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.

(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."

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."
