ITALIAN PROPAGANDA
FAILING, CASTLE SAYS
Under Secretary of State Is
Speaker at Town Hall.

America is thinking too much
about war" said William R. Castle,
former under-secretary of state, IN
his Town Hall lecture at the Colum-
bia Club today.
This present outbreak need not
bring despair" he said. THE
world would have looked on cynical
ly 20 years ago, but today Italy
must excuse her actions daily, and
l1er propaganda is failing in her
own opinion as we'll as in the eyes
of the world"
Speaking of Americas position,
he said, IF we go in for neutrality
from purely selfish point of view,
We should tell the belligerents that
we would sell them anything they
wanted if they would come for it
in their own ships and carry it
away.
"A successful foreign policy, our
own included, must be based on en-
lightened self-interest. We must
defend our rights and our interests
at least any which are worth pre-
serving"

Some persons still think this was
great mistake, especially around
this time of the year when it is
matter of breathless Importance
that we all know what kind of
winter we're going to have.
All OF those signs have been pre-
served carefully by the Indiana
State Library, and it's not a bit too
early to be bringing them out so
every one can settle, according to
his own tastes in superstition, what
to expect from this winter.
Our forefathers put explicit faith
in the adage that a hard winter is
sure to come if animals have heavy
coats of fur, and that if cat sits
with its back to the fire, cold
weather will follow.
If the wind comes down the CHM
ney the weather will be very cold,
and when a large number of tum-
BILE bugs are seen in the fall the
winter will be hard.
Thunder as Sign
just as many foggy mornings as
there are in January, there will be
as. frosty mornings in May, and on
the same days. Moreover, if it
thunders in February the goose
eggs won't hatch. There vii, be
as many SHOWS in the winter as
there are rains in August.
If it thunderS in December there
will be cold weather, and butterflies
in the fall are the sign of the same.
Not to mention the fact that if
dog howlS at the moon you may ex-
pect snow.
If your frost-bitten feet itch, it
will snow, and if a fruit tree blooms
twice in the year a hard winter is
in order. If the fire signs there
will be cold weather; if it splits there
will be snow, and if it crackles with
a fluffy sound there will be a cold
snap.
Many Grapes Mean Cold
If frost hangs on the timber late
IN the morning, snow may be eX-
pected, and if the gate keeps slam
ming there will be cold weather. A
heavy grape crop forecasts a hard
winter. If mule looks toward the
north there is bound to be cold
wave. If geese fly low the winter
will be mild and if they fly high it
will be hard
If grasshopper is seen dancing
there will be rain within three days,
and 80 days after the first katydid
is heard there will be frost. When
pigs squeal there will be cold
spell. If the nut crop is heavy the
winter will be tough, and if the
squirrels gather them, more of the
same.
There will be cold weather when
hogs begin to build their beds, but
when peacocks cry a great deal in
the winter the cold weather is
about over.
This gives you general idea of
how to get the weather low down
keep an eye on the eye of the dom
key and forget the weather maps.
You probably couldn't understand
them, ANYWAY.

Await Fall of MakaIe
BY WEBB MILLER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY,
Nov. italian soldiers on the
northern front are singing the
equivalent of the American World
War song where do we go from
here" as they await the word to oc-
cupv Makale, their next objective.
Their morale and physical condi-
ton are excellent after nearly
months work of consolidating and
terrifying their positions on the
AduWa front. 1t was not rest pc
Rod.
The soldiers hope to get an answer
to the question in their song soon.
Roads in the rear of the front
area are hung with a mile-high
curtain of dust from moving
columns and motor trucks.
Road Built by Selassie
Italy's occupation of Makale, so
miles south of Adigrat, will be of
tremendous Importance because it
will place the army within striking
distance Of the only important high
way which joins the Tigre country
to Adds Ababa.
This road ironically enough was
constructed by Emperor Halle Sc
lassie and it may be an important
factor in his downfall if the italians
decide to move over it toward Adds
Ababa.
The road extends about $50 miles
into Adds Ababa from MaiCio,
which is about II miles north of
Lake AShangi and about so miles
south of Makale.
The road is 80 feet wide most of
the way, wide enough for three lines
of traffic. 1t is constructed of baked
soil and is one of five roads in all
Ethiopia which can be used by mo-
tor traffic even in the dry season.
Tanks Highly Useful
Once the italians reach the be-
ginning Of the Adds Ababa road
there may be developed the entire
~ new phase of mechanical warfare
which has been mentioned-uSe of
midget tanks, shoulder high, dash
ing deeply into the heart of en-
envy territory toward Adds Ababa
Aside from digging elephant traps
in the roads the Philippians can do
almost nothing against these fleet
armored machines. The Philippians
already have tried digging holes
and covering them lightly with
soil In an effort to trap tanks, but
this failed because the wrong
places were selected and the crews
perceived the traps.
Army officers are confident that
the tanks will show great useful
1less, since they are able to go in
hiliy country where even mules
have difficulty. to dispense small
concentrati0.ls of the enemy. They
also can direct reconnaissance and
bombing planes by signal.

