A new nnd Immense struggle
over the Utility Holding-company
bill Is believed to be an Imminent
probability, especially In view of
a Baltimore federal Judge's de
cision that tho whole act . Is un
constitutional. Some officials of the securities
commission are known to bcllovo
that the Baltimore result will
stiffen the resistance of tho utll
itlos Industry, and that most of
the holding firms will refuse to
register with the commission at
the deadline, December 1..
It this should be tho case,
practically the whole vast Indus
try would be arrayed In deter
mined resistance against the act
which grow out of the Roosevelt
administration's attempt to "sim
plify" the holding company set
up, to eliminate holding firms
doomed "unnecessary" and to

The Italians made two important conquests in Ethi

Makale on the north.
In another military movement they drove "deep" in
to the region leading to Lake Tana, in which Great
Britain is interested because it feeds the river Nile.

plete. .
In capturing Gorrahei,
strategic center, the south'
ern Italian army has remov
ed another stone from its
path toward Harar, the
walled city of Ethiopia.
Makale, like Aduwa, Aksnm
and Adlgrat before it, fell with'
ont resistance.
Swaggering In the ran of the
invading troops was Ras Halle
Selassie Gugsa. the Benedict Ar
nold of Ethiopia. He went
straight to the castle of former
King John for Makale was once
a royal seat- end "established
himself by right of might as gov
ernor of the rich Tigre province.
Treachery Is Rewarded
There was unconcealed Joy
among the ras and. his tribesmen
who in being permitted to be
the first to enter the town were
honored even above Mussolini's
own favorite Bersaglierl, from
whose hats gaily flutter the
feather of cocks. Thus Is Gug
sa's treachery rewarded with
victory.
The Italian flag was raised
above the fort of Makale the
fort from which in 189S it was
torn down by triumphant Ethi
opians. The soldiers of Rome,
now moro than 100 miles deep
into tho black kingdom of
never-conquered Ethiopia, took up
fortified positions on the south
of the town, looking- toward new
objectives.
Italy StIU Unchallenged
The continued refusal of the
raw meat-eating, fight-loving
Ethiopians to challenge the Ital
ian advance means that Emperor
Selassie has a definite strategy
arranged, a strategy that calls
for pitched battle under condi
tions and on terrain which he.
and not the Italians will oboose.
When will the signal be given?
Is the frail, bearded king of
kings still pinning his hopes up
on the League of Nations upon
Great Britain to strike some
blow that will suddenly nullify
all of Mussolini's gains?
Salt Market JNcarby
Or is he convinced 'that with
his million men-at-arms he can,
at the right moment, make his
tory repeat Itself, and cut to
pieces the Invaders?
Below Makale lies Ambaalgt,
the kingdom's chief salt market.
It nestles In a mountain pass a
thousand feet above the Bur
rounding plains. It is accessible
to the Italian northern army
only over a narrow trail.
The son of Emperor Selassie
returned from Dessyo and re
ported to his father of the prog
ress of war preparations there.
It was after his return that re
ports grew In the Ethiopian cap
ital that the time for the king's
departure for the front was Im
minent. King's Foresight Noted
There was talk, too, that Se
lassie was ready to make his son
a king so that should he himself
full in battle his kingdom would
still have a lender. It Is within
the power of the emperor, who
is king of kings, to elevate others
to kingship If he wills.
Tho crown prince, Asta Wosan,
Is 20 years old.
The Italians' southern army
has not reported any Important
movements In several days.
Many thousands of Ethiopians
continue to move southward to
meet these soldiers.
A nrlnee of Egypt, the nephew
of Egypt's King Fund, Is moving
toward Harar Ethiopia's only
walled city at the' hcod of an
