canal nor declare e blockade against Italy without the cooperation of other league nations in penalty for Italy's campaign in Ethiopia.
 It is expected that the com- muniQue will be completed by an Italian statement expressing grati- fication at Britain's reafhrmation of its determination to take no sep- arate action.
 Though officials refused confirma- ton, it was believed that the com- munique would be complemented by 8 statement of Britain's intention to reduce its naval forces sinlul- taneously with Italy's agreement to withdraw some of its forces from Libya.
 This action would link with a promise by France to replace some British ships in the Mediterranean eff necessary"
 Approved Last Night
 It is understood that the text of the British statement was ap- proved last night after a long tele- phone conversation between Sir Eric Drummond, British ambassa- dor, and the British foreign ofnce.
 The communique probably will be agreed on by Italy and Britain to- night, and issued for publication in morning newspapers.
 The communiQue, is the result Of negotiations by Drummond, Pre- mier Benito Mussolini and Count Charles De Chambrun, French an- bassador. It is expected to mark the end of weeks of tension due to Britain's gigantic fleet concentra- ton and Italy's dispatch of three divisions of regular to Libya.
 It is hoped here that negotia- tionS by Premier Benito Mussolini, Sir Eric Drummond, British am- bassador, and Count Charles De Chambru, French ambassador, m ay permit public declaration which will mark the end of weeks of ten- sion due to Great Britain's gigantic fleet concentration and Italy's dis patch of three divisions of regulars to Libya, adjoining Egypt and the Sudan.
 First COmmunlque
 A conference yesterday between Mussolini and Drummond was fol- lowed by one between Drummond and Chambrun. In the end this un- informative communique was is- sued:
 Conversations between Paris and Rome and between Paris and Lon- don are going on through normal diplomatic channels. There is noth- ing specific at tlfe moment but the fact that these conversations are continuing shows that the doors have not been closed"
 It seemed that doors already closed had been reopened, how evty, ana that there was 8 chance they would remain open.
 It was hoped that today there might be solidified an agreement that Italy would diminish the num- ber of its troops in Libya and Brit ain would reduce the size of its fleDt in the Mediterranean. There may be arguments abroad

Ethiopian commanders declare. In the south the troops led by Gen. Rodolfo Graziani launched assaults on the right flank of the Ethiopian forces, necessitating reformation of the defense forces. It has not been revealed where this action occurred. except that 1t was at some point between Jijiga and Sassavani.
 The aerial attacks along the entire length of the eastern and southern fronts continue.
 There are indications that the leaders of the three invading Ital- ian columns-eperating from Assab and points on the Italian Somaliland frontier-are making efforts to con- verge at some meeting place known only to the Italian general staff. When this junction has been effect ed-If 1t is ever effected-military strategy demands that @ single column lead the advance.
 Could Be Speeded.
 The Italian offensive could be speeded up, some observers here be- lieve. except for the tine-tested rule forbidding division of forces operat- ing in hostile territory. It is for this reason that the three Italian com- manders responsible for penetration from the frontier must move closer together the further they get from their bases.
 While this movement goes on news of fighting and casualties is meager here. The exact whereabouts of de- lending and invading troops cannot be learned in detail either from of- f1cial or unofficial sources. The Ethiopian commandes insist that I must wait here for the front to come to me instead of trying to locate it on my own.

or ruler, of the province now, by Italian government proclamation, but ca nexercise smal lauthority until the province is occupied.
 Despite reports abroad from Addis Ababa that nearly 250,00O Philippians under Ras Siyoum gre hidden in the valleys south of Aduwa and may plan desperate attack. Airplane scouts found no force of size for 200 miles in the path of the projected Italian drive.
 Military experts believed General Emilio De Bono, commander of the northern expeditionary force, and General Pietro Badoglio, chief of the army staff, hoped to smash their front lines south from Aksum, Aduwa, Adigrat and Entiscio almost to Dessye. The next stopping place after that would be Addis Ababa or DiredaWa.
 Engineers worked on a 24-hour schedule under protection of heavy patrols to make trails for beyond the lines passable to tanks and trucks and to improve or purify water holes.
 It is believed here that Ras Ciy- cum, upon whom Halle Selassie pins his hopes of stopping the Italian in- vasion at the edge of the central plateau, has concentrated his main forces at Dessye. If that is true, Makale, main point on one of the countrys most important caravan routes and head of the disabled Italian owned telegraph line to Addis Ababa, might fall easy prey. If De Bno succeeds in conquer ing Tigre Province, he will control more than 50,000 square miles of territory. Most of Tigre is either burning desert below sea level or mountain chains valued only as prospectiv mineral sources, but Ital- ian newspapers are enthusiastic over the possibilities of coloniza- ton.

