There also was possibility new

Announcement of the military
moves was timed to coincide with
the apparent indecision of League

an oil embargo against Italy. The
Leagues general staff" on sane

sine die a previously scheduled
meeting to clamp down the oil

Speeding Up Seen
- Italy, apparently, wants to i'm
press the powers with the gravity
Of the crisis which would follow
such q penalty by revealing her
self ready to fight more than
Ethiopia to attain her aims.
The campaign against Ethiopia,
which has been progressing slowly
OF late, was expected to be Speeded
UP Immediately, possibly tomor-
row, as a result of Marshal Pietro
Badoglio's arrival at MaSSaua,
Eritrea, today.
Marshal Badoglio, Italian chief
Of staff, will take over immediate
supreme command of the Ethio-
plan war, and is slated to hasten
action on all fronts aiming at a
quick conclusion of the campaign.
"I start work Immediately,
Marshal Badoglio was quoted as
saying upon his arrival in East
Africa. Tomorrow I shall be at
the front line"
With this shift in command
Marshal Emilio de Bono, re-
placed, will return to Italy-there
ends the purely political phase of
the war, conducted by de Bono,
a Fascist veteran, to avenge old
italian defeats at historic North.

Thus Italy entered a grave
period OF direct military action in
East Africa and of ominous diplo-
matte warfare in Europe. No one
would venture to predict the ulti-
mate outcome. Everyone was
aware that every step must be
taken with great caution.

Threatened Moves to Aid
Nazis Endanger Egypt

LONDON, Nov. % O.N.SO.
The tide of international tension
rose again today in foaning fury
as the threatened oil embargo
against Italy, although deferred,
had the opposite effect of the
rhetorical "oil on troubled
waters"
Diplomatic circles took a grave
view of what was considered an
indirect warning by Italy of the
possibly serious consequences of
further cutting off Italy's raw
materials, essential to prosecution
Of the Ethiopian campaign.
Egypt Threatened
This warning" took the form
Of suspension of agricultural
furloughs" recently granted to
100000 Italian soldiers, and an.
nouncement of certain troop
movements" unspecified, but in
evident preparation for any EN-
ergency.
Strengthening of Italian forces
near Egypt, due to Britain's
failure to withdraw any ships
from the Mediterranean after
Italy recalled $4,000 men from
Libya, may be one of the "move-
ments," it was suggested here.
The Daily Express said today
that $4,000 men, comprising three
mechanical divisions, had been
called from the Brenner pass to
Southern Italy, for possible Afri,
can service.
This was interpreted as a warn
ing to France that, if she backs
further sanctions, Italy will no
longer be responsible for safe
guarding Austria against a Nazi
putsch.
Drive Checked
The war situation in Ethiopia
was reported in London also to be
a source of anxiety to Premier
Benito MuSSolini.
Italy has countered Ethiopian
claims of major victories with an
nouncements of similar successes,
yet reports from Ethiopia persist
to the effect that the Italian
drive has been largely checked.
The Daily Telegraph's Adds

peror Halle Selassie, after long
conference with his high military
command, decided vigorously to

successes on both fronts"
The meeting was attended BY
iBedjurond Tecle Hawariat, former
Ethiopian minister to Paris and
the man who presented his coun'
try's case VIGOROUSLY before the
League of Nations, and Hawariat
afterwards denied italian reports
that rains had slowed up progress
on the southeastern front.
Malaria, undoubtedly rampant
among the Italians, was a con
tributing factor to the forced
abandonment Of Gorrahei and
Gerlogubi," Hawariat was quoted
by the Telegraph as saying.
Retreat Predicted
''We are quite sure we can hold
off the Italians until seasonal
rains are renewed in May and
June. The Italians then will have
to give up all the territory they
hold in AbySsinia."
Hawariat is believed by the
Telegraph's correspondent to be
planning to go with the Emperor
to DeSSye, north of Adds Ababa,
within a week.
The British cabinet will hold
a special meeting tomorrow to con.
slider further the oil embargo after
the crucial opening session Of the
French Parliament.
