By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1935. by United Press) ADUWA. Ethiopia, Oct. 8 and 9 (By Courier to Asmara, As-mara, Eritrea, Oct. 11) (U.R) The Italians are in control of the northern Aduwa front, massing their forces for a steady drive into the interior, via Aksum on the west and towards Makale on the east. Scattered sniping by the Ethiopians Ethi-opians is the oniy sign of resistance. resist-ance. I was surprised to hear in a Berlin trans-ocean news broadcast a story dateiined Addis Ababa, purportine to give Italian casualties casual-ties as 2.000. Everything I have seen here indicates that the figure probably would not reach 100 dead and wounded, of whom only a few are dead. I would be surprised if the casualties exceed 27 Italians and their native troops, with the Askaris predominating. I visited several hospitals. The largest number I saw anywhere in them wasjfrom 15 to 100. mostly :indertreatment for illness. No .Resistances Likewise I was surprised to hear of a "desperate battle" for Aduwa. which it was not. Aduwa was captured with virtually no resistance, resist-ance, and- the town itself was not visibly damaged by bombs, most of which were dropped in the surrounding sur-rounding hill?. Reports here are that the principal prin-cipal Ethiopian concentrations are on a line between Gondar. just north of Lake Tana, and the Ta-kazze Ta-kazze river, which flows northwest (Continued on Page Eight) MERRY GO-ROUND A Daily Picture of What'? Going On in National Affairs Bv DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON Confidential Con-fidential cabl reports received re-ceived here indicate that Mussolini was not bluffing when he snapped his fingers at the threat of an economic and financial boycott by the league. . The real fact is that neither boycott is of any immediate threat to Italy. A financial boycott already has been force against Italy as far as London and New York money markets are concerned. To offset thi, Mussolini has a hoarded war chest of $500,000,000 in gold and about the same amount in foreign securities. He figures this will be enough. And if the war is short it will be. fThe economic boycott is ; even lefsvorrisonie for the simple reason that nations al- ' ways are ready to sell but i not buy. Mussolini knew this j when he snapped his fingers at the league. Already his premonition has proved correct. Switzerland has intimated privately to league authorities auth-orities that it could not enforce a trade boycott against Italy. Italy is its best market. A boycott would mean cutting off about 75 per cent of Swiss exports and financial ruin to many industries. Austria, Hungary and even Jugoslavia are in the same fix. The latter country long a bitter enemy now is finding Italy a lucrative market. In need of war supplies, Mussolini has reduced (Continued on Page 2, Sec. 2) he AN It DEPENDENT fcVSPAPER Mussolini To Take Reprisals Against Boycott Movement If Duce Not To Remain Passive Under Blow of Penalties; Secret Plans Under Way To Break Through World Boycott ROME, Oct. 11 (U.R) Italian troops have virtually encircled en-circled Aksum, it was announced officially tonight.

ARMS EMBARGO AGAINST ITALY (Copyright 1935, by United Press) GENEVA, powers, led Oct 11 (L'E The bv ' Great Britain. ; launched a drastic three-fold pro- gram of sanctions i penalties; a era irat Ttalv todav. designed to halt her war against Ethiopia. Moving swiftly and decisively, the sub-committee of 16 prepared the following plan for approval of the main sanctions committee of 50: 1. A world-wide arms embargo against Italy, while Britain France, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Sweden left their embargo against Ethiopia. 2. A world-wide boycott of Italian Ital-ian goods. 3. World-wide refusal to extend ex-tend loans or credit to Italy. The arms embargo is expected to go into effect tomorrow, although al-though some league members may find it necessary to delay because of legislative difficulties. iThe three-iold-measurep may be supplemented by others, such as withdrawal of the head of embassies em-bassies and legations from Rome, designed to impress the Italian people with their moral isolation ELLERTSON IS CLUB SPEAKER Means by which service clubs ; could aid Provo city and its de- j velopment. were discussed by j Jesse N. Ellertson, president of the Kiwanis club and former mayor, in a talk before the Provo Rotarians Friday noon at the Roberts Rob-erts hotel. Establishment of paved roads to rid the city of the dust nuisance was stressed as a needed project by M.r. Ellertson. Road paving was the project which received the majority of votes in a Rotary poll taken about a month ago, it was reported by I. E. Brockbank. Dr. Fred R Taylor, said that although the Commonwealth fund awarded a hospital this year to a city in the east, Provo stands a chance of getting get-ting a hospital fund next year or later. PLEADS GUILTY Mearle J. Sanford Friday pleaded plead-ed guilty to charges of adultery and bastardy in Fourth district court before Judge Martin M. Larson. He was sentenced to pay the complaining witness $250 and $10 a month for 17 years. Evemiing PROVO, UTAH rn CR Marshal Pietro Badoglio, chief of staff of the Italian army, and Alessandro Lessona, undersecretary undersecre-tary of colonies, were steaming toward to-ward East Africa in the fast liner Conte Biancamano. New Offensive Hinted Badoglio's departure from Naples late last night, without Drior hint of his plan, was believed to ioresnaaow a new, Dig scaie offensive in Ethiopia. What developments were pend- ing nere, me unnea r-ress inror- mant would not say. There was a screen of secrecy as to all official moves in the crisis confronting Mussolini as the result of Italy's formal condemnation by the league assembly. There were many indications, however, that Mussolini did not intend to remain passive under the blow of penalties by league nations. The government is said to be considering secret plans under un-der which if all goes well the penalties themselves would speed a solution of the crisis along unexpected un-expected lines. Penalties Difficult The government for many months has been planning counter moves to possible league penalties. Mussolini has counted on the refusal re-fusal of Austria and Hungary to join in with them. Also, many here foresee that the work of the league penalties committee will prove difficult when it comes to concrete boycotts because of the penalization of foreign importers and exporters no less than Italy by any stoppage of trade.

