Fourteen Foot Drifts Block Highways-M Below Zero Re- corded.

WINNIPEG, Oct. Sit-One of the worst October storms in years moved eastward into Manitoba tonight, loav- ing behind it one dead, piled snowdrifts in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and heavy damage to shipping and crops on the Pacific coast.

Crisp clear weather fol- lowed the storm except in Manitoba where whistling winds brought a cold drizzle ‘that froze as it fell. Snow was reported at scattered points and temperatures were tumbling. _

The sleet dragged down telephone and telegraph wires and made such com- munication ,difficult. Re- pairmen were busy restoring circuits. Even wild game had difficulty, Ducks were reported unable to» fly be- cause of ice on their wings.

One death occurred in British Columbia when the storm disrupted shipping. Two fishing boats were still unreported after being miss- ing 24 hours. Another was believed to have sunk, leav- ing no trace of her crew.

Potatoes Frcacn

Hundreds of tons of potatoes in the Chilliwack district were frozen and in the Lower Fraser Valley, tomatoes and grapes suffered heavily. No damage estimate was available. The minimum temper- ature in Vancouver was 23.9 above zero, lowest October reading since the all-time record of 22.9 degrees established in 1905. '

At ‘Saskatoon s. blizzard left snow more than a foot deep and high- ways lay under deep drifts. Warm- er weather appeared in the offing however as the storm lifted. Snow fall continued at Prince Albert but temperatures eased and highways were reported passable.

The work of opening up snow- clogged highways went forward in southern Alberta with cessation of a two-day blow. Fourteen foot drifts were tackled by plows on the Medicine Hat-Calgary high- way and this morning all roads out _ of Calgary were reported blocked. .

In northern Alberto the temper- ature dropped to five degrees above zero with continued snow. Hudson's Hope in the Peace River area re- ported 24 degrees below zero, two degrees warmer than yesterday. A dozen other Alberta points had below-zero readings.

Sees Benefit

SASKATOON, Oct. Sit-Great benefit to western farmers was seen by Dean A. M. Shaw of the College of Agriculture, University of Saskatchewan, today as result of tho 63-hour snowstorm that swept Alberta. and. Saskatchewan.

The unfrozen ground will absorb the moisture if the snow thaws.

MIHSSBLINI STRENGIHENS siA;ggivlR

Passes Decree To Arm Merchant Marine - Organizes Women To Combat Sauc- tions.

By John Evans, Associated Press I-‘orcl stat! (By Guardian's Specia Wirel

ROME, Oct- flit-Premier Muss- olini, in two emergency, war-like de- crees, drafted 1taly‘s womanhood u. fight League sanctions and ordercd' tonight a census of the Mercantilcl Marine to determine the strength of the naval reserve. '

Italy's merchant ships will be armed, if necessary, said the decree. In well-interned circles belief was expressed that by this step Il Duce intended to groom his sea-power in the event of a possible war in Eur-

ope.

All shipowners and captains were told to be ready to give information about their vessels to a mixed com- mittee from the navy, war and wmmusiications departments.

Those ships designed as naval auxiliaries will "carry defensive arms" in case of war, the decree stipulated.

The decree divides the command of the entire Merchant Marine be- tween government departments. ‘Ihe navy will be in absolute command of armed auxiliaries and the com- munications department may com- mand "traffic ships" until these are needed by the navy.

A commission of experts was pro- vided to estimate Italy's Mercantile Marine resources and make use of them in case of "war." The ‘new law requires that owners and cap- tains of all ships cooperate in the work.

To the housewives he entrusted the task of feeding their families on home-grown food making ex- ports from sanotionist countries unnecessary. War mothers and widows were chosen to direct the "house by house" organization. By this Ii Duce wanted the allied countries of the Great War to realize their sanctions are striking at the families who fought for them.

"inhuman" Attack

An official spokesman, at the same time, called sanctions an "inhuman" attack on Italy's civil population.

The national army of woman will be directed by I1 Duce him- self, through the Fascist party. An official announcement called it a. “house by house organisation of defence reprisals against sanc- tions." Reprisals, although they were not specified. were under- stood to be a refusal to buy pro- ducts from "enemy" sanctionist countries.

‘This step followed an order by Il Duce yesterday placing food restrictions. especially around meat, and directing other econ- omies.

Other restrictions will be im- posed as organization work pro- coeds and the need appears.

Joint Action In Mediterranean i Decided Upon

Full Co-operatibrTIn Navy, Army

And Air Planned. Mussolini Urged To Modify Peace Propos- als On Eve Of League Meeting.

(By Richard G, Massock, Associated Press Staff Writer) (A. P. By Gvuardianh Special Wire)

PARIS, Oct. {IO-British and Frency navy, army and air leaders were reported in official French circles tonight to be planning full cooperation in the Mediterranean Sea by France and Great Britain.

_ High quarters said French army and air chiefs would JOIIi naval experts now in London, where a plan will be worked out with British officials for joint action under

Article XVI of the League of Nations covenant,

(This

article provides for sanctions against an aggressor nation.) This development came just after a conference be- tween Premier Laval and the Italian Ambassador, Vittorio Cerruti, in which Laval was reliably reported io have made it clear that terms for peace in the Italo-Ethiopian con- ’ flict must come from Premier Mussolini of Italy and must

be submitted to the League.

MUST LIMIT ‘DEMANDS

Laval was said to have (old Cerruti that Mussolini must scale dawn his demands before any plan of settlement can hope to succeed. British circles said Anthony Eden, British Secretary for Issaguc

Affairs, was taking to Geneva for the

acting of 52‘nstions tmiorrovl

a "basis" fbr peace discussions, acceptable to both France and Britdn. However, they believed it would have little chance of acceptance by Emperor Hallo Selassie and Premier Mussolini, and would be submitted solely to “keep the door open" for negotiations at Geneva.

.1

Modification of I‘ Asked

Informed quarters said Laval in-

dlscussed at Geneva. It was be- lieved this meant Italy could not be given more than a kind of “leace" on the outlying territories in Ethiopia, while the interior highlands and the cities of Aksum_ and Harar would remain under the control of Hallo Selassie. French quarters asserted Great Britain would like to delay nego- tiations for settlement until after elections in Britain, Nov. i4. British circles said Sir George Russell Clerk. British Ambassador, obtained a summary of France's views in a talk with Laval after the Premier conferred with Cer- ruti.

'I'l1e political writer “Per-tinax." in an article said Laval had given formal assurance in a note to London last Saturday that the French army, navy and air forces would assist Great Britain in the event of an unprovoked attack on the nation.

He said Britain was expected to shift two battleships and several cruisers from the Mediterranean, but declared: "In a crisis, Franco- British solidarity would not be limited to the sea, but would be extended to the land and air."

Military Cir-operation

General Maurice Duval, writing in the Journal des Debuts, allud- ing to plans for Franco-British military cooperation. said the two countries “must take info account

Just what they may expect from the League, for it is only a scarc- crow without military value. an imaginary monster designed to scare children."
