. Otto

Cancellation of the parade today

IN tell you how we can keep out

The resolution would authorize

principle of the covenant.
2. That the United States should
be specifically exempted from any
action involving use of armed forces
in prevention Of war. and that only
the United States government