Anderson and Wallace W Brockbank, principal of the Springville high school, were the speakers at the meeting of the Springville Kiwanis club, Thursday Thurs-day night . J. W.

Specifications Delayed Although the dispatches indicated indi-cated that contracts for construction construc-tion must be signed before December Decem-ber 15, local reclamation leaders took the view lhat repayment contracts with the reclamation bureau was meant. It was pointed out that it would be impossible for the reclamation bureau itself to get the specifications specifica-tions for the Deer Creek project ready for the contractors to bid on by that time. The site of the dam and the type of construction which depends de-pends on the site have not been fully determined.

"If the Greeley Bears, last year title sharers, have left any spinners, spin-ners, reverses, laterals or forwards for-wards out of the repertoire, I failed to detect the oversight. "In Hardin they have the best back in the conference. He reminds re-minds me of Bobby Grayson of Stanford. "There are no flies on our own team. These youngsters make a lot more mistakes while they're learning. But they're going tc write interesting football history for the B. Y. U. before they are graduated." JOHN W. HANCOCK "The way the sophomores sw so the game will go. "I have 18 sophomores in a squad of 25 men, and the B.Y.U likewise has a large percentage of men playing varsity football for the first time this year. There are several good, experienced men on both teams, but is on these sophomores that the trend of the game depends. "As I see it the fortunes of the game could shift easily one way or the other. "The Greeley State squad respects re-spects the Brigham Young team just as I do. Coach Romney always al-ways puts a good, dangerous team on the field, we have found in the past. "They respect them because the know that when a "Y" man tackles them they stay tackled and when a "Y" man blocks them, they stay blocked. "The Cougars beat us 20 to 2 in 1932 and 6 to 2 in 1933. Last year was our best chance to beat them and we aidn't play. "None of our men regard this game with B. Y. U. as a 'breeze' by any means. Of course, we are going out to win. just like the Y' team is, and that's one of the things that will make it a good ball game. "I'll sure it will be a great game of football." B. Y. U. Journalists To Attend Meet Brigham Young university student stu-dent publications will be presented present-ed at the National Scholastic Press association convention at Chicago, October 17, 18, and 19 announces President F.

Before the roar dims into an echo across the green turf and into the orchard below the stadium 22 well trained athletes, uniformed in the white and blue of Brig-ham Brig-ham Young, and the gold , and purple of Greeley State, will mingle min-gle in the grand old game that J.akes the whole nation by its ears "every autumn. Color Galore There will be color galore for the first home game. College songs and yells, martial music, floating banners, and best of all, the brightly garbed crowd, laughing, laugh-ing, yelling and renewing old acquaintances, ac-quaintances, bent on a holiday. Old grads of Brigham Young will mingle with the new students Provo townspeople will shake hands with friends from all parts of Utah county and other parts of the state. The usual scouts from the other conference teams will be there, feverishly jotting down notes tc get a lineup on the Greeley team-which team-which last year tied for the conference con-ference championship, or the "Y" eleven, which occasionally registers regis-ters such amazing upsets and always puts out its share of clever plays. Jammed into the press box will be the newspaper scribes, trying with chilled fingers to pound out a play-by-play account on a perverse per-verse typewriter, sketching the progress of the game on a graph, snatching up a pair of field glasses to find out 'tyho m&dje thai tackle" or telephoning the result at the half. The game itself should be a classic, with two, high-geared offensive of-fensive machines clicking off spinners, spin-ners, reverses, trick passes and running plays. The Cougars are out to stop the progress of Roy Hardin triple-threat back who .won all-conference honors last year with his accurate passing, long kicks and brilliant runs. He led the conference in scoring last season. The Cougars have a set of backs who can click off the yardage also, and who have been trained in a versatile, interesting set of plays. It'll be a ball game! Football Players On State Payroll COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 11 (Ui) A charge that; several Ohio State university football players were on the state payroll was made today by Gov. Martin L. Davey. "We recogntze the fact that football has become the supreme purpose of higher education," the governor said in a statement. "We have certainly done our part, because we have most of the football squad on the state payroll, pay-roll, and we are exceedingly anxious anx-ious for a' most successful season." sea-son."
