Their central column, coming down

experienced the Italian strength, their
base at Neghelli having burned after

The Ethiopian right column, follow

The Greek navy is too small to be
of any consequence in a naval war
and Greek aviation, about 274 planes,
is considered by experts of little con.
sequence.
AS far as it is known here, the
Italian Army consists at the present
moment of 100000, outside the
250.000 Fascist Legionnaires fighting
in Ethiopia. The bulk of this force is
concentrated on the eastern borders Of
Italy, ready to meet any contingency
either from Austria or from Yugo-
slavia.
The Italian air force. believed to be
one Of the best in Europe, consists Of
between 1900 and 1000 airplanes. The
surface navy is no match for the Brit
ish, but the n submarines can be
extremely troublesome in the event Of
a conflict in the Mediterranean. Hav-
ing to operate on a comparatively
small expanse of water, between
Sicily and the Suez Canal, possessing
useful bases in the Dodecanese Islands,
on the North African coast, in Sicily
and in their home ports, they can be-
come a serious menace to all shipping
in the Eastern Mediterranean.

ENTANGL|NG PEACE
Opposes Tie-up With League

United States Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg of Michigan, in an ad-
dress broadcast here last night, as
serted, Americas primary response
bility is to maintain her own peace
first"
Senator Vandenberg declared the
Nation must minimize her exposure
to those external hazards which null
tiply in other areas cursed by con-
quests and crises with which we have
no relation"
This manifestly means" he said,
"that effective American neutrality
must be our prime pursuit If we
would avoid needless war; This
does not mean that we are too proud
to fight if national honor or ma
tional integrity require it. 1t does
mean that we shall try to be wise
enough not to expose ourselves 'to
controversies which we can honorably
avoid
Would Be Independent.
From the last great war, Senator
Vandenberg evolved three rules.
First" he said, I'VE have learned
that we cannot pursue neutrality
worthy Of the name except as 1t
be an independent American pro-
gram unrelated to the League of Ma
uons or any program dictated by DOM
inant League powers. The League acts
in response to continental political
necessities before it acts in response
to its own covenanted peace
ideals.
Second, we learned in 1914-17 that
neutrality is calculated to be counter
felt if it masks loans and credits or
the shipment of war supplies to
belligerentS. Therefore the ole
conception of neutral rights must
give way to neutral duties We
should make no loans, grant nc
credits, ship no arms, ammunition
or implements of war to any bellig-
erent. We should prohibit American
travel on belligerent ships. . I"
Urges Firm Rules.
Third, we have learned that sue
ceSsful neutrality must be reduced
to definite rules ahead of the crisis
which requires their application
When neutrality rules are changed
In the middle of crisis, there /!
inevitable implication-if not worst
that the change bespeaks sinister
favoritism rather than neutrality.
Therefore we must make our neu
trality legislation mandatory. Thi
power should not be discretionar.

ITALY CONSIDERS

Rome Says.

oy bAlO FAooOSldbS0 EIe6Ss
ROME, December 20.-A spokesman
for the Italian government said todav
that Italy still regards Great Britain
and France as bound by the Anglo
French peace plan.
He indicated that, despite Prime
Minister Baldwin's abandonment of
the proposals for ending the war in
Ethiopia, his government refused to
acknowledge that the plan is dead
until the Fascist Grand Council has
passed its verdict.
1t will meet tonight with Premier
Mussolini to frame. its reply to the
proposals.
Difficulties Considered.
Informed sources said the councillors
were taking into account the political
difficulties created by the peace pro-
posals in Great Britain and France
considered here the "sanctionist lead
ers"-before writing their long post
poned reply.
These sources asserted, however,
that II Duce and his Supreme Council
Of State would let Great Britain, which
withdrew support from the discredited
suggestions, bear the responsibility for
the death of the plan without adding
an official Italian rejection.
More Money for War.
MusSolini's government pledged an
other l,00000O,0O0 lire (about $780,
000,000) to meet contingencies arising
from the collapse of the peace project
which suggested concessions for Italy
and continuance Of the military cam
paign in Ethiopia.
II Duce decreed that this sum be
added to Italy's 1855 budget for
colonial expenditures, and to help
soldiers and their families.

The Greek naval and air forces are
too weak TO be of any use in the event
of a war in the Mediterranean, but
Greece can offer the British Navy

WARRIORS DANCE.
AFTER3-DAY FIGHT
Natives on ItaIy's Side in
BIoodiest Battle Yet Hold
Wild Celebration.

