STUDENTS FAIL
 TO OPEN STRIKE
High School Boys Were to Have Joined in Peace
 Plan of Nation

Attempts to have Waterbury's high school students join 8 nation wide peace demonstration at Il o'clock this morning failed com- pletely, with pupils at Crosby, Wilby and Leavenworth remaining at their studies. Acting on reports that attempts would be made to distribute handbills at the schools during recess time late this morn ing, policemen were stationed near the three institutions. but no trouble developed.
 Dr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schools, and Commis- sioner Louis Bria of the Board of Education, asked for police protec- tion at the schools when they learned that students entering the various buildings before class this morning were given handbills ask ing them to walk out" at II o'clock Later in the morning Commissions Bria bitterly attacked the hand. bills, claiming that they distorted Italy's position in the present Ethi- opian crisis and were basically com munistic in nature.
 Y. M. c. A Condemned
 Pointing to a paragraph in the handbill, which said that organ iZations such. as student councils of Y. M. and Y. w. c. As" were cooperating in, this great demon stration against war, Commissioner Bria declared: "If that's true, then many Waterbury people of Italian descent will withdraw their sup port, moral and financial, from the Y. M. c. A. intend to find out if any organizations affiliated with the Y. M. c. A. took part in this movement; if they did, l know that I for one won't ever again con- tribute to any Y. M. c. A. drive.
 Commissioner Bria sharply criti- cized the portion of the handbill which blamed Italy for the present situation in Ethiopia. He declared that the movement is undoubtedly communistic in its origin, and de- cried attempts to support peace movements by having students leave school buildings.

Forces of General DeBoil0 Went Into City Early
 This Morning
BY WEBB MILLER

Copyright, 1885, byb United Press)
 With General Ruggiero Santi's column before Makale, November 8 -(UP)-The Italian army entered in triumph into Makale today. A picked force of regular infan- try, Fascist Black Shirt militia, crack Bersaglieri and Askari native troops marched into this city this morning behind the Italian tricolor which had been lowered after a gallant defense from Fort Makale in the war of 1896.
 The Italians found Makale a small town, somewhat resembling dirty lit tie mud hutted Adigrat. Its chief building is the residence of Ras Gugsa, governor of southern Tigre province and son-in-law of Emperor Halle Selassie. The residence is surrounded by two concentric circles of mud brick walls to mark its pre- eminence.
 Makale is relay point on the old telegraph line from the frontier to spirits and ready to go on.

GEN. EMILIO DE
 BONO IN CHARGE
All Units in Italian Army Among First to Enter
 Captured Town
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY

Rome, Nov 8-Italian troops en- tered the city of Makale, objective of the second great drive into northern Ethiopia, at a. m. today Q:50 es.t.) it was announced off, cially.
 The entrance marked the official formal occupation of the chief mark of the new Italian front. . Whippet tanks, shoulder high, a machine gun nosing out from each, clanked along the ancient caravan route into the muddy town at dawn, preparing for the main body.
 Jealousy Avoided
 Because of the anxiety of the high command to avoid jealousy among the troops, a mixed column of all units was made up a few miles from the city-regulars, fascist black shirt militiamen, BerSaglieri and Askari native troops. Headed by an officer bearing an Italian flag, the column marched into the mud hut ted city.
 Communique No. 40 of the war, from Gen. Emilio De Bono, com- mander in chief in East Africa, told brefly and dramatically the story of the occupation.
 "Our flag, which was lowered Jan. 9, 1896 from Fort Makale, was unfurled again over this fort at g a. m. by attachments of, na- tional and native troops"
 The drive for Makale, on the ba- sis of the dispatches from Italian correspondents and seni-offlcia sources, was ended with the arm, at it's objective.
 New Phase of Campaign But the drive from the Setit area in the opinion of military experts marked completely new phase oi the campaign--and it is one which has been discussed frankly in Euro pean capitals as, one of political im- portance if it gets down into the Tana district, where rises the blue Nile that is the water supply for the Sudan and Egypt.

 An Important Capture
