SCHOOL PUPILS
 WERE EXCLUDED

Saugus, Mass, Oct. 24-(UP)- Seven pupils have been excluded from Saugus schools for their re- fusal to salute the flag.
 All are members of Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious sect which holds that patriotism interferes with primary allegiance to God.
 The exclusion action was taken last night by the Saugus school committee. Cafe was taken to avoid the word "expep in the mo- ton. The children will be readmit- ted if they consent to salute the flag and take the pledge of alle- glance.
 Parents of the children were not present. They sent message to the comimttee explaining it would be a great injury to them if they compelled their children to salute the flag against their conscience. They felt their presence at the meeting would do no good.
 Pupils excluded were Costa, Con- stance, Philemon and Philip Nit chell, Fred and Shirley Gbtt, and Barbara Henderson.
 Similar action was taken last fortnight against 8 Lynn school student.
 The law requiring pupils to sa- lute the flag and all teachers to take the oath of allegiance was passed by the last legislature.

CONFERENCE MAY
 HELP NAUCATUCK
Town Placed in Semi=Ur- ban Classification Re-
 garding PWA Wages

Naugatuck, Oct. 24.-Warden Uohn J. Sheridan today believes Naugatuck will benefit considerably as result of a conference yester- day between the local warden and WPA officials in New Haven.
 Because Naugatuck was placed in a semi-urban classification as far as WPA wages are concerned, the local towns WPA wages are less than those in the urban area. There are three classifications, urban semi-urban and rural with grad uated wage scales.
 After the talk, WPA officials agreed to reconsider the local classification and Warden Sheridan was virtually assured the town would be placed in the urban area where wage scales are higher. This would mean WPA workers would gcs $60 month here instead of $55 originally planned.
 Such towns as Woodbridge, East Haven and Branford are in the semi-urban class and towns of Wallingford and Hamden are in the urban class. The warden pointed out Naugatuck, unlike Woodbridge and Branford, is an industrial cen- ter, and stated he thought 1t should be in the urban area.

 The third army under Gen. RodoltD Graziani, 1taly's greatest colonial figaters, viii deliver the main ettack on the eastern south ern front by striking northwest ward from the Ualual sector.
 Armies An Prepared
 It is known that the northern army is ready for it's drive south ward and 1t is believed the other armies are prepared to open their real offensive October 2S, the most important sentimental date fin fas- Icist history when the Iegions of Benito Mussplini were given their order to march on Rome.
 Military experts believe 1t will take . considerable time before the Italians and Ethiopians clash in a decisive battle in the Harar area, key to the Addis Ababa- Djibouti railway, because Graziani's Italians must cross some terrifcally difficult country, with long, uncertain lines of communication, before they are in position to threaten Harar.
 The northern army must strike southward to Makale 50 miles be- low the present front, consolidate itselves there, establish communi- cations with its base and then ad- vance on Magdala, 150 miles south of Makale, and Dessye, heart of the Ethiopian defense in the north, which is another 40 miles south- eastward.
 A dispatch from Asmara today said that Ras Siyourn, on the north- ern front was raiding the country for men to reinforce his army.
 Expect Desertions
 The Italians expect further de- sertions of Ethiopian chiefs to facili- tate their penetration of an almost uncharted terrain, ranging from mountain peaks to 8 desert below sea level.
 It is reported from Entiscio that UbV0t ~ RA0VA44S1HA OAAACA tAAA1H 4ldVG sent an emissary to Italian head quarters announcing their desire that the Italians shall advance soon and continue their work of peace and justice"
 An official communique said to- day that Italian penetrations into Ethiopian territory or points beyond the Adigrat-Aduwa -Axum line con- tinued.
 The test of the corninunique, No. 27 of the war, said.
 Gen. De Bono telegraphed that there is nothing special to report from the Eritrea or Somaliland fronts.

 2-Mussolini has made known a desire to postpone application of league penalties in order to create a good diplomatic atmosphere.
 3EPremier Pierre Laval of France has arranged to act as go-hetweerr and to acquaint Great Britain of any peace suggestions he or Mus solini may have to make.
 At has been agreed that there is no present basis for negotiation sufficient to warrant calling a special meeting of the league coun- ell, which is in charge of the Italiany Ethiopian crisis SO far as negotiations with Italy go.
 5-Great Britain is disposed neither to make any peace offers it. self nor to cOuntenance any French or Italian offer which is not satis- factory to the League and to Ethi- opia.
 &The government will decide, probably to-day, whether the with drawal of one division from Libya -it believes there are four al- together-is sufficient reason for Britain to withdraw even two bat tie cruisers from ist great fleet.
 Diplomatic quarters believed that the government seriously consid- cred responding to Mussolini's Lib- van gesture by one of its own, as regards withdrawing @ few British ships, even though it believes there are still too many Italian regulars on the Egyptian frontier.

over squawking chickens suspended head downward, goats, tiny baskets of grain and a total of six eggs.
 The men are striding around, the majority carrying rifles usually be- tween 30 and 50 years old but brightly polished. A rifle is the only object an Ethiopian keeps clean. One merchants stock con sisted only of one egg, which he stifl was pitifully trying to sell when we left.
 Disrupted Market
 The arrival of our automobile d. most disrupted the market. Crowds surrounded us to stare and to touch the automobile.
 The priests were clad like the others except for their loaf like turbans. They circulated among the people, carrying 8 hammered iron Byzantine cross which the villagers kissed, kneeling.
 At the end of the village is the two story mud plastered Ghebi, or summer residence, of Ras Gugsa, who surrendered to the ItaliaLs. This residence is now quarteriEg Ras Gugsa's thousand soldiers, dressed in khaki tunics and armed with Japanese, French, German and Belgian rifles. They are being fed by the Italians.
 This squalid village lies cupped in a lovely mountain, trimmed with a valley of green fields of corn and millet and dotted with herds of bumped African cattle, donkeys and goats. It is intercepted by little streams where hundreds of naked Italian soldiers are bathing.
 In the fields the natives are threshing in prehistoric fashion. Oxen trample the grain and thresh- CTS fan off the chaff with flat wicker baskets.
 Gaping Holes From Bombs
 Outside the town there are gap- ing holes from Ciano's aerial bombs but could neither sec nor hear of any dropping in the village.
 We lunched excellently with Gen. Santini, who related how when he was lieutenant he saw the Ital- ian flag hauled down from the fort of Adigrat in 1896 when the Ital- ians retreated, and how proudly he personally hoisted the flag oct. 5 last.
 On the highest hill of the valley a 20 foot square portrait of Mus solini has been erected.