ASMARA, Eritrea, December TO-
The Mai Tinchet Valley, in the
shadows of the mountain ridges where
Italians and Ethiopians locked in the
fiercest battle of their war, reSounded
today to the wild celebrations Of 1000
Askari in dance of victory.
Over the jumbled mountain region
surrounding the embattled valley just
north Of the Takkaze River, Fascist
airnen roared, bombing the last weary
groups of the fleeing natives near
Addi Aitecheb, Addi Encieto, Dembe
Guina and Mai Tinchet itself.
OF the Ethiopians under RaS 1meru,
who fell suddenly on Italian outposts
Monday, drove the Italians up the Mai
Tinchet Valley and continued the
battle for three days until they were
trapped in Dembe Guina Pass, only
scattered segments were left. most Of
them withdrawing to the north, east
and west.
Italian officers estimated the dead
on both sides at more than 1000.
asserting the casualties were the
heaviest since the start of hostilities
almost three months ago.
Rush Through Heavy Fire.
The Ethiopians lost more than 900
killed in the desperate hand-to-hand
fighting with knives, scimitars and
bayonets on the heights and both
sides of the valley after charging
through withering machine gun fire
from the valley floor.
The Italians lost 272, Of them
white officers, 81 white soldiers and
the remainder Askari, natives of Italys
East African colony of Eritrea.
The deadliness of the fighting be-
came apparent from the negligible
wounded list, only 2 white officers and
rs Askari on the italian side being
known to have suffered any but fatal
wounds.
In the flush Of victory the Eritrean
troops celebrated in traditional fash
ion with their fantasy" victory dance
whooping and leaping around the
camp fire and brandishing their arms
The native troops, all Italian reports
said, stood splendidly under th'
heaviest pressure and the most severe
test against Ras Imeru's men, de-
scribed as well-drilled. well-com
manded and heavily armed, including
many machine guns.
Leave Weapons Behind.
When the Ethiopian cause failec
after three days of battling, due t.
the failure of flanking forces to fal

of the heights, the retreating war
riors left behind many machine guns
The temporary loss Of one Italiar

Army has advanced to meet three

Conservatives took the attitude that
as a result of the Commons debate,
no matter how embarrassing the ex-
planation might have been for Bald
win, the country also knew now why
the abandoned peace project orig
inally was approved.
The reason advanced was that
there was a lack Of cooperation be-
tween the resigned foreign secretary,
who drew up the plan with Premier
Laval, and the other members Of the
British cabinet
Such a position shall not be pos
Sible again." Baldwin assured the
Commons.
Baldwin gave no hint Of the candi-
dates under consideration for the post
vacated by Hoare, but political sources
learned the list included Sir Austen
Chamberlain.
Anthony Eden, minister for League
affairs, who emerged safely from the
controversy over the peace project,
also was considered a likely candi-
date. as was Viscount Halifax, lin
colnesque lord privy seal
The man who emerged with the
most credit from the critical foreign
policy debate, informed sources
agreed, was the "scapegoat," Sir Sam
uel Hoare.
Neville Chamberlain, winding up
the debate late last night for the
government expressed hope that Sir
Samuel would "at no long distance
be able to resume his political career -
Cheers from the ministerial benches
greeted this remark.
Parliamentary sources considered
Sir Samuel's defense Of his part in
the events Of the last fortnight was
statesmanlike speech, indicating
that under the existing circumstances,
which he described as IAN atmosphere
of war" he had to act as he did.

Questioning of Milne began at dusk
yesterday after a day in which none
but members of his family was per-
mitted to see him. G-men barred the
doors Of the hospital.
A hat and coat believed to have
been worn by Milne the day he dis
appeared from New York were found
behind school house near the spot
where he was picked up by motorists.
After examining the apparel, the
agents locked themselves in Mines
room. Later it was learned the youth

an automobile, blindfolded him and
told him:
You're going to stay with us and
keep your uouth shut, too, if you
know what's good for you"
Narcotics Injected.
Milne was quoted as saying they
slapped his face, injected narcotics into
his arm with needles, taped his eyes
and lips, trussed his arms and fed
him only once in the four days he was
held captive.
He spoke with difficulty, it was said.
Physicians warned he still is i'll from
the narcotics, shock and exposure. 1t
was said, however, that Milne was able
to give the operatives many "1eads"
and that he directed them to the
farm house.
Wrightstown farm folk said several
cars of Federal agents passed through
the town tracing and checking high
ways and lanes. They returned to
Doylestown today to resume possess
sion of the little hospital.
