 Geneva, November 12 = (UP) = Premier Benito Mussolini's own list of penalties" against League of aNtions members and his note protesting against enforcement of league penalties will have no effect on the Geneva program, it was indi- cated today.
 Products which league members control are on the list to be denied Italy next Monday anyway, so Mus solini's provision for special hcens- ing = so that he can trade with non-league nations when possible - will not be effective as regards them.
 It was anticipated that Italy would not be likely to favor league nations with orders for such goods as she can obtain from countries that are not cooperating with the league in its penal action for Italy's war on Ethiopia.
 No Effect on League
 As regards Italy's note of pro- test against her penalization, league circles pointed out that it's arguments, as outlined in Washing ton and elsewhere, were repetition of the argument made before the league assembly and council by Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italy's chief league delegate. This argument had no effect on the league.
 The leagues denial to Italy of se- lected key products, and its boycott of Italian goods, will be imposed automatically next Monday.
 There are to be minor exemptions in special cases, but they will have no effect on the general penaliza- ton.
 Four Columns Advance
 Rome, Nov. 12 = (U.P.) = Four strong columns of Italian and na- tive troops are advancing toward the Takkaze river valley to the west of Makale to complete the new Ma kale- -Takkaze line on the northern front in Ethiopia, General Emilio De Bono, commander in chief in East Africa, said in communique to-day.
 The troops have occupied Ad-Nev- rid in the wild Adj Abo region, De Bono said.
 The Danakil column, proceeding east of Makale along the edge of the desert region, is proceeding toward the Dessa zone, De Bono said, and has occupied Azbi.
 In the Makale region, the com munique said, the work of consoli- dation is continuing swiftly and de- tachments are patrolling territory beyond Doghea Pass and the Dan- dera Torrent.
 Reports About Gas
 Asmara, Eritrea, Nov. 12-(UP)- A report relayed by official quarters said to-day that a ship had passed through the Suez Canal bearing Yperite gas for Ethiopia.
 Rome, Nov. 12-(U.P)-A news paper dispatch from Asmara re- ported to-day that a large consign- ment of "Yost" liquid, a chlorine ethyl compound considered one of the most dangerous gases, had been landed at Djibouti, French Somali- land and was en route to the Ethio- plan Plateau.
 Yperite gas is mustard gas or di- chlorethyl sulphide, perhaps the most dreaded gas used in the world war because of its burning power. There are several chlorine ethyl gases, both of the lung irritant and the tear-sneezing- -nauseating types.
