 No Increase Noted
 "FigUres on file in the local health department show that there has been no increase in venereal cases here for quite a number of years. Figures here compare fa- vorably with other cities in and oLs of the state in accordance witii the population of each city.
 "The clinic at the Chase dis pensary is classed as one of the best in Connecticut by state and government officials. The work done there Is of the highest standard and our follow-up work is highly commended by outside 0f- ficials.
 No Delinquency Allowed
 No delinquency Is allowed and the cooperation between the health officials and the vice squad en- ables the health department to keep close check on those places where infection may be spread"
 Health Officer Godfrey pointed out that when patients are treated for venereal diseases at the clinic the names and addresses of those receiving treatmht are kpt on rec- orc. When the same address shows up too ofter the vice scquad is im- mediately informed through the health department and arrests are made where houses of prostitutlons are found.

Police said first investigations of Kemp's books indicated he em- bezzled more than $250,OO0 from his clients in 20 years. He confess ed many thefts, they said, but was unable to estimate the total in- yolved.
 His arrest yesterday in his ornate Fifth avenue offices created a the: atrical circle sensation from Broad way to Hollywood. Through his connections with the theater he had become insurance broker for hundreds of actors and supposedly was wealthy. Will Rogers, a few weeks before he was killed in an airplane accident, wrote a news- paper article, My Insurance Men" praising Kemp.
 Kemp was accused specifically only of forging the name of Mrs. Betty Rogers, the comedians wid- ow, to a dividend check for $1,524.- 51, made out to her by the Equit- able Life Assurance company in which her husband held policies totaling $285,000. Kemp admitted he cashed the check and used the money himself.
 His arrest was caused by an In, vestigation, asked by Vivienne Se- gal. light opera singer, of disposi- tion of check she sent Kemp for payment of premium on a policy. Police said Kemp had used $12,000 of Miss Segals money.

BUILDING TRADES
 PEACE IS SOUGHT

Atlantic City. N. J.. Oct. D. (UP)-Peace among the warning building trades unions was sought today as leaders of organized labor gathered for their annual conven- ton.
 The preliminary struggle over the building trades situation fore shadowed sterner conflicts when the American Federation of Labor begins its yearly conclave here next week.
 Peace overtures from ranking officials of the federation have been turned aside thus far by the men who are waging a desperate strug- gle for leadership.
 Carrying over the feud which electrified last years San Francis co conventions, the two groups of building trades unions held sepa- rate conventions when they met to- day.

HUCEST ASSEMBLY
 WELL LAUNCHED

(Continued from Page 1.) from greybeards to children, re- sponded. I.-..
 The adults will be on duty unti midnight and the children until p. m.
 Greatest Demonstration
 All previous demonstrations staged in Italy paled into insight. ficance with this gigantic mobiliza. ton, which demonstrated the unity and strength symbolizing the fas. cist state.
 In addition to the millions off cially ordered to mobilize, 1t was reported that several more millions joined the general assemblage which presented Europe with a scene of military fervor unprece- denetd in history.
 Few Exempt
 Only employees of munitions fac tories and of telephone and tele- graph communications and other emptcd. The result was that Ital- ian industry was at a standstill.
 The fascist press with banner headlines reminded Europe that this greatest of all peace-time dem- onstrations finds the entire nation facing the rest of the continent with the same common determina- ton which guides Premier Musso- lini in his policies"
 Citizen Soldiers
 It emphasized that the demon stration was Mussolini's way of realizing the ambition he has often voiced that the Italian people shall be citizen soldiers" That was one of his aims when he moulded the fascist state. Further, 1t showed him making good on his boast of q few days ago that he could muster 10,000,000 fascists in a single day. It was the first time in history that the unity and force of the entire Italian state had been exhibited.
 Of the total number mobilized approximately 40 per cent or A. 100000 was comprised of young men in their physical prime who already have received training in preparation for military service. The remaining group included, q high percentage of men and boys who are being trained under the tutoring of officers of the army. |.
 Legions Ordered Out
 Mussolini's fascist legions were ordered to remain at their posts with military discipline" until the signal for demobilization.
 An echo of Mussolini's statement that in time Of war all Italians must share and share alike was heard in the turnmoil.
 Repeatedly, Il Duce has insisted that soldiers in the trenches must not be discriminated against by allowing those who remain home to mass huge fortunes or receive exorbltantly high wages. In this connection he has enforced rigor- ous laws to restrict distribution of wealth which might accumulate during war.
 Profiteering Abolished
 Profiteering was abolished, po- sitions vacated by men called to the colors must be left open for a period of three to six months, dur ing which time the wages must be paid to the soldiers family.
 However, II Duce's chief purpose in this show of military spirit among his citizens was to prepare them for the re-execution of such

 Drums to Sound Call
 The call will be made by the traditional war drums of the tribes whose throbbing will be relayed all over the mountain fastness and steaming lowlands of the empire.
 Countless thousands of women intend to go to the front with their men, sworn to take up their arms as the men are killed.
 Pending mobilization the emperor has warned major chieftains to be ready to march with their men on a moments notice.
 On Soil One week Government authorities believe Italians in the Assab area have &C., tually been on Ethiopian soil for a week.
 It was asserted that after initial reports, the government confirmed that Italian bases have been estab- iished eastward and westward of Mt. Mussa All, $500 feet high, ly- ing in 6 tongue of Ethiopian terri tory projecting toward the sea be- tween Eritrea and French territory. (Mt. Mussa Ali lies just behind the Eritrean frontier in Ethiopia. It's southern side lies less than five miles from the frontier of French Somaliland).
 Constructed Roads Government information is that the It&lians first constructed six roads southward from Assab, and later q base westward to the noun tain, which is honeycombed with caves and known as q former cen- ter of thes lave trade. Later, it is said, the Italians built road round the southern foothills on 8 level strip 656 feet (2O0 metres) wide between the foot hills and the French border. and stablished q westward base IS 1-2 miles (30 kilometres) with in Ethiopian territory.
 5O,OOO Troops There
 The Philippians have been in- formed that from 50,000 to 60,000 Italian and native troops are south Ol hESuD, WlLh hNAs' Der already in Ethiopia. The most advanced base is said almost to touch French territory and 1t is re- ported that the French have con- structed a red palisade on the bor- der to warn off Italian trespassers.
 There are no Ethiopian troops in the district. The desert charac- ter of the country indicates that the new bases are chiefly for air attack, or possibly for motorized units
 Consul Is Gone
 It was reported on excellent au- thority that the Italian consul at Aduwa, which is to be an immedi- ate Italian objective from the north disappeared yesterday and was pre- sumed to have gone. over into 1tal- ian territory.
 Many believed that the war would be delayed because several Italian consuls are still in the 1n- terior. The consul at Dessye IS due here Friday or Saturday and the consul at Magalo is due Monday. The consul at Debra Markos is de- layed because tbe Blue Nile IS flooded.
 It was decided today that those wives of Seventh Day Adventist missionaries who are mothers, and all missionaries' children. should be evacuated. Four mothers and 10 children, including seven Ameri- cans, are affected. All other women will remain at their posts here and in the provinces to care for wound ed with the men.
