(Rv The Associated Press

A motorized column of $4,000 troops
from Marshal Pedro Badoglio's north
ern army drove down the imperial
Ethiopian highway today en- route
from Dessye to Adds Ababa.
The Fascist cOmmander-in-chief in
east Africa sent out this column of
white Italian soldiers Sunday morning
to augment the advance guard Of ma
tive Askari warriors, already advanc-
ed in positions far up the Dessye-
Adds Ababa road.
Marshal Badoglio reported his south
ern army under General Rodolfo Ora
Ziani was menacing Sasa Baneh,
strategic outpost of Harar, second
city of Ethiopia.
France faced critical test of it's
political forces as election results
showed a decisive swing to the left
with communists showing consider
able gains in the late returns.
The voting, however, showed that
the radical socialist party, dominant
factor in the old parliamentary set
up, would still retain a leadership in
the new assembly, although the party
sustained some losses.
In Austria, Vice CHANCELLOR Ernst
Won Starhemberg said fatty he would
oppose any attempts to disband his
private army instigating a succession
of conferences of government officials
to deal with the impending crisis.
The young prince warned there
would be a repetition of the bloody
socialist and then Nazi civil wars of
1894 should any attempt be made to
curb his military power by disarm-
ing his heimwehr, or home guard.

O|L MEN WATCH
! DRILLING ACTIVITY
Other Parts Of Industry
Maintain Steady Pace.
Demand Climbs.
By the Associated Press.


TULSA, Okla, November 26.-
Drilling activities, particularly in the
mid-continent, drew the attention Of
the oil fraternity today as other d.
visions of the industry maintained .
steady pace.
Forecasts have been that with the
continual high demand for oil prod
ucts, and the fact that no large new
reserves were tapped during 1886, the
year 1887 would see a revival of drill
ing unsurpassed in several years.
Some drillers have predicted new
peak Of wildcatting and return to
old time geological methods rather
than the type of geophysical explora-
ton lately in vogue.
In Oklahoma the spotlight turned
to Tillman County, where the Indian
Territory Illuminating Oil and the
Foster Minerals Corp. No. l Halter In,
a wildcat south of Frederick, was
hailed as a poo! opener.
Even with cold weather at hand
there still was no sign Of a slack
ening of demand for refined prod
ucts and the trade remained brisk
at unchanged prices. Ref1neries
easily absorbed the 23,000-barrels-a-
day increase in production of crude
for the week ended November 81.
