to then.
 From Harar Ras Nassibu went to Diredawa. on the railway from Ia series of military and political conferences, intending to return to the front and assume personal colm- mand. He is expected first to conduct . series of raids in search of spies.
 Mines Were Exploded
 A runner from headquarters of Habte Mikael leading 2S,OOO men in the south with his well-educated Amazonian wife, reported that ap- proximately IS Italians were blown to bits by their own mines.
 The Italian unit detected ap- preach of an Ethiopian raiding par ty, the messenger said, and hastily placed mines of high explosives un- der their camp site. When Maka- les men charged the Italians fled. One of the Italians, siinultating panic too realistically in hope of turing the attackers into the trap, stumbled and tripped the mine trig- ger The entire force of Italians disappeared in a blast of flame, smoke and dust. the runner re- ported.
 The runner said the Ethiopians were able to estimate the number of invaders killed only by the fact that they had two tents and that Is police whistles were found among mutilated bodies.
 Emperor Halle Selassie despatch ed a medal to Mikale's wife, with whom I had tea before she marched to the front in a home atmosphere comparable to that of European dig nitaries. The medal was for an ex- ploit Friday. The pretty, plump little woman usurped commend of Ia company of her husbands men during his absence from camp to raid and rout a camp of Italian scouts.

drastic action being taken against Italy at Geneva, possibly including military sanctions. Now the .Ethio- plans think this was a futile hope
 Emp0rer Faces Crisis
 Economic sanctions, the emper- or's advisers believed, might finally force Mussolini to abandon his campaign of conquest, but 1t is feared that lack of unanimity in their application may make them ineffective. And meanwhile, the em- perer cannot afford to allow the Italians to capture more towns like Aduwa, Aksum and Adigrat, the loss of these rankles with the wild tribesmefl.
 Halle sclassie faced 8 hard de- cision. A crushing defeat for his northern forces might mean serious disintergration of his armies. War riors have been relying to their feudal cfieftains for weeks. Al present their morale is at a high peak and they are confident of ul- timate victory. But in the past fl has been shown that these fighters lack the ability to remain on good terms with each other for more than three or four months at a time because of their better inter- tribal feuds and the jealousies among their leaders.

facing 2 more difficult time than today" Y
 Baldwin refused laborite request for g debate on unemployment. "The international situation Is of paramount Importance" he said, "and while unemployment is also important, am afraid they must appeal to the country - Q tribunal to which we all must bow"
 Regarding the Ethiopian situa- ton, Baldwin repeated the an- nounceinent yesterday by Sir Sam uel Hoare, foreign seeretary---that Britain intends to take no isolated action against Italy, but to act only under the league.
 Praised the League
 He praised the efforts of the league, suggesting that 1t was do- ing well to accomplish what 1t has in the face of non-support from the United States, Japan and Germany.
 We must remember" he said, I've are not dealing with Q league enjoying the plentitude of strength which its founders envisaged, but a league left to one side by three of the most important powers and which has enjoyed perhaps waiyer- bers."
 He warned that any settlement of the Ethiopian problem must be fair to Ethiopia, Italy and the league. but that 1t must be done by diplo- male means and not forceful league sanctions.
 He then criticized the propaganda [ t:ess of dictatorship countries, such as Italy and Germany, indirectly accusing them of fonenting war.
 Depfecates War
 T deprecate the word war;" Bald win said. That condition of mind Is dangerous, especially for eplIl- tries which are forced to depend for news on whatever is submitted to them by their governments"
 Baldwin's statement that the country might Do facing worse dif- ticulticg in January caused excited speculation about what he meant.
 The hint that Britain is not through with her difficulties more or less accords with the under- current of comment among political men, despite the emphasis placed by the ptess generally on the con- tention that tension is lesseniug.
 Some quarters interpreted the speech as evidence that the govern lnent is deteti1lined to make foreign policy the main issue Of the elec- ton, which seemed borne out by BaldwIn's refusal to permit debate on unemployment.
 Did Not DIvulGe
 Contrary. to flation-wide expecta- tions, Baldwin refraiped tsoin d. !vulging the extent of tho defense preparations which will he made. By leaving the question open, it was believed, he expects to receive a mandate which will enable the goy- erninetit to proceed with whatever building program # geeB flt. without hs'i,s fef|k'1Eed V Q rfevl2nS1F az@

