 London, Oct. 18-A major military mystery seemed developing today on the southern front in Ethiopia.
 Stories of a big scale thrust of Italian armies up the south eastern river valleys to cut the Addis Aba ba railway have been succeeded by official reports of unexpected rains,
 Permission for foreign newspaper correspondents to visit the southern Italian front has been cancelled.
 There are continuing reports oi isolated operations in the great Og- Iadfn Sterritoryhs szetNeenS he xttalisk Somaliland frontier and the railw.-y Italian Plans Halted
 But it is indicated that for the present something has occurred te halt the Italian plans for an ad- vance and that the advance may moi start for more than a week at least
 First word of the rains came in United Press Rome dispatch Mon- day, on top of succession of stories regarding the beginning of a big push for the railway by Gen Rodolfo Graziani, Italian comman- der in chief on the southern front and Italy's greatest colonial strat- egist.
 Graziani in his plan of attack provided for horde of fast baby tanks to move up the river valleys toward the railway.
 An official communique at Rome yesterday said that there were no developments worthy of note on the Somaliland front and an official spokesman admitted that renewed rains were halting operations.
 Experts Are Mystified
 Military experts express them- selves as mystified over the whole situation. Reports of airplane raids and the movements of an Italian column northward parallel to the British Somaliland border continue yet it seems that the main force

The feeling that this was some

brief words transmitting their legacy
into deed of gift. With the return of
their courage, questions commenced.

case of your death - would go so far
as to murder you?"

Then why" Sir George asked,

"A cunning question, Sir George"
his client admitted. Il did it for this
reason. Nathaniel was a sick man.

Sir George drank another glass of

ask another question but the lawyers

asked.
