 Vatican City Editorial
 Vatican City, Nov. l.-(UP)--An editorial in tomorrow's issue of the Civita Cattolica, regarded generally as the most authoritative of Roman Catholic Publications, will urge that Italy be granted e man. date over Ethiopia, 1t was under stood today.
 Since It's foundation in 1e4o, Civ ita Cattolica's editorials have been written under the inspiration of the popes, and Pope Plus xI is said to read It's proofs himself before 1t goes to press.
 The editorial as written, 1t was understood, argues that the League of Nations ought to hesitate any lnoger to grant Italy c mandate over Ethiopia if 1t desires to prevent serious repercussions In Europe and perhaps the world.
 It argues that Italy Is entitled to c mandate, if not as c matter of strict moral justice, because 1t re ceived nothing in the distribution of mandates among other powers ct the end of the World war. Tn its concluding portion the edi- torial urges Roman Catholics in France and Great Britain to seek broader understanding of Italy's necessity.
 Because of the .publication's au- thority, of the fact that 1t Is under the direction of pontiflcal college of Jesuit fathers, of its intimate as- sociation with the pope, the edito- rial was linked ct once with the ac- tlvities of Monsignor Luigi Magli- one, papal iauncio ct Paris. Msgr. Maglione has conferred frequently in past weeks with Premier Pierre Laval, in turn with ambassadors of major powers. Ethiopia has in- dicated that 1t might consent to Q mandate under the league; hence Q suggestion for one would pre-sup- pose concessions by Italy and Ethi-
 opia both.
 Two Attacks Made
 Addis, Ababa, Nov. i-(UP)-As- SO Imaira warriors have made two attacks on Italian attachments In
 the wild Danakil desert region in eastern Ethiopia, 1t was asserted of- ficially today.
 Fifteen Italians were killed in the first attack, 1t was said, when. the fierce tribesmen attacked Q supply train near the Italian base ct Mt. Mussa Ali.
 A second attack was made next night on e column of infantry, ar- tillery and tanks moving westward of Mt. Mussa Ali.
 It was reported that the Italians sought to establish an air base in the desert probably in the Alalag- hera area west northwest of Mt. Mussa All.
 The Italians apparently are mov- ing from Mt. Mussa Ali to establish Q base further west because they were forced to trace route within 200 feet of French somaliland, and an incident was feared. Angel of Mons Harar, Ethiopia, Oct. Si--(De-
 layed)-(UP)-Ethiopian warriors have their own counterparts of the Angel of Mons of the World war to inspire them to victory. A thousand troops under DeoJaz- match Abte, governor ot Aussi, passed through Harar asserting that they saw a miraculous display ot lights in the southern sky-blood red on the south, yellow in the east and green on the west. The colors are those of the Ethiopian flag. The warriors said clouds-rare at this time of year--formed Q perfect Coptic Christian cross which priests told the troops mean that God was with them. An example of the courage and fortitude of Ethiopian warriors was provided today by Q soldier, pune tured by machine gun bullet, who walked l25 miles from Gorrahei to Daggah Bur and then, after emer- gency treatment, was sent to hos- pital at Jijiga.
 London, Nov. 1--(UP)--Renewed hardening of Britain's attitude Of disapproval toward Mussolini's African adventure was expected today following Ttaly's uncomprom- ising demand for settlement of the dispute on its own terms. England's mood, which during the past few days appeared to ne relenting, has been obviously stit- fened again by the following maai- festations of 1taly's unbending de- fiance of world opinion.