1b0,000 men will attempt to hold a line running southeastward from the Bamba river, a tributary of the Takkaze, to Abi Addi, and If pos- sible will essay Q fanking fnove- emnt against the Italian right wing on the west side of the front. Ras Siyoun is supposed to have an- other 150,000 men on a line running from the right Of Kassa's army rortheastward to a point near Dera, southeast of Adigrat. A third army of 30,000 men Is said to be in po- sition eastward of Dera to protect the foothills leading from the Dan- akil plain in the northeast.
 Italians lin Four Columns
 The Addis Ababa reports are that that the Italians may strike in four columns southward, and that one of them may veer to it's left, moving from Adigrat southwestwayd across the foot hills. This would slecessi- tate endorsements in that area for the Philippians if @ stand were to be made.
 It was expected that the Ital- ians would try to move down to- ward the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway on their eastern front, while other Italian forces drove toward 1t from the Mt. Mussa Ali sector near French Somaliland and the third Italian army struck from the southeast through Ogaden.
 It was reported that the Ethio- plan first line of defense would be a thin one of sharpshooters who would place themselves in com, mandtng territory to pick out Ital- ian outposts.
 Estimates of casualties in fighting so far continued to be much higher as reported in dispatches to Lon- don than is indicated by United Press dispatches.
 A cominunique issued at Addls Ababa announced that all was quiet on the northern front today. It as- serted that Philippians were leaving districts occupied by Italians and concentrating at Makale, south of the Italian front.
 An Exchange correspondent with the Italian southeastern army arl- i,ounced the capture by Italians and native irregulars of the "fortihed' village of Glide, northeast of Cor rahei, after a fight in which 20 Ethiopiaas were killed or wounded. There were only g hundred de- lenders, the correspondent said and they resisted until they were al- most completely surrounded. Then half of them escaped in the brush.
 Gen. Fietro Badoglio, chief of staff of the Italian armies who is visiting the northeast front, has arrived at Aduwa, the Exchange Telegraph reported.
 The original Ethiopian strateey was to inarass the enemy, strike at their communications, ambush them and not join battle terrain most favorable to the defenders was reached.
 This plan of campaign however, was based primarily on the hope of

the country. For years the stock of the company, through New England was one of the chief investments for all groups banks, individuals with large holdings and those who could muster enough money to buy a few shares.
 In the old days stockholders an- nually were given 8 pass by the railroad to attend the stockholders meeting in Boston.
 The original company was the Hartford and New Haven railroad, formed in 1883 to operate between New Haven, Conn, and Springfield, Mass. Eleven years later the New York, New Haven railroad was formed to operate between New York city and New Haven. Though transportation was sold by both roads but 1t was not until August 6, 1872, that the present company was formed.
 Operated Many Miles Since then the road has grown to operate about 2,070 miles of track age and has spread into other lines of transportation such as bus oper- ations - through the New England Transportation ompany which operates over 5000 miles of highway
 - and shipping through the New England Steamship company, which operates vessels between New York and Fall River, Mass.

In turn 22.8 per cent of the New York, New Haven & Hartford is owned by the Pennsylvania railroad and the Pennroad Corporation. At the close of 1884, the road owed $6,000,000 to the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation and an additional $1,699, 300 to the corpora ton in what is termed as a long, term loan. The company also owed $3,532,000 to the Railroad Credit corporation and $16,275, ,0OO to banks. There was outstanding $49,- 0s6, 700 of $7 cumulative preferred stock and s157118,0O0 of $10O par common stock.

