 Blocked Red Sea
 Paris, October 10 - CUP) - Two writers on diplomatic affairs re- ported today in newspapers of wide ly divergent policy that Great Bri- tain will blockade the Red Sea within six weeks to isolate Italy's African expeditionary armies from their homeland.
 Both writers intimated that the foreign office and the directorate of the Suez Canal, whose headquarters are in Paris, have been unofficially warned that the blockade may be necessary to enforce League of Ma tions penalties against Italy.
 Simultaneous appearance of the efforts in the semi-Fascist echo De Paris and the left win oeuvre, gave it and appearance of authenticity. The writers were Andre Geraud Pertinax, vetrean of diplomatic correspondence for the Echo and Genevieve Tabouis, one of the con- tinent's best known correspondents on international affairs.
 Britain already has decided, Per tinax and Tabouis said, that it will be impossible to make sanctions ef- fective against Italy without CO., operation of Austria and Hungary unless the blockade is established With almost its entire navy concen- trated in the Mediterranean and the Red Seas, Great Britain is well con- ditioned to undertake 1t.
 Empress Going to Front

 It had been understood that Halle Selassie would go to the northern front to take personal command. However, the Daily Mail man said that it was not reported he would go to Harar, the important starteglc center in the east and the key to the central plateau.
 To this connection, the emperor has his most trusted military aide at the northern front in the person of Ras Kassa, who is taking big endorsements northward to the Aduwa sector.
 The Daily Mail correspondent re- ports that a number of unmarried women of Addis Ababa have bought themselves ultramarine male uni forms and high heeled sandals and are parading the streets of the capi- tai demanding that they be allowed either to guard the empress or fight with the men in the front lines The authorities, the correspondent said, may permit them to accompany troops behind the lines.
