Thomas ITALIANS INFLICT HEAVY LOSSES ON (Continued from tsge One) munitions of war, the president warned Americans they traveled the ocean on Italian or Ethiopian ships at their own risk. With these 'proclamations,' the president fulfilled his obligations under the recent congressional neu trality legislation. But he went further. He declared Americans who engaged in "transactions of any character" with either Ethiopia or Italy "do so at their own risk. This Is a distinct reversal of American policy. In the past, the United States has always maintained the right of neutral citizens to "freedom of the seas' for commerce with belligerents. The presidential declarations the first in which any official quarter directly stated a state of war exists between Italy and Ethiopia were happily received by League of Na tions protagonists In Oeneva. Effects Italy Only They looked upon the American stand as a form of sanctions. Inasmuch as Ethiopia has no mer chant marine, the effect of the American policy falls on Italian ships. In Ethiopia, the first major bat tle of the war a war without the benefit of a declaration of war on either side was In the making. Aduwa has fallen. The main Ital ian army of 75,000 on the northern front occupied this northern met ropolis yesterday. It was here that, 40 years ago, the Ethiopian warriors slaughtered the Italians in Rome's first con quest of Ethiopia. The first Italian columns occu pying Aduwa brought along a mon ument, erected It In the center ot the town. -On It were the words, engraved weeks ago in anticipation of the capture: "To the fallen heroes of Aduwa." Prepare For Big Battle While consolidating their position about Aduwa on the plateau along the rim of vast mountainous area the Italians were prepared to meet the main column of Halle Selassie's warriors. The Ethiopians were some twenty miles away. The battle may come at Makale, 30 miles to the soutb and east of Aduwa. The Italian army In the north was divided. The right column was entrenched about Aduwa. The left held Adlgrat, to the east, which also fell to the Mussolini legions. An Italian communique, distrib uted in leaflets dropped from air planes, declared the northern Tlgre province, of which Aduwa is the metropolis, had been lost to the Ethiopians. "I assure , you the Italians have no hatred against the Tigre people," the leaflets said. "Their enmity is only against the government of Ad dis Ababa." Leaflets were dropped on monas teries and churches, declaring Halle Selassie had abandoned the Christ ian churches. The Italians reported results from such phychologlcal maneuvers. Priests Submissive As the armies passed through tribal towns, civilians with priests at their head carrying crosses greet ed the troops and dipped the crosses to the ground as the sign of sub mission. Tigre province, to the north, lies against the Red Sea Italian province of Eritrea. From all indications, Mussolini's plan Is to join Eritrea with Italian Somaltland. Between the two, on the coast, are French and British Somallland. To unite them, the Italians would have to take a strip of Ethiopia from the south to the north along the eastern border. i elicate- Jhe flavor lasts Schilling' Are you worrying over past due bills?

The Italian column In the south (In the desert province of Ogaden). was approaching from Italian Som allland today and was ncarlng Oer logubl, about 60 miles from Walwat, scene of last winter's border dis pute which precipitated the current crisis. Ethiopians Mass The Ethiopian warriors were also massing In the desert province. In the eastern area, the Italians have a force near Mt. Mussa AH, Just across the Eritrea border and up against the boundary of French Somallland. The advance of the Italians from the south, north and east was look ed upon In Addis Ababa as In ac cord with Ethiopian strategy. The plan of Halle Selassie was ' to fall back In the center, let the I Italians take their revenge for their defeat of 40 years ago, let them ad-1 vance through the southern desert and then engulf them with hun-1 dreds of thousands of black warriors, j The departure of Halle Selassie I to the front, probably the northern ' front at the first, appeared lmmln-1 ent. It was said the emperor woulo j personally lead a force of 120.000 i Into the northern area within two j weeks. j "It took the Italians three days ! to take little Aduwa," one of the! emperor's aides declared. "It would take them 30 years to take Ethto-1 pla." Peace Rumor Heard In the midst of these prepara tions, the rumor of an offer ot peace terms by Italy created a short lived flurry of excitement. The ru mor arose In Addis Ababa. An aide of the emperor, asked it the report was true, aald "Almost." In Rome, however, government of ficials said peace terms were farth est from their thoughts. One official declared: "Our cam paign has Just started." Italy celebrated the victory of 11 Duce's Roman legion In the north ern Tlgre province. Thousands of the fasclstl paraded with banners: "Aduwa Italian again . . , Aduwa Italian forever . . . Aduwa today, Addis Ababa tomor row." Feelings of gloom, fears of Euro pean war, prevailed In other capi tals of Europe, particularly London. British Melancholy The British press forecast the arms embargo against Ethiopia would be lifted when the cabinet meets Wed nesday. British circles were taking a melancholy attitude toward the proceedings at Geneva, especially with the action of Premier Laval in soft-pedaling the question of se vere sanctions. London felt the league would adopt only Innocuous financial sanctions. The principal French development was the ordering of colonial -troops from Somallland to leave for Derl dawa, 100 miles In the Ethiopian Interior. The troops will guard the Franco-Ethiopian railroad center there. The road runs from Djibouti, French Somallland, to Addis Ababa. It Is Ethiopia's only railroad to the outside world. In Paris, the directors of the Suez Canal company convened to con sider a report of International law yers. This report, it was authori tatively understood, concluded that the canal would not be closed to Italians In the event the League ot Nations Imposed sanctions against Italy. The canal is a commercial ven ture. Britain owns 44 per cent of the stock. The bulk of the rest Is held by French nationals. . An attitude for quick peace In Ethiopia prevailed In Paris. The In fluential newspaper, Pelt Parlslen. appealed to the league to continue negotiations, . For some time, the view has pre vailed among foreign observers Mus solini would be ready to talk terms if and when he occupied sufficient of the border territory In Ethiopia to appease the colonization senti ment at home.