short time. Operators in the Vest ern Union office worked on, though widec racks appeared in the build ing and for while it was feared It would collapse. The office was swamped with messages of inquiry from all parts of the country.
 The Helena city engineer made a six-hour survey of the city and es- timated the damage at $1,000,000.
 Factory Stacks Topple
 Two stacks of the East Helena smelter were toppled. Numerous residences were almost entirely deS- troyed.
 The H. Earl Clack oil Company building was 8 total loss. The brick walls collapsed, leaving the metal roof resting on the top of a North ern Pacific bus and several pas senger autopaobiles.
 The walls of several residences were peeled away, leaving furnish ings intact.
 In one building carload of whisky, TOO cases, was crushed un" der a 27-inch warehouse front.
 Guards patrolled the stricken area to prevent footing.
 Hospital Evacuated
 The government hospital at Fort Harrison. two and half miles west of Helena, was evacuated, the buildings being considered unsafe. Some l50 patients were sleeping in the open on improvised cots.
 The St. Johns hospital here was damaged. One nurse was injured dangerously when she rushed from the building in a rain of dislodged bricks.
 There were six separate quakes last night, two of approximately Q minutes duration in the main shock and four less sever ones sub- etslneuqy
 sequently. Prof. Harold w. Scott, assistarit professor of geology at the Mon- tana School of Mines. Butte, said the disturbance occurred along a fracture" probably from one to five miles deep. One surface crack half way between Great Falls and Helena was reported. Several mines in the affected area were considered unsafe for work. The Spring Hill gold mine three miles from Helena, was evac- uAted.
 An buildings in East Helena were evacuated.

HELENA IS'SHAKEN
 AGAIN TODAY

the chart and the instrument, there- fore, did not register the full in- tensity.
 Lighting, Power Broken
 All lighting and power lines were broken and were not restored until early today. Parties were immedi- ately organized to search wreckage for bodies. A first survey showed severe damage to the Western Union building, which showed great cracks in its walls. The Helena high school was severely damaged, as was the plant of the National Biscuit Co.
 The one person known dead was Dave Miner, negro. Walking along a Helena street at the instant of the quake, he was buried beneath the brick and mortar of collap- sing building.
 The state capitol wtthstood the shock with no apparent damage. The buildings dome is of copper and is extremely heavy.
 The known injured, amounting to approximately 20, were treated at the hospital and almost all were discharged. Their injuries were mostly bruises and cuts caused by falling debris. A number of others were hit but not sufficiently hurt to require treatment.
 Fragmentary reports from other western Montana towns indicated the quake was felt severely from Billings, in the center of the state, to Spokane, Wash, just across the state line. It was not believed that damage anywhere outside of Hele- ma, which apparently was the epi- center, would prove to be exten- sive. No other community reported deaths or serious injuries.
 25 Buildings Shaken
 Approximately 25 business build ings were shaken down or damaged in Helena and a high percentage of plate glass windows was broken. The fact that the business district lies low in gulch was believed to have saved it from more serious damage. Approximately 25 homes were wrecked.
 The severe shock, following less severe one by IS minutes, struck Helena at 9:47 p. m. Q1:47 EST0 last night. Panic seized the town of 14,OOO, spreading like wild-flre. Two theaters were emptied in 8 flash, the pleasure seekers running into the streets, screaming and cry- ing.
 Long strings of motor cars, driv- en by nervous drivers at high speeds carried women and children to fields outside the city where they remained all through the night. Authorities organized citi- zens into searching parties that went through the residential and business districts, seeking injured and dead.
 In the first hour of panic rumors increased the fright of citizens who still felt the earth trembling be- meath them. Several runors said fires had broken out and the city was burning, but only two fires, both small, broke out. They were quickly extinguished.
 High School Badly Hit
 The National Biscuit company plant no longer was used for man. ufacturing but as Q warehouse. A four -story structure, 1t was de- molished. Damage to the newly completed high school was esti- mated at e500,0OO. Part of its walls collapsed and most of it's partitians and furnishings were ruined. An elementary school also w1s exten- sively damaged.
 Telegraph and telephone serv- ices were disorganized for only q

 Djibouti, French Somaliland, Oc- tober 19 - (UP) - A new Italian drive on the northern Ethiopian front, only 8 few hours distant, ac- cording to reports here, may preci- pitate the battle for which the world has been waiting, reliable word from Addis Ababa said today.
 An attack by the 180,000 Italians under General Emilio De Bono around Aksum and Aduwa may meet head-on a force claimed to number more than 500,00O under the veter- an fighter, Ras Siyoum. Credible reports from well informed quarters in Addis Ababa said that if De Bono delays Ras Siyoum and a new gen. eral staff organized to aid him may order an attack.

NELSON ISLAND SUPERVISOR
 EXECUTE TO TRIP IN STATES

A M. Sprunger, government in structor and manager of a coop eratiYe store on Nelson island, and practically the king of the famous Boring Sea island settlement. ar rived in Anchorage by plane re- gently after a flight of hundreds of miles from his isolated home. He is on the way to Seattle. Mir. Sprun- ger came with Pilot Ray Peterson of the Marsh Airways. touching at Bethel. Crooked and McGrath on the way in.
 MT. Sprunger has been at Nelson island the last five years. He and Mrs. Sprunger are the only whites on the island. while there are fully 500 natives-all Eskimos-165 of whom live at the village of Tunu- nak where the government school is located, and MT. and Mrs. Sprun- ger make their home.
 Baskatmaking an Industry
 Everyone is in a comparatively healthy state on the island, re- ports MT. Sprunger, "and the na- tiyes have been as busy as usual. Their chief occupation is fishing, hunting seal, and trapping and herding reindeer and making bas- kets of the native weed. The de- mand for baskets has kept many of them busy and is such that it has been impossible to fill all orders from Outside sources. The natives make beautiful baskets, and are world famed by admirers of such work. The Eskimos of Nelson is land also are wonderful ivory car vers and workers, but there is no demand now for that line of pro- ducts, and much of their old stock is on hand and finds no market
 "The reindeer which were intro duced on the island over a year ago are a marked success, and are carefully guarded by herders. Otherwise they might run away and escape to the mainland Only a narrow strip of water, like small river, separates the island from the mainland.
