The campaign in Ethiopia went on with sporadic fighting on north- ern and southern ,fronts. The It- alian high eonunand claimed a viclory on the Somalllsnd front in which 800 Ethiopians were said to be dead. The invaders numbered l7 dead and 68 wounded.

Scattered skirmishes with Ethi- opians were reported .from the north. The Italian troops were said to have pushed their outposts nearer l0 Amba Aiaii, their next objective, 40 miles south of Mabale.

An official Ethiopian‘ commun- ique from Addis Ababa charged

Jithlopian women, including nuns

and the wives of priests, had been assaulted by the Italian soldiers. But a chemical expert said he had found no evidence Italy was using poison gas or dum-dum bullets. The Bank of France boosted ite- rediacount from three to four per cent, hoping to halt a new outllow

To Ask Maritime Trade Board’ To

A resolution asking the Federal. government {or improved harbor facilities in- Charlottetown will be presented by the local board for the approval of the Maritime Board of Trade at the convention to be held in Haifax next week, it was decided at a meeting of the Board of Trade council yesterday after- noon. A committee consisting of Dr. J. A. Clark, J. O. Hyndmsn and R. R. Bell was appointed to draft the resolution. The support oi the Maritime Board in pressing for improved train service between Ssckville and Charlottetown will also be asked by the local dele- gates at the convention.

Mr. J. O. Hvndman. chairman of the harbor improvement commit- tee, of the Board of ‘rrade, in a short verbal report on the activi- ties of his committee stated that this appeared to be an opportune time to ask for harbor improve- ment snd strongly urged that the government be passed to follow up the survey that has already been started and have it completed at the earliest possible date and nec- essary modern docking facPii-ies provided. Charlottetown can then become a. port or call for large boats. There are immense possibil- ities here for increased shippinl and tourist trade if the harbor were improved and that, w. Hynd- man went on to say, was one of the recommendat‘ of the Dun- can Commission.

Messrs. It. ll. Mulch, W. L. Hi8- gins. W. I’. Tidmersh, Major '1‘. E. MscNutt, ll. T. Hlggs and Dr. Clark- all spoke briefly in support of Mr. Hydnmank suggestion that the Board urge that immediate steps be taken for the improvement

Quiet Restored In Cairo Following Fa- tal Clash Between Police And Demon- strators.

CAIRO, Nov. Ill-Quiet was re- stored to Cairo tonight after anoth- er fatal clash between police and demonstrators.

An Egyptian student was shot to death and three other! were wound- ed by a British police officer, an of- flclal announcement said, when a force of 200 armed police halted an advance on Cairo from nearby Gila of 11000 Eflutiane, armed with sticks.

This brought to four the number oi dead since yesterday's anti-Brit- ish demonstrati broke out, and the wounded to I50.

Warning Shots Fall

Warning shots failed to halt the advancing Ekyptians outside the city, the official statement said. Blmbashl (captain) Lees of the po- lice force was knocked down. He then fired from the ground, bring-

ing.down four Egyptians. one of them fatally wounded. Carlo was quiet tonight. There

were few signs of yesterday's ten- sion. Armed police patrolled the streets of the city. Officials said the situation was "under control."

Most of the injured were mem- bers of the strong Wafdi party, which in an “Independence Day"- meeting yesterday -‘ -‘ ’ the resignation of the government‘ and an end to British “d0mination" here. Most of them were suffering from gunshot wounds in the legs and cracked heads.

Heated Speeches

Fanned by heated speeches st. a hllse mass meeting here, the disor- ders in which Egyptians ilsshed with authorities spread to neigh- boring smaller towns. _ Police shot into a crowd at Tantah, killing one and wounding three.

(British officials in London said that although the government took a serious view of the outbreaks, the situation was “well in hand" and did not 8-5 ‘yet call for action on the part of London).

The Wafdis party announced it would refuse to cooperate with the soveriiment or British authorities unless Prime Minister Tewilk Nes- slm Pasha resigned. Opponent; M. cuse Nessim of being s. "tool" or Grcot Britain.

F e e l s Postponement 0f League Action Would Lead To Ear- lier Conciliation In African War.

(By John Evans, Copyright 1935 by The Associated Press) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) ROME, Nov. 14-Earnest efforts by Pope Plus to obtain postpone- ment of sanctions in the interest of world peace became known today— four days before (the League of Na- tions ‘and Italy are scheduled to raise their economic draw-bridges. But despite the Holy Father's hope that 51 world powers will de- lay their stiff economic boycott of Italy because the Fascist state has made war 0n Ethiopia, sanctions general! were expected to become effective next Monday.

To MakeRcprlsals

And, as each country closes its commercial gates, Italy will reply with a like barrier. If a nation en- forces sanctions only lightly, Italy will respond in the some measure. Usually well-informed ecclesiasti- cal clrcules said the Pontifl was fully cognizant of the shortness of time intervening until the date which the League has set for up- plication of its sweeping punitive measures which are designed to cut short the African war.

But, these oources added, he was nevertheless confident something might be done. He has influential agents in many countries. in France, particularly, the Papal Nuncio has become extremely ac- tive in presenting Vatican views to Premier Laval.

Papal View

Furthermore, His Holiness was said tc feel that postponement of sanctions would not only avert world economic disorder, but would increase greatly the prospects for settling the war through collapse of Ethiopian resistance.

Labor trailed with less than half the government total, while the opposition Liberals were routed. their leader, Sir Herbert Samuel, and their two chief whips going down to defeat.

Last night's count gives the fol- lowing popular vote by parties: Government:

Sixty seven former Labor M.P.'s who lost their seats in 1931 were included in the results. 0i’ these 37 will return to Parliament, 30 being defeated. Labor's strength appeared to be midway between that of 1929, when it was strong enough to form a government with Liberal support, and 1931, when it was overwhelmed by the National government parties.
