His mission is most significant
In view of a report that Ibn Saud,
ruler of Saudi Arabia, has offered
Emperor Halle SelaSsie a large
body Of Arab troops, which the
Emperor at present is declining
in view of transport difficulties.
The mission is also connected
with importation of arms from
Arabia.
The Arabs have been anti
italian recently. An Arab ship
with a cargo of liquor destined
for the Italian front from Djibouti
failed to arrive, but went to
Arabia instead. The French gov
ernor refused to take action, since
French Somaliland is unsympa-
thetic toward the Italians.
Large numbers of Eritrean
Somalis are fleeing to French
Somaliland to escape army Serv-
ice, and the Italians are demand
ing their expulsion, but the
French governor refuses. The
French are charging Italian ships
prohibitive prices for coal.
The Italians are making fan.

The Italians have a big base at

motored. It is believed this will
be the principal base for air raids
which it is commonly believed
may begin at any moment.

 Nobody is frightened by the threat of league penalties, ap- parently.
 There is confidence that victory can be won before the league can hurt Italy severely, and that the country will retain its trade with such non-league nations as the United States, Japan, Germany and Brazil. They alone sold Italy 30 per cent of its imports and bought 2E per cent of its exports in 1884.
 The whole country was on dress parade today for the fascist holiday.
 Motor cars, busses and street cars flew the Italian tri-color and black fascist flags Of pennsnts. There was no business except for the public services.
 Four hundred airplanes, most of the mbombers, flew over the main sections of Rome in one hour demonstration of the country's air power. Sayoia-8l type bombers, car- ryinC two 800-kilogram N,763- pounds) bombs each, skinned the tops of buildings and fec along main streets. In mass formation, the planes maneuvered over Musso- linPs Palazzo Venezia and other buildings. There were similar dem- onstrations of provincial cities.

of Jijiga and Harar Saturday, bombing Daggah Bur, just across the line of jagged peaks trimming the Harar horizon. Unless Ras Nas- sibus guerilla tactics halt the Ital- ian infantry behind them within the next week it seems certain the battle expected for weeks will break in the Harar vicinity.
 Last Line of Defense Grim evidence of the determine ton of Ogaden authorities to risk everything on a climatic mass en- gagement was visible today in the tortured labor eXacted of corps of ebony peasants-old men, women, boys and irls-sweating in 8 blist- ering sun to perfect the army's last I'1ine of defense.
 The laborers worked stripped to the waist. I watched one group, carrying stones on their heads as their slave forefathers did in the days of Solomon, piling rubble along the railroad at Diredawa for possi- ply necessary emergency repairs.
 No one stopped work, even for a minute. If any one walked too slowly a hippopotamus whip in the hands of a military overseer sneak ed out to draw blood.
 I saw Ras Nassibu Saturday when he returned on 8 flying trip from the southern Ogaden front to order the last dregs of his subjects into labor and transport corps.
 Ready for the Test
 we are ready for 8 great test between Italian armaments and Ethiopian fortitude," Ras Nassibu said. we have withstood gas and machine gunning from the air.
 How we want the invaders to attempt a mass assault, to face our rifles and our cutlasses. I and our generals, including Wahib Pasha and Habte Mikael, are convinced that Gen. Rodolfo Graziana's cann- paign is doomed to failure."
 The roads leading to the front were filled again today with men tramping through clouds of dust to- ward Daggah Bur, where Italian airplanes dropped bombs Saturday.
 Nassibu planned to throw every available man around the scattered water holes of the upward rising wilderness through which Graziani's 10000 invaders must approach Ji- jia, Harar and Diredawa, and to hold each well as long as possible without serious loss of life.
 Then his main force, retreating strategically, will be lined up be-

CONNERY WILL
 RUN FOR SENATE

Lynn, Mass, Oct 28 - U.P.) - Congressman William P. Connery, Jr., of Lynn has announced his can- didacy for the U. S. senate provided Governor James M. Curley does not seek the post.
 Connery, @ democrat, is chairman of the house labor committee and Q strong supporter of the soldiers bonus and the 30-hour work week.
 Larry Connery, brother and sec retary of the congressman, said Connery Twill become candidate for the senate if the governor does not run for the job himself"
 On his return to the United States from Honolulu last week, Governor Curley told San Francisco reporters he would run again for governor or campaign for the U. s. senate, depending on party needs. Connery is former actor who left the stage to enter politics after his return from 19 months service in France with the Yankee division. He was elected to congress in 1924 at the age of 35, and has been re turned every election since then.