the Italians are Ras elyoum and Ra1 Kassa, both veteran fighters. The reserve force moving up to re- lnforce the troops already within striking distance of the Italian lines is under command of War Minister Ras Muiu Getta.
 Ras Siyoum was understood to be among those urging the emperor to immediate battle. In his telephone c0nyersation with the king of kings . few days ago he is understood to have sought permission to lead an ndvance.
 Wilder Heads Eager
 The wilder heads, both at Addis Ababa and in the north, favored an attempt to recapture Aduwa and the holy city of AGlkum. Some calmer experts believed such an offensive would be suicidal. Any position which the Italians have had time to fortify with guns must be stCrmed only as a last resort, they argued.
 Near Makale, on the other hand, the Italian front lines would pre- gsInnably be spread out along a wide front. If the Philippians were able to break through this, they might turn Gen. Emilio De Bono's flank and break through into Eritrea. Then recapture of Aduwa and Ak sum might be a less dangerous un- dertaking.
 The northern Ethiopian forces steadily moved into . position from which drive against the Italians could be started. Troops converged on Makale, both afoot and mounted, from the south as well as from the surrounding mountain fastness- es. Ras Kassas and Ras Siyoum were in position to join their forces,
 Siyoun reported that Italian planes which have passed over the hidden Ethiopian armies 100 times have never yet succeeded in sight, ing them.
 Prayed for Success
 RaS Nassibu, commanding on the eastern front, arrived at Harar from his headquarters near Jijiga to prepare for afight in Ogden prov- tnce. Before he left Hjiga he prayed for the success of his army in the ancient Coptic Christian church, while soldiers knelt outside. Arriving at Harar, Ras Nassibu or- dered all men in the area to join troops from the Bali region at the front.
 Drive the Italians out of Ogaden and then out of Africa" he cried

I'd call in a veterinarian riaht away, rather than call a policeman or Q dog warden. In this case, the dog was sick. and was on the worn- ans own property. The obvious thing to do would have been to call in a veterinarian. The police department can't do anything in 8 case like that: the desk officer did the proper thing in referring the matter to the dog warden"
 Dog Warden Coleman oIauehlin declared today that he saw no rea- son for complaint. He pointed Gut that he did go to the Larkins' home. put 8 veterinarian had been called Tn. He, too, expressed wonder that the woman did not call in a dog doc tor when she saw that her animal was sick.

The article of Inst night asserted that she did make such 8 request.
 Mrs. Larkin called in to say that her dog was sick, that he was acting queerly," Captain Le7oy said. "she did not ask to have a policeman sent up to shoot the dog"

 Friends of Dog Warden oI,a,IehIin pointed out today that he has f,Il- filled the duties of his post in effi- clent fashion. It was only recently that the warden was able to stopu patrolling streets in two sections of the city where rabies cases were re- ported early in the summer. Dsy and nlgnt patrolling was required to see that dogs were being confined to the property of their owners, so that the rabies might not spread. It was pointed out that this arduous work was but one of the multiple duties which Warden OLaughlin performs.

 enough concessions to satisfy Lon- don. Britain meanwhile is waiting for Mussolini to make an overture intending otherwise to let events at Geneva take their course.
 Overshadows Military The diplomatic situation over- shadowed the military one. There was no indication of any lesssning of hostilities in Ethiopia. On the contrary, the Philippians showed signs of translating their boastful fighting talk" of recent weeks about what the would do to put the Italians into action.
 Edward Beattie, United Press cor respondent at Addis Ababa, reports that Halle Selassie's fighting men estimated by the Philippians at l. COG, ,000 but probably not many more than 3D0,000-are beginning their commanders to let them attack. If they are unleashed, despite Halle SelaSsie's preference for mak- ing the Italians keep the offensive, the first real fighting of the war will occur in the north.
 War Rumbles
 With the Italian northern army in Ethiopia, Oct. 22.-(Via Asmara, Eritrea, Oct. 23)-The army press bureau asserted today that 1t had received word that an American named West and several women, all members of a caravan, were held at Gambela, Ethiopia, and that other foreigners were being detained. West, 1t was said, asked protection from the legation at Adds Ahaba. The press bureau said also that a German woman, Elizabeth Klein, had been prevented from leaving the country and that her baggage had been confiscated.
 Gambela is in the extreme Wesl central portion of Ethiopia, near the Sudan frontier. Phil R. West and his wife and their two chil- dren; Dr. and Mrs. Harold Wilson and their two children and Miss Isabel Blair, all with. the American Mission (Presbyterian) are listed as being at saio, which is 25 miles north of Gambela, 40 miles east of the Sudan border and 280 miles west of Addis Ababa.

(By The Associated Press)

Springfield, Mo-, Nov. 2, - Archaeologists are baff1ed by queer stone image of an ani- maj, found five years ago in the mud of the Osage River near Warsaw.
 The image, chiseled in a block of sandstone weighing 150 pounds, has remained at Drury College here after be- ing sent to the University of Arkansas for study.
 It is the face of an animal and resembles a COW with the humps, although it is horn- less and has small, fat ears. Several professors who have studied it believe it was cary ed by Indians; others by a race that inhabited the coun try in an earlier era.
