 Harar, Ethiopia ((by runner to Diredawa and train to DjiboutD, i, Oct. 2e-(UP)-The lives of the war correspondents behind the southern front, already made un- pleasant by flies, fleas, dirt, malaria and .dysentery, are being complicat- ed by @ growing hatred of foreign- CTS. All correspondents are sus- pected of espionage and are being subjected to investigation. Pending the outcome we are mercilessly re- stricted. Every movement, every conversation, every dispatch is made a matter for surveillance.
 They Couldn't Read It
 A dispatch, entirely impartial, filed by this correspondent yester- day, was refused transmission af- ter 8 consultation by post office au- thorities with officials at Addis Ababa, though the government had not the slightest knowledge of the contents of the message. It is ne- cessary for that reason for corre- spondents to try to smuggle dis- patches. Ras Nassibu, commanding on the southern front, told me that no correspondents or photographers would be permitted at the front until they were cleared of suspicion of espionage. Correspondents are not permitted to proceed from one townn to another without permits, which are most difficult to obtain.
 Some Writers Are III
 Some of the correspondents are i'll. Most of them exchange ton- sorial services and cut each others hair.
 Correspondents sought vainly to- day to accompany E. A. Chapman Andrew, British consul at Harar, who plans to leave for Jijiga to- morrow to cross the war zone to the British Somaliland frontier, where he will meet his wife and their two year old son.
 Mir. Chapman Andrew and the baby have been staying at Hargeisa, British Somaliland, but she insisted on returning to Harar, possibly to stand seize in the fortified consulate compound.
 Chapman-Adrew has re-made a gas mask to fit the baby in event they encounter an air raid.

 Premier Benito Mussolini's Afri- can adventure, which has succeed ed thus far, apparently led him into Q diplomatic blind alley from which he is trying to back out as grace fully as his position as dictator will allow. From London came an official admission that Great Britain has received a series of proposals for solution of the Italo-Ethiopiar crisis.
 Sustain Yelled Stories
 This confirmation of move re. ported for almost 6 week came te sustain yelled advices from Webk Miller. United Press Correspondent with the Italian armies of the north that any further advance was being held in check. awaiting the outcome of European peace developments Miller's cables, phrased in guarded language because of censorship comment that lin the military serst the army on the northern front ' ready for any eventuality." But Miller continued, "is is my impres. sion that developments will depend upon considerations other than m'' iitary ones ct present"
 Only Marked Time
 This Judgment from the field ol action was given point by the facl that since the first weeF Of Octopel when Italy made hcr push to Adu. wa, her troops sent to Africa a' great financial sacrifice have mere ly marked time. Although scat tered reports on minor actions IT Southern Ethiopia continue to como through, 1t is evident that Italy ha' not thrown the weight or her mi' litary machine behind any majol advance. .
