Those who are wisest In the ways of war feel that Mussolini is in a very bad 1 ix in c miopia. nis Bni art uen oral de Bono Is sending out glamorous tales of victories to keep the Rome fires burning, but these can not conceal his dangerous p r e -dlcament from tne wary eyes or those In the know here. The kind of PALL IMALI.U.N victories do Bono has been winning against thin air may be all right for the crowds at the bulletin boards In Rome, but the plain Inside fact of the matter is that his unopposed advance will soon cost Mussolini far more than the whole- of Ethiopia Is worth. The wise ones .believe also that the advance to Addis Ababa will require weeks, if not months, and that the war will not really start until Mussolini gets there. Then his lines of communications (for food) will be stretched out more than BOO miles In two directions and Halle Selassie's raiding guerillas will really go to work on them. In fact, the whole campaign sounds like such a foolhardy ad venture that the smartest here sus pect It Is only a little stage pro logue to get things going for a big ger drama to come In Europe. One thing which strengthens this suspicion is the fact that Mussolini has left all his good troops at home. Those In Ethiopia are socond-strlng men with little training. . ' It may seem strange to contend anyone here could have worthwhile knowledge of what la going on in Ethiopia, but there are some who make It their private business to know. They do not know everything, but their studied deductions' are about as good as anything you can get on the subject anywhere. You may accept them as well grounded and authentic. - They see, for Instance, the Inside problem of de Bono. He first moved Into Ethiopia twenty miles snd sat down, although there was no real opposition In his front. Ho had to sit down In order to build roads behind him. He has built plenty ol them, three distinct routes, each about 100 miles, back to his seaport base at Massaua. His further advance can progress no faster than his engineers can construct roads in his rear. Eacn mile he progresses means that he (Continued on Page Ten) MNTINUE HEARING IN SLAYING OF PARENT SAN DIEGO, Cat., Oct. 18.

( AP ) Large Wall street hanks are being deluged with foreign funds. Exact figures on the Influx are lacking, but the fact that gold Im ports since Labor day have exceeded $350,000,000 provides a fair Indica tor. - While most international banking .quarters express the firm opinion that a major war In Europe In the Immediate future Is unlikely, they i acknowledge that the piling up of foreign funds in New York, is quite a clear Indication that Europeon capi talists are fearful. Investments Lure . Of course this inflow of foreign capital Is not due solely to war fears. Part of It represents the sending of money here for investment by for- clgn capitalists who think recovery i prospects .In the United States are brighter than elsewhere. Part of It represents funds from gold standard countries sent here In Tear of currency devaluation at home. As far as the gold movement Is concerned, it is an Immediate reflec tion of exchange operations. When the London gold price, or the ratio of gold standard currencies to dollars, makes It profitable to Import gold and sell It to the U. S. treasury, banking houses automatically under- , take those transactions. , . Much .rrom France But behind the rates' which mako these gold transactions profitable, Is a movement of capital, .not always easy to trace. Much of the gold la coming from France.
