Tho Ethiopian northern army. reinforced by regular troops from Addls Abalia equipped in Ellropoan style, appeared determined to give battle in an attempt to turn the Italian flank.

ISSUES OOMIMUNIQUE '

An Italian military communique siated:

"The an. cuncement of the ap- proach or enemy masses toward the Takkaze line and of the encount- ers brave'y fought by our advance posts on the Makale front and at the lords of the Taklrase river constitutes a prelude to battles of varying intensity.

"The adversary will attempt an outfianklng movement, probably in order to lessen the prezsuro which tile movements of our troops an rlccentuaiing in various directions." Asserting the Ethiopians are now strongly armed, the communique said Europeans had equipped a munitions factory at Addis Ababa to manufacture hand grenades, air- plillle bombs, cannon, anti-aircraft projectiles and other war materials.

(By Guardian's Special Wire) LONDON, Dec. 4. - The Labor party, its membership in the House of Commons strengthened by last month's general election, today served notice of the line of attack against the government it will foi- AW in Parliament‘,

An amendment t0 the address in reply to the Speech from the Thron; was approved by the party. It will be moved Friday by David R. Gren- fell, member for Cvlamorganshire- Gower.

As debate on the speech continued in the House today, Jock McGovern, fiery Independent Labor member from Glasgow, attacked the means- test. -

“No means test is applied to members of the Royal Family," hs said. "Wily should it be applied to the workers of the country?"

The Labor amendment reads as follows: "This House regrets the failure of His Majesty's advisers to indicate an effective policy for the restoration and maintenance of peace, the reduction of armaments by international agreement and the removal of the economic causes of \var;_the failure to recognize the need to plan the economic life of the country on the basis of public ownership in order to abolish pov- erty in the midst of plenty; the omission of adequate proposals for dealing with uneruplcyment includ- ing the abolition of the means test. and for dealing with the distressed areas and the Just claims of tho miners for an immediate increase in wages."

Favors Joint Note

Laval is said to favor s. Joint note in the belief a further sign of Franco-British solidarity would make Il Dune more willing to dis- close his desiru.

Although it was suggested in some quarters that Laval might ask for a. week's delay in applica- tion of the oil embargo, an in- formed source said "the embargo undoubtedly will be imposed."

Differences of opinion existed

between French officials and oer- tain diplomats as to the possibil- ity of a territorial concession to Italy to end the war. Officials said the League could grant Italy nothing but economic advantages under an international u-QTBGITIEHE. A spokesman for diplomatic circles. however, said Laval will try to se- cure an agreement with Sir Sam- uel upon how much Ethiopian territory could be offered Musso- lini as a basis for peace. ' A split between British and French experts who are working to evolve a peace plan was re- ported, throwing the problem back to diplomatic heads. ThePrench were reported to favor giving Ii Duoe temfory in Northern and Southern Ethiopia now occupied by his troops, but the British consid- ered this too generous.

It was believed that efforts to reconcile these differences would be made at the meeting in Paris next Saturday of Sir Samuel l-foare, Foreign Secretary, and Pre- mier Laval of France.

A new indication of the import- ance of the Hoare-L/aval meeting was seen in reports that several foreign office officials would ac- company Sir Samuel to Paris.

Significance was attached here to a meeting irl Paris late today between Italian Ambassador Vitto- rio Cerruti and M. Laval, and to a conference here between Dino Grandi, Italian/envoy to London. and Sir Robert.‘ Vsnslttart of the foreign office.

I41 KEGS 0F RlIM SEIZEIJ BY R.ii.iil. PiiilfiE

141 five gallon kegs of rum were seized by the Mounted Police yes- terday in an old lobster factory used as a storehouse for lobster traps and. bait at Stanhope Cape near the ell- trimoe to Covet-lead Bay.

The liquor, valued at about $3,000 at the ship side, was cleverly con- cealed for the time when ice forms on the North shore and prevents “supplier? from being landed. Cor- poral Leo Bradley and Corlstablas N. A. Shaw and Pat Morris found the rum in the old building early yesterday afternoon and brought it to the _city where it was stored in the customs warehouse. Lobster mp8 were used to help hide this kegs from the eyes of the casual ob- server. The “hide“, however, was not proof against the keen eyes of the Mounties. The seizure yester- day was the second large one to be made in Queens County within two weeks. On November 23 the police found 1B6 kegs at ‘rracadie.