 the picture. As a result he has been campaigning among certain repub- licans to have the town chairman, Attorney Palomba, induced to re- open the headquarters. The latter has remained steadfastly opposed to such action.
 Failing to get Chairman Palom- ba's consent to maintain the head quarters the year round. Secretary White and others have started to form a new club, to be known as the Waterbury Republican club. George Jenkins is the present tenn porary chairman of the club. An- thony J. Worth is the temporary secretary. Edward Udelowitz is a member of the executive board of the new organization.
 New Body Organized
 Last week, although the repub- lican town committee had discon- tinued it's use of the 6. o. p. head quarters on Harrison avenue, the new White-Jenkins-Worth Udelo- witz organization held several meetings in the rooms. Today's &C., ton in placing the chain on the two doors is believed to have been taken to prevent further alleged treSpassing.
 The new club is scheduled to hold a meeting tonight and 1t was ad- yertised in this mornings Republi- can that the session would take place at republican headquarters on Harrison avenue. Pass-Keys will be no good tonight, though, with the chain and paddock on so the new club members are expected to adjourn to some place else.
 Had Used Pass Keys
 Town Chairman Palomba said today when talked with that appar- ently entrance has been gained to the discontinued headquarters by the use of pass-keys which were in use prior to the city election by various officials of the E. o. p. or ganization.
 Feeling is running high against the White-Jenkins-W Worth -Udelowitz forces, 1t is claimed, because it is believed that the formation of the new Waterbury Republican club is designed to buck" the rejuvenated Young Republican club. The Water bury Republican club officials, how ever, deny this. It is understood that the latter club is being formed to prevent, also, the busting of Adam Callan as treasurer of the town committee and MT. White as secretary of the same body.
 This afternoon the leaders of the new group were in a huddle at the office of Attorney Edward F. Sweeney. They were predicting that they would raise enough money be- fore long to pay the landlord for the use of the Harrison avenue quarters and thus cause the remov- al of the chain and paddock.

 Paris, Oct. 28-Great Britain will insist that the next stage of league penalties against Italy be imposed by mid- November and probably will propose November 15 as the effec- tive date, 1t was understood today.
 Britain has informed France, 1t is understood, that 1t would be unwise to postpone enforcement of penal- ties and as the result there has been a tacit agreement to impose them il November.
 Financial and economic experts believe that if the penalties are rig orously enforced they will give a prospect of peace negotiations be- fore the end of the year because of their effect in Italy.
 The government informed the League of Nations officially that 1t will collaborate loyally in the appli- cation of sanctions or penalties to Italy.
 It is understood that the govern ment said 1t might ask for four days notice of the actual imposition of the next penalties in order that 1t might put the machinery into operation.
 But though Laval Is committed to pursuit of penalties he will not abandon diligent efforts to settle the crisis by peaceful negotiation. He feels that he personally is the chief hope for negotiations because he has the confidence of Great Britain and Italy. Pope Pleads for Peace Vatican City, Oct. 28-(UP)- Statesmen, prelates and laymen throughout the world today studied the plea for peace broadcast by Pope Plus xI yesterday from the desk of his private library, seeking to weigh it's effect upon the hostili- ties now under way in East Africa. The pontiff's ten-minute broad- cast, delivered in Latin, was ad- dressed to the Eucharistic Congress at Lima, Peru, but was heard by Catholics in Q score of countries.
 Speaking with great emotion, he linvited "all mankind" to join in g prayer "beseeching universal peace and the practice of Christian love-
 Delivery of the plea for peace co- incided with arrival 1n Rome of re- ports from East Africa that the Italian northern army is ready for a drive southward further into Ethiopia.
 May the Almighty grant your true Christian spirit understanding and then real peace shall be spread throughout the world, especially in Europe and Africa, where peace al- ready has been upset" said the pope, "and is in danger of undergo ing even greater misfortunes. "Let there be peace and justice. Peace however, must never be gep- arated from truth and charity" The pontih exalted the virgin Rosa, Peruvian saint, describing her as the first flower of sainthocd in America"
 Diplomats Leave Rome, Oct. 28-(UP)--Afework Jesus, Ethiopian minister, left for Naples today to board the motor
 ship Vittorio for Alden, where he will trans-ship to Djibouti and go by railway to Addis Ababa.
 Thus Italy and Ethiopia are with- out diplomatic representation in each others countries. Count Luigi
 Vinci- Gigliucci, Italian minister to Ethiopia, left Addis Ababa satur- day.

