Rome, However, Stressed Fact that Move Was in Very Earliest Stage and It Would Be Erroneous to Say Anything Definite Had Yet Developed or Any Great Optimism Prevails\u2014 Plainly Stated Any Plan Broached Must Be Concluded Within Framework of League of Nations.London, October 21.\u2014Authoritative quarters dropped hints today that a new plan for peace in the Italo-Ethiopian conflict had begun to crystalize at Rome, Paris and London as the result ol easing of tension in those capitals over the week-end.These quarters emphasized, however, that the move was in the very earliest stage and it would be erroneous to say anything definite had yet developed or any great optimism prevailed.It was plainly stated that any plan broached must he satisfactory to Ethiopia, Italy and the League of Nations, and ultimately must be concluded within the framework of the League.Sir Samuel Hoare, British Foreign Secretary, was expected to make some reference to the peace development tomorrow in a speech in the Commons, which, it was expected, will be a very important declaration on the international situation.Autlhoritative quarters declared they were \"quite pleased and satisfied\u2019\u2019 with Saturday\u2019s note from Premier Pierre Laval, of France, widen was considered a restatement of France\u2019s friendship.«- 1 & KING WINTER INVADES WESTERN CANADA.Winnipeg, Oct.21.\u2014 Western Canada was becoming wintry today.Throughout the whole of the southern stretches of the Prairie Provinces and jutting into northern sections lay a blanket of snow discolored by showers of rain.Temperatures were moving downward and cool weather with additional snow flurries was the forecast for another twenty-four hours.The coldest spot on the Prairies yesterday was Battleford, Sask., with ten degrees of frost.Most other points showed temperatures slightly below thirty-two, freezing point.Except in northern Saskatchewan, rain or snow or both fell during the weekend.»- SUPPRESSION OF TAXES WAS WISE GESTURE Aduwa, Oct.2\\.\u2014Suppression of taxes in occumeo territory has done more to win .the native population to Italian support than the abolition of slavery, although one quarter of the people were slaves, Havas learned on a tour of the northern Ethiopian front today.BRIEF REVIEW OF UTEST DEVELOPMENTS IN CRITICAL EUROPEAN SITUATION The dangerouÊ Eurofpean situation eased over the week-end and it was reported from London reduction in the British naval forces in the Mediterranean and reduction of Italian forces in Libya facing Egypt might be considered.Premier Laval, receiving endorsement of his peace policies in Senatorial elections, was said to have received suggestions from Mussolini with respect to peace.The Ethiopian legation in London warned Mussolini use of poison gas and duim-duon bullets would result in unfortunate consequences, definitely threatening Italian prisoners.Rome officially announced ihe death of fourteen native troopers in an attack on Dagnerrei, a village in southeastern Ethiopia, near Gerlo-gulbi, on the We the Shibehi River.From Mogadiscio, Italian Somaliland, a delayed repot't said forces under General Rudolfo Graziar.i on the southern front wiped out strong Ethiopian forces in the Dajanere region near the Wehbe Shibeli.Slight flank advances cn the northern front strengthened the Fascist line, extending seventy miles from Aduwa to Aksum, and it appeared the zero hour for another considerable advance was near.The League of Nations politely asked the United States what was its attitude toward the embargo and boycott against Italy, handing to Hugh Wilson, official observer at Geneva, a copy of the proceedings of the sanctions committee.FRANCE\u2019S REPLY ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY TO BRITAIN *- London, Oct.21.\u2014Conversations between Britain and France and also between Britain and Italy have eased the dangerous international tension of last week.The British Government, it is understood, regards the French Premier Laval\u2019s reply on naval assistance in the event of an attack by Italy as entirely satisfactory.Italian press attacks on Britain have suddenly ceased.At the same time it is indicated the improved understanding with Italy may be underlined by: 1\u2014\tReduction of the Italiar.forces now concentrated in Libya near the border of Egypt.2\u2014\tReduction of the British navai forces in the Mediterranean.No definite decision however has yet been reached on either of these points.While tension between Britain and Italy is relaxed, statesmen still face the main problem\u2014the restoration of peace between Italy and Ethiopia.During his interview with Mussolini, Sir Eric Drummond, British Ambassador at Rome, made reference to peace overtures, but no concrete plan was discussed.British officia! circles continue to emphasize that the three parties now concerned in the African war must be equalk- concerned in the terms of any peace settlement\u2014the Ijeague of Nations, Italy and Ethiopia.Premier Laval\u2019s lengthy note to Britain will not he published, was announced here.In it he answered the British query whether France \u2022would stand by her obligation under the Covenant to assist a League member attacked while applying League sanctions against an aggressor nation.In addition to giving an affirmative answer, it is a frank interpretation of the French attitude since the beginning of the dispute and in the British view removes all misunderstanding.BRITISH VIEW IS CRISIS MERELY SUSPENDED RATHER THAN SOLVED Observers Believe It Highly Questionable Whether Nations Could Stand Another Critical Period as That Which Has Just Passed\u2014Within a Month New British Government Is Expected to Be in a Position to Carry Through Any National Policy Considered Necessary.SMITH\u2019S FALLS BOY IN HANDS OF KIDNAPPER Police Today La\u2019inched Widespread Search for Eighi-Year-Old Gordon Taylor, Who Mysteriously Disappeared Over Week-End.Smith's Falls, Ont., Oct.21.\u2014 Police today launched a widespread search for eight-year-old Gordon Taylor, said to have been kidnapped Saturday from the farm home of his grandfather, Del Kane, near Framk-town.Farmers, aroused over Ihe boy's disappearance, joined in a search of the countryside after being informed the boy had \u2019\u2019 een seen last on the outskirts of Smith\u2019s Falls in company with a transient who had worked two days for Kane.Police said they did not know the transient\u2019s name.They described 'him as five feet, six inches tall, dark haired with a scar on his nipper lip.