Austria And Italy
Probably Be Closer

Diplomatic Front
Exists Ethiopian
Italian Situation
(By The Associated Press)
Undated, Oct. 18, —Rome,
London and Paris were spot
lighted sharply today on the
diplomatic front, as Laval of
France, strove anxiously to
maintain peace in the Medi
terranean and achieve peace
for East Africa.
Opposing forces in Ethio
pia still maneuvered on the
northern front, while rain on
the southern frontier held
war activities quiescent.
Authoritative sources in
Paris said that Premier Lav
al had asked Great Britain
to renounce formally any
blockade or individual sanc
tion which might lead to a
possible war, before France
promises to aid against Italy.
British sources insist that
France must answer yes or no
to Great Britain’s inquiry as
to how she is going to stand,
in the Mediterranean to avert
hostilities.
Rome reported that a vast
area in northern Africa had
been drawn into the war pic
ture, with barbed wire entan
glement stretched along the
frontier of Italy’s colony of
Libya.
Worried over the crisis in
the sanctions drive, Geneva
was heartened by word that
Russia had initiated penalties
against Italy.
Officials thought that twen
ty-four hours would tell the
tale whether the sanctions
would become effective or
fail. Emperor Selassie announ
ced that he had abandoned a
passive attitude and had or
dered troops into the field to
repel the invaders.

Bad Weather Is
Holding \ ictoria
At Nome Today
The S S Victoria of the Alas
ka Line which has been dis
charging cargo at Nome is
again held up by weather
conditions, a strong wind hav
ing sprung up in such a way
as to prevent the passengers
being placed aboard, and the
remainder of the freight from
being unloaded.
The latest available esti
mate on the number of pass
engers who will be aboard the
S S Victoria sailing for Seatt
le was given at 350.
Agent Daly stated late to
day that it was uncertain as
to the hour when the remain
ing passengers would be tak
en aboard, but that an at
tempt would be made the first
thing in the morning if weath
er will permit.
About one-half of the pass
engers were taken aboard the
vessel this morning by the
Nohalico lighterage.
Some Poisons Are
Of A Beneficial
Nature To Human
Leningrad, Oct. 18—A little
of a bad thing may be a good
thing—at least temporarily.
Small doses if poison, bacter
ial toxins, destructive rays,
all seem to act in the same
direction, as stimulants. But
larger doses bring on disturb
ance and finally death.
A generalization covering
all harmful and lethal reac
tions of organisms was pre
sented before the meeting of
the Fifteenth International
Physiological congress here
by Dr. W N Bolydreff of Bat
tle Creek. Michigan. He cited
examples taken from five dif
ferent fields: poisons like alco
hoi and morphine, radiations
like x-rays, “physiological”
sicknesses of the liver and
other glands, spasms and
other disturbances of the mus
cles, and diseased conditions
of the nerves and brain.
His general conclusion was.
“Weak irritations involve
an excitation, strong irrita
tions an inhibition, excessive
irritations a paralysis and
death.”
Federal offices and the M
and M Bank were closed to
day—Alaska Day, according
to holiday hours. General
business establishments were
not able to observe the holi
day due to the rush of!!! *,!!
day because of the last boats.