SESSION

OF GOVERNOR
MCNutt Aids Are Reported
Watching Activities

BY JAMES DOSS
Times stan Writer

If the special session of the Legis-
lature is held in December, it ao-
peared likely today that the state
administration slogan will be Get
the boys out of the Statehouse by
Christmas
With this in view, administration
leaders are reported obtaining vari-
Gus commitments to consider only
a set program whether the session
is held in December or January.
The administration is said to
look with trepidation on the adj
vance activities of three big Hobbies.
which will present demands if the
special session is called primarily
for lining up Indiaa with the Fed
eral Social Security Act.
Three Hobbies Very Active
These three big Hobbies are the
liquor, sales tax and $3.50 tax limi-
tation groups. There will be minor
groups represented, too. but these
three are expected to be the most
insiStent.
want elimination of the emergency
clause that voids the act-always is
active. The liquor interests want
several provisions of the liquor act
changed and the sales tax propon-
ents want that revenue form substi-
suited for the gross income tax
law.
They are laying plans now in
view of the apparent inevitability Of
a special session. The Governor per-
sistently has remained silent on
the possibilities of a session, but
has indicated in guarded state
ments that the Social Security
Board may not look with favor on
the Indiana old-age pension law IN
its present form.
Reports Differ Oil Dates
Chief obstacles to Federal accept
ance of the Indiana law are the long
residence requirement and absence
of right of appeal in pension re-
jections.
The national security board is
functloning somewhat haphazardly
because of lack of funds, but the
board appropriation is scheduled for
inclusion in the first deficiency ap-
preparation when congress recon-
venes.
Political Mischief Feared
Although special session can run
40 days under the State Consti5u-
ton, most political observers be-
lieve Gov. McNutt and his adj
visers would prefer one that would
get the social security legislation
out of the way and speedily be adj
journed.
This reported desire is said to be
actuated by motives of economy and
fear of the political mischief that
might be done if the legislators stay
the longest possible time.

MEXICAN CONFLICT
ENTERS CONGRESS
Higgins to Ask Withdrawal
of Recognition and DAN
ieIs' 0usting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The controversy over religion and
education in Mexico registered a new
reverberation here today with Repre-
sentative Higgins, Democrat, of
Massachusetts,, asserting he would
offer Congress resolution demand
ing that the United States withdraw
recognition from Mexico and remove
Ambassador Josephus Daniels from
the diplomatic corps
Previously, Representative Higgins
had written President Roosevelt ask
ing that protest be sent to Mexico
against the closing of Catholic schools
and the expulsion of priests. Ambas-
sador Daniels, the legislator contended
today, should be removed because "he
was cognizant of what was happening
yet made no protest"
Replying to the letter, Secretary Of
State Hull said:
Notwithstanding the well settled
policies and views respecting religious
worship and practices that obtain in
this country, I know you understand
that other nations are recognized as
being entitled to regulate for them
selves their internal religious condi-
tions in such manner as they may
deem proper and that, accordingly, it
is not within the province of this
Government to intervene in the situa-
ton in Mexico to which you refer.
"Tfe procedure you suggest would be
tantamount to an effort to determine
the course to be taken by another
nation, and would almost certainly
provoke such resentment as to defeat
the purpose which you wish to
achieve"
Daniels has been criticized BY sew
eral Catholic groups for speech some
months ago in which he quoted Gen.
Plutarco Elias Gales on the subject Of
education. Catholic periodicals as
serted Daniels gave comfort to the
enemies Of religion in Mexico" by
publicly indorsing campaign Of so.