 pectation that the southward drive is about to be renewed.
 A force of Fascist black shirt mill itia and native black Askari troops has prepared the way for the new thrust with an advance which was in the nature of rectincation of lines, not general advance along the entire line.
 To Take Strange Course
 My personal opinion is that the big movement will take a course which will cause 1t to follow the bulging line of an arc whose points will be at the eastern and western extremes of the present front.
 This oval movement, pointing to- ward the Takkaze river valley, is 8 maneuyer which will avoid showing out the Hanks of the army into the air. It will permit eventual absorp- ton of the Makalle region on the left wing and the country ahead of Aksum on the right wing without the danger of an out-fianking movement by the Philippians. It will also avoid a thrust directly at the mountainous regions in front of the Entiscio plateau.
 The road leading to the central area is again scene of intense &C., tivity as final preparations are made
 Columns of black shirts and As- karis are moving out over the road less country. Engineers are building roads immediate behind them and sinking wells for water. Herds of cattle are driven along for food and slaughtered as required.
 Highest of Mountains
 The advance made by Gen. Dia- manti's men was in a region of mountains which are among the highest and toughest in northern Ethiopia. The country ranges from peaks nearly 10000 feet high to the general heights of the Entiscio and Tembien plateaus of 5000 to $500 feet, cut by successive cross ranges.
 The initial advance was one of a little more than nine miles. It was the first offensive since the termi- nation of the first phase with the occupation of Adigrat, Aduwa and Aksum. The movement was a most difficult one because of the terrain.
 Sir Aldo Castellani, world author ity on tropical diseases. told me be- fore I came here from Asmara that there was less sickness among the troops in East Africa than there is in Italy.
 T have found only six cases of malaria, 18 of typhoid and no dys- entery," he told me after @ weeks sanitary inspection at the front. This is a tribute to the advanced preparations. Among the Ethiopian natives, however, there as hundreds of cases of leprosy, some of small pox and some of meningitis though there is no epidemic now. We in- tend to start leper colonies to take care of the most advanced cases.
 Use Plenty of Quinine
 "Our troops are saved by inocula- tons of plenty of quinine."
 Engineers are arriving from Italy to investigate the mineral possibili- ties of the Tigre region which is the theater of action in the north. They intend to start exploitation soon. Cold mines near Agmara, which have been closed because workers were needed for military purposes, will be reopened with slaves liberat- cd in the Tigre country who desire to leave their masters for employ ment as laborers.
 It is semi-ofiicialiy estimated that 10000 slaves have been liberated
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-28

since the Italian occupation.
 Travellers from Khartoun, in the Sudan report the largest concentra- ton of camels in Africa's history is proceeding in Eritrea. Many long caravans, each comprising hundreds of camels, the travellers said, are swinging across the broad Sudanese plain toward Eritrea.
 Obviously the camels indicate op- erations eventually on the torrid dry lowlands which form the Dan- akal region in north eastern Ethi- opia. Purchase of the camels brings thousands of camel drivers into the country.
 Ethiopian Troops Fail
 London, Oct. 28-(UP)-Ethiopian troops on the northwest front have failed in a determined effort to pen- citrate into Eritrea, the Exchange Telegraph correspondent with the Italian northern army reported to- day.
 Under cover of night, the Corre- spondent said, an Ethiopian force ttlCu SJhLuIdhy JO OiODo biO AADAitiCi near the Sudan border and was re- pulsed with an estimated loss of 100 killed and many wounded.
 The Philippians, the dispatch said, boarded rafts and tried to ford the river Setit, to attack a compara- lively small force of Italians camped on the northern bank. Italians sheltered in new system of block houses, used Verey lights to disclose the attackers, and drove them of with rife and machine gun fire.
 Penetration Goes On
 Rome, Oct. 28-(UP)-Penctration of Italian troops on the northern front into the territory immediately to the south continues without ser ious resistance, Gen. Emilio De Bono, commander-in-c of the Italian armies in East Africa, tele- graphed today.

1884 campaign, have been adjusted satisfactorily, the old age pension law will have been in effect eight months before the 1938 elections and only one minor point of argu- nnent--revision of the method of distributing minor court judgships could possibly be worked up into a 1ather.
 A campaign to take these appoint ments out of politics by establishing 8 district court system, as proposed by the judicial council, or delegate selection to the governor, might be launched but 1t would lack the drive and interest of a real battle.
 Special Session Talk
 There were strong reports the governor would call special ses- sion of the legislature around the first of the year, after the city elec- tions had been disposed of next month. Several months ago he con- sented to calling an extraordinary session on the stipulation 8 definite program first be agreed upon so as to limit the discussions and length of the session.
 Leaders of both houses have found themselves unable to whip the house into line on such issues as the sales tax, killed three times at the last session: @ program for expension of humane institutions. and participation in government so- cial security benefits
 Governor Works Quietly
 It was understood today the gov- ernor has been quietly perfecting Q program to be followed by members of his own party and which would place him in Q position of being able to make definite overtures to republicans, thereby throwing re- sponsibility for results of Q special session entirely on the republicans.
 Because the proper machinery has not been provided for, the state may lose $1,000,0O0 month in direct federal relief after Nov. IS, unless Washington alters it's method of proportioning allotments. This Is causing no little concern in the state administration, and among municipalities hard-pressed to carry relief loads even on sharing basis.
