ACTUAL WARFARE IS GOING ON IN ETHIOPIA
FIERCE WARFARE GOING ON
IN ETHIOPIA AS ITALIANS IN
RETALIATION BEGIN ATTACK
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, Oct. 4—Italian troops smashed into Ethio
pian areas apparently in three columns—two from Eritrea
and one from Italian Somaliland. Rome officials announc
ed that advances were made all along the frontier.
While Italian Fascists went ahead witth precision, states
men oppossed to conquest moved much slower in Europe.
Premier Laval having agreed with Anthony Eden that an
attempt should be made to invoke League sanctions, went
before the cabinet for his program’s approval.
In Geneva neutral observers were impressed by the
fact that the speed of Italy’s military movements were
greater than the League deliberations.
Italian government, which yesterday denied the aerial
bombing, today admitted the bombing of Aduwa and Adi
grat, declaring that it was in retaliation for the heavy fire
of Ethiopian troops. Official announcements indicated that
the bombing p*anes were sent ahead to clear out strategis
positions, after that came the attack of the infantry and
cavalry to take over the points. Inhabittants of Addis Aba
ba the capital, are fearing a repetition of the bombing inci
dent. Sellassie said today he still hopes that the League
may act. 4
LONDON, Oct. 4—An exchange telegraph correspond
ent at Addis Ababa reported that heavy casualties were suf
fered by both forces in fighting around Agame Adigrat.
ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 5—Advancing Italian forces bomb
ed the area between Aduwa and Oksum and then occupied
Maibaria.
UNDATED, Oct. 4, —Undeclared war between Italy
and Ethiopia, started today, in the view of experts of the
League, following news that Sellassie’s threat was being
made good of sending thousands of men toward the Eritrean
border, from which Italian troops are advancing.
From Rome came the announcement that Italian troops
had “moved into some advanced positions beyond our lines
in East Africa”.
A Reuter’s dispatch to London from Addis Ababa said
that Italian troops were advancing toward Agam, between
Aduwa and Adigpat, and that they had suffered a minor de
feat.
In Addis Ababa Selassie proclaimed the general mobili
zation of his ten million subjects, and was reported to have
sent four regiments of 50,000 soldiers to Aussa to meet the
eventual Italian attack near Mussa Ali.
At Geneva officials announced the receipt of a commun
ication from Ethiopia asserting that Aduwa had been bom
barded by Italian planes. Aduwa is the historical scene of
the great Italian defeat forty years ago. The King of Kings
charged that women and children were killed not only at
Aduwa but at Adigrat. The bombing reports were denied
by Italy, the government of which protested against Eth
iopia’s mobilization to the league, and ordered its higher
command to take “defensive measures”. The League Coun
cil is officially convoked for an emergency session Saturday,
when the assembly may also meet in extraordinary session.
Britain viewed the situation with alarm. Eden starting
for Geneva, was instructed by the cabinet to throw the whole
weight of British influence behind the League efforts to stop
or isolate the conflict.
France was reported to have been assured by Musso
lini’s promise, that an Ethiopian war would not mean a
European war. France prepared to confer with Great Bri
tain as to what the two nations’ joint attitude would be.
Selassie’s lions roared restively when mobilization
drums thundered. The emperor signed the mobilization or
der with a gold pen and then resumed his throne in the
palace.
ATHENS, Oct. 4, — The government called up three
military classes to report for service as a precautionary
measure, in view of the international situation.
The war minister said that consideration was being
given to mobilization “but no decision had yet been arrived
at.”
SOFIA, Oct. 4, — Machine guns and bayonets of the
Sofia garrison were turned out for the second time within
a year and a half to protect the life of King Boris III because
it was asserted that a plot was underway to assassinate Bor
is today, the anniversary of his accession to throne, 17
years ago. The capital city is in a state of seige, and all traf
fic has stopped.

SICKNESS AT BARROW AGAIN
(By The Associated Press)
BARROW, Oct. 4, — Dr.. Henry Griest, surgeon of the
Presbyterian Mission hospital here said he believed that the
typhoid outbreak was under control. Three native children
and a native nurse were stricken. The nurse and two child
ren are recovering and the other child continued to be
critically ill.
Troubles piled up on the hospital recently when Dr.
Griest started a hunting trip three weeks ago and devel
oped pneumonia, returning to Point Barrow the next day to
discover that typhoid was appearing, and the wife of the sup
erintendent of nurses was suffering from an abscess of the
spine, and the Eskimo cook had vanished on her honey
moon. Dr. Griest carried on for five days at the hospital,
and when Mrs. Griest was somewhat recovered she forced
him to go to bed. While recuperating this week he received
word from the Presbyterian Board of National Missions at
New York demanding retrenchment, limiting of help and
positive economy.
WATERFRONT TROUBLES ARE
APPROACHING HEAD WITH 29
VESSELS TIED UP IN HARBOR
(By The Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4, —With twentynine ships
idle, the tense waterfront awaited the outcome of a gener
al meeting of longshoremen summoned by leader Bridges,
and efforts toward a conciliation of the hot cargo dispute by
McGrady.
Bridges called a meeting last night to “discuss and take
action on the present lockout, involving the threatened per
manent suspension from work by employers of longshore
men who continue to refuse to move hot cargo.” Mc
Grady immediately started conferences with employers and
j workers.
ABOARD DESTROYER BROOME, Off Southern Calif
ornia Coast—Oct. 3 President Roosevelt went on a fishing
cruise, but the Navy wanted to show him something, that
no American President has ever before witnessed—how the
Navy fights—so the president’s cruiser, and the cruiser bear
ing the newspaper men who will follow him on his fishing
cruise, and the destroyer bearing his staff, put out into the
Pacific, representing the “enemy”.
The U. S. Navy with its fleet of one hundred and thir
ty fighting ships came to do him battle for an hour and a
half. The navy strutted all of its stuff, from dreadnaughts
to the smallest destroyers, and with the ever present air
j planes, launching its attack. After the demonstration the
President’s little flotilla sped down the coast toward the
PaTiafrfa Canal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, — “A Flaming Crusade” by the
churches for peace was proposed by Secretary of State
Hull before a committee on religious life, as war drums
sounded on the Ethiopian border.
An hour or so earlier President Roosevelt at San Diego
told the country that the United States was determined to
avoid the perils of war and remain unentangled and free.
The secretary’s speech is the first official comments that
any official has ever made after the delivery of the Presi
dent’s address. It was taken by many as another exposition
of the administration’s desire to keep this country out of any
conflict which might arise from an Italian-Ethiopian con
troversy
