cate Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, of which both are mem

Attorney Biggins found a pass
age in the immigration law
which permits aliens who have
long had the impression they
were Americans to file for
citizenship on final papers with
out going through the ordinary
procedure if they have per-
formed acts Of citizenship. When
the question arose in Benedetto's
case this morning the court was
told that Benedetto's voluntary
service in the Army was not an
act Of citizenship because mill
tary service during the war was
open to all aliens except alien
enemies.
Attorney Biggins pointed out
that aliens could not register
for the draft, although they
could volunteer for military SER
vice, and asked Justice Cox to
construe draft registration as an
act of citizenship.
In ordering Benedetto's admis-
sion to citizenship, Justice Cox
asserted he was prepared to ad.

italian Bombers Renew
Action in Gorrahei Sector

HARAR, Ethiopia, Nov
U.N.S).-Italian airplaneS, soar
ing ahead Of the columns advan-
cling on the southern front, today
renewed their bombardment of
Ethiopian frontier posts near
Gorrahei, according to reports re-
Ceived here.
Ethiopian raiding parties, how.
ever. have succeeded in pene-
trating the Italian lines northwest
OF Dolo, the reports said, in an ef-
fort to turn the left flank of the
column moving across the desert.
Important movements Of Ethio-
plan forces continue in Ogaden
province. and frequent conveys Of
ammunition are leaving Jijiga for
the south.
Ethiopians still hold Gorrahei,
though the town, however, was
badly damaged in the recent
bombing by Italian planes.
The rumored killing of women
and children by italian bombs has
angered the tribesmen in the
Harrar sector, and is calculated
to Stiffen their resistance and
cause anti-Italian repriSals.

ITALIANS DELAY
DRIVE UPON
MAKALE
Respite Gives
Army a Chance to
Tighten Lines

ROME, Nov. 5 I.N.S0-The
italian advance on Makale was
halted this morning and will be
held up for 4S hours, the govern.
ment announced officially.
Operations ceased to enable the
invading troops to consolidate
positions taken in their two-day
drive, since there is constant fear
Of a sudden Ethiopian attack, and
to build new roads over which
supplies can be moved.
Troops Need Rest
The two-day delay also will af.
ford the troops a needed rest, the
government announced. The an
nouncement was based on mill.
tary advices from ASmara, Fri.
trea.
The troops are tired from their
march of more than 35 miles, tax
ing them more than half way to
their objective. Most of the forces
still had about 20 miles to go to
enter Makale.
Announcement Of the 48-hour
delay indicated progress from
now on might be much slower.
Until now, however, the advance
has been comparatively rapid.
This was made clear in military
communique No. 81, issued today.
"The advance which began at
dawn on the third continued yes
terday on the whole 'front.'" the
communiQue said. 1.-THE first
army corps. Leaving its position
at Mai Uecc, reached the region
Of the torrent of Mai Ami, occu-
pylng the village of Adj Baghi.
Advances Rapidly Made
Native army corps moving in
two columns occupied the village
Of HauSien and reached a point
to the right of Afturro Hill.
simultaneously from the
Damakil lowlands one of our col
umnS occupied the eastern but
tresS of Agame Province.
The advance was very rapid.
Strong bodies Of Ethiopians were
in flight before the native army
corps.
"Our troops everywhere were
well received by the population,
which displayed italian flags in
the villages. The aircraft car
ried out reconnaissance flights
over Lake Ashangi and south Of
the Takkaze River.
"The columns on the SomaH
front continue their activity in
the Ogaden sector"

Vet Finds Odd Twist
To CitiZenshi % Law

Frank Benedetto, 42-year-old
barber at the Marine Barracks,
and So other aliens naturalized in
District Supreme Court today
learned something about citizen
ship requirements that left them
in a guessing mood.
They learned that 18 months
service in the American Expedi-
tionary Forces during the World
War is not IAN act of citizenship"
within hte meaning of the i'm.
migration laws and their interper-
tation by bureau officials.
They did learn however, that
mere registration for the draft on
the part of an alien who is under
the impression that he is an
Amehican citizen, is sufficiently
"an act Of citizenship" to entitle
him to naturalization, regardless
Of whether he is subsequently
called for service.
The odd twist to the naturaliza-
ton laws developed while Justice
Joseph w. Cox was holding the
largest naturalization hearing in
the local call in the last five
years. Sixty-four aliens were
granted citizenship.
Benedetto's odd predictment
was revealed when an examiner
questioned him to learn that he
was but two years old when his
father, Salvatore Benedetto, emf
grated to America in 1895 with
his wife and a number Of other
little Benedetto's.
On his fathers return from a
recent visit to Italy Frank
learned for the first time that he
was born in the old country and
was an alien here.
He went for advice to Attorney

u. 5. TO REFUSE
LEAGUE OIL
BAN BID
Request Awaited With
Suspicion, and May
Be Withheld
Copyright. 1888. by International
News ServicO)

This Government will refuse to
make any advance promise to the
League Of Nations to join in pro-
hibiting the shipment of oil and
other key war products to Italy.
This was learned definitely to,
day following Geneva reports that
the League intended to ask this
Government to promise active co.
operation in banning the ship
ment Of those products.
League Request Awaited
The League request has not yet
been made. There was good rea-
son to believe the League would
do well to refrain from making it.
If made, it will be doomed to fail
ure insofar as any definite COM
mitments are concerned. Further
more, the American reply is not
likely to be satisfactory to Geneva.
In the first place, this Govern
ment does not feel it has the
authority to make any such COM
mitments to the League. In the
sehond place, officials are inclined
to be somewhat suspicious of the
motives which would promp the
League to make such a request at
this time.
Chicanery Suspected
Some Of the League powers,
particularly France, are known
to be far from enthusiastic about
imposing any drastic sanctions
against Italy.
It would not surprise official
quarters here if those reluctant
powers were seeking to find an
excuse for Side7stepping the i'm
position Of drastic sanctions, and
had hit upon the idea of making
America the goat"

Askaris and blackshirts Of Gen.
Pietro Maravignia's second army
corps were split into two columns
on the western flank.
Moving south and southeast,
they were engaged in cleanup
operations in the mountainous

the direct line Of Makale, and
heading for the Adj Aba region.
Heading his desperation"

Mussilini'S Son-in-law, with Mus
solini'S sons, Bruno and Vittorio,
flew over Makale today, ready to
drop bombs or fire machine guns
if they met any resistance, but
they reported that white flags and
friendly hands waves greeted
them.
They saw a concentration Of
enemy troops breaking camp at
Beles and heading southwark,
evidently giving up the idea Of
resistance at Makale.
On the other hand, MuSsolini'S
relatives also reported armed
bands heading toward Makale in
the Empedo region, and said there
are still Ethiopian concentrations
in Tembien and the Lake AShangi
districts.

so he could rescue his mother
and sister, who he feared might

It was rumored that RaS Gugsa
sent a gang of seven braves Sc

but his desperadoeS all were slain.
