The dispatches said the Italian- trained natives occupied Debra. Sion and Tccla-Aimanot (not shown on maps). The first Eritrean advance column began _iis drive from Ed- agahamus, a village about 50 miles north of Makale.

The troops were reportedly re- ceived as "liberators" by.the Ethi- opians, and the correspondents said "not a shot" was fired during the advance.

The dispatches did not confirm reports circulating here that the combined Italian forces in north- ern Ethiopia were participating in the march on Makale.

The Eritrean troops under Ital- ian officers advanced to occupy the Fares Mai River region.

Forces under Gen. Rudolfo Graz- iani in the south are driving for-- ward to Mogclo, halfway to Addie Ababa, and to Sass Bench, half- way to Harar. Harcr has been designated as» the meeting point of the northern and southern armies.

Loan Half Subscribed

Financial experts said his huge 01370000000 lire, five per cent conversion loan was half subscribed and was certain to yield him the 10000000000 lire (about $800,000,- 000) in fresh money which Fascist leaders have estimated as the eventual total cost of the conflict. Italy, disappointed that Great Britain has made no move to re- duce the strength cf her Mediter- ranean fleet, last night announced a huge appropriation to bolster her own navy.

A government decree authorised 441,000,000 lira (about $85,731,000) as an extra appropriation for "new construction and transformation of naval craft."

(LS. To Remcziin Neutral ln_ Italo-Ethiopian

(By Stanley P. Richardson Aa- sociafed Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Oct. ill-The

United States has reaffirmed- its stand of independent neutrality toward the Italo-Ethiopian war, while expressing “sympathetic in- forest" in efforts by others to bring a halt to armed conflict.-

In a formal communication to the League of Nations Saturday, Secretary of State Hull gave this reply to an invitation to com- ment upon the program of sanc- tions against Italy and to outline steps taken by the Washington Government. -

Carefully, Hull refrained from making any direct cornmittments on the league's efforts to halt the African conflict through economic pressure In fact, the “iuterest“ expressed in halting war was so drafted as to apply to any or all wars.

In substance, the United States reply to the League's communi- cation was a summarization of steps taken by the Government under the neutrality law. To this was added a reiteration of Am- erica's intention to remain un- involved. and of its desire for an early halting of hostilities.

‘In the lengthy note Hull said:

"Realizing that war adversely affects every country, that It may seriously endanger the economic welfare of each, causes untold human misery, and even threat- ens the existenoe of civilization, the United States, in keeping with the letter and spirit of the pugs of Paris and other peace oblig- atlons. imdcrtakea at a.ll times to not only exercise its moral in- fluence in favor of peace througli- out the world. but to continue in every p-acticabie way within the limitation: of our foreign policy to that end.

"It view: with sympathetic in- fiereat the individual or concerted efforts of other nations to pre- serve peaoe or to localliw and shorten the duration of war."

special circumstances presented. “The course thus pursued in ed- vance of action by other govern-

and affirmative policy Government of the United States and indicates its purpose not to be drawn into the war and its de- sire not to contribute to a prolong- atlon of the war."

Calling attention to the Hague convention of 19M for the pacific settlement of national disputes, the Pact of Paris, in the negotia- tions of which the government of the United States played an im- portant part, the anti-war pact signed at Rio De Japeiro and other conciliation and arbitration pacts to which this government is a party, the Secertary observed:

“These instruments of peace im- pose upon all nations parties there to most solemn responsibil- ities, and no nation can look with complacency upon their non-ob- servance."

He emphasized that the U. S. Government had "put forth every practicable effort to aid in the preservation of peace" betvreen It- aly and Ethiopia.

"When. however, it was found that hostilities existed between Ethiopia and Italy," he added. “this government. acting or. its own lntiiative, promptly an- nounced a numbu“ of basis me- asurea primarily to avoid beins drawn into the war, and which also would not be without effect in discouraging war."

Calling attention to his recent

tatement supplementing Presid- ent Roosevelt's warning to Am-

erican business men that any transactions they have with the belligerent coun rles will be at

risk, Secretary Hull quoted his own obm-vatinn that the President's statement "cer- tainly wss not intendedtoencour- age transactions with the bellll- erents," and added:

“This policy with respect to transaction with the belligerents I now reiterate and reaffirm."