Î THE WEATHER Î *-* OCCASIONAL SHOWERS; COOLER.A moderate disturbance is passing rtheastward across Lake Superior, lile pressure is high over the iritimes and New England states io over a large part of the liorth-ist portion of the continent.The ather has hern cold in the West cr the week-end with snowfalls in berla and in southern districts of skatchowan and Manitoba.It has en unsettled with rain in north stern Ontario with fair weather >m the Lower Lake reg-ion east-rrl.Forecast : Fair and mild, followed showers late tonight; fresh east southeast winds.Tuesday\u2014strong Ithwest to northwest winds; iudy with occasional showers and coming cooler.London, Oct, 21.\u2014 Competent&-British and foreign observers took the view today that the European crisis was merely suspended rather than solved.Even though re-affirmation of Franco-British friendship and- assurance to Italy that the British fleet would not act independently I had cleared the air for the moment, 'officials returned to Downing Street ; facing a still critical international i situation.Observers believed it highly ques-jlionabk whether the nations could stand another critical period such as | that which just passed.| That situation was relieved tem-porarily by Premier Laval\u2019s assur-:ance\u2014with reservations\u2014that the French fleet would go to Britain\u2019s aid in the Mediterranean in case of an unprovoked attack.The assurances of Sir Eric Drummond, British Ambassador, in Rome, to Mussolini that Britain\u2019s great fleet in the Mediterranean would not take an isolated action likewise were helpful.Britain did not, however, indicate the slightest intention of surrendering its historic strategic control of the sea routes to India.Within a month\u2014after the general election\u2014the new British Government is expected to be in a position to carry through any national policy considered necessary.The whole campaign carried on at Geneva will he continued on the basis of a collective League of Nations\u2019 programme of sanctions for limiting the scope of Italy\u2019s East African adventure.Should the League fail, Britain would he in a position to act alone, although no responsible British statement, as Prime Minister Baldwin had indicated clearly, has the authority to say what such a course would be.LAVAL WANTS TO BE SURE OF HELP AGAINST GERMANY Paris, Oct.21.\u2014Premier Laval was reported in unofficial circles today to have received suggestions from Premier Mussolini for settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian war.The Premier was said by these sources to be awaiting the-debate in the British Parliament this week before submitting the suggestions to London.Officials declined to comment on the report, although they said \u2018\u2018the greatest problem now seems to be to get Emperor Haile Selassie to accept Italian terms.\u2019\u2019 Premier Laval held a virtual vote of confidence to proceed in his troublesome diplomatic tasks.After winning two seats and a double victory in the Senatorial elections on Sunday, he enjoyed a sheaf of editorial congratulations on his peace-seeking methods.A member of his staff, however, said he failed to see how that, would rescue Ethiopia from Italy\u2019s campaign of conquest.This authority conceded Laval\u2019s role as mediator was a hard one, particularly if he submitted to London a suggestion for an Italian mandate over the Ethiopian lowlands, with economic ami administrative control over the rest of the country.Officials generally agreed the atmosphere had been cleared of distrust for ten days of negotiations before the deadline set by the League of Nations for economic and financial sanctions.Vet, they considered Mussolini certain to refuse to relinquish any occupied territory.Their quandary was how to satisfy him and yet save the League's face after calling the offensive in Ethiopia a violation of the Covenant, \"The danger for Europe is not Continued on Page 2.NOTED BRITISH CRUSADER FOR PEACE IS DEAD Arthur Henderson, President of World Disarmament Conference Died Without Knowing His Dreams for World Peace Had Been Shattered.London, 0:t.21.\u2014Arthur Henderson, the seventy-two year old British statesman, who won the Ncbel Peace Prize in 1934, as bitter as he was an implacable foe of war, died without knowing his great dream of world peace already had been shattered by the boom of guns in East Africa.Attaches of the west end nursing home where the president of the World Disarmament Conference died last night disclosed today that Henderson\u2014whose indefatigable crusade for peace was inspired by the death of his eldest son on a battle field of the Great War \u2014 had not seen a newspaper fo.six weeks before he expired.Nor had he been told of the mounting European crisis for fear the shock would prove too great.The King and Queen had sent a message of solicitation during his illnesst and today scores of the Empire\u2019s leaders now intent on forging Great Britain's foreign policy where he left off in 1931, when the Labor Government fell, paid him tribute ! as a gentle, beloved idealist who was known as \u201cUncle Arthur.\" The one-time iron moulder, who rose to become one of the builders of the British Labor Party, trod the world\u2019s stage as a disappointed but indiscouraged advocate of world disarmament.His health undermined, his path strewn with difficulties, ha carried on with little show for three years his labors in D'e cause of peace, confident, he sain, \u201cthe conference will go on to reach an effective convention.\u201d Henderson was Foreign Secretary when the Council of the League of Nations elected him president of the Disarmament Conference, but he was neither a Minister nor a Member of Parliament by the time it met in 1932.The .National Government landslide in 1931 rust him his seat in the Commons, and left, only the remnants of the party he had helped to build.He threw himself into his new task, and in September, 1934, in an attempt to relieve himself of heavy responsibilities, resigned the secretaryship of the Labor party\u2014a position he had held for twenty-five years.He as born m Glasgow, September 13, 18(13, into a poor family.As a youth he was apprenticed to the iron workers' trade in Newcastle and it was through his trade union that he climbed into national politics and prominence.By 1903 he was mayor of Newcastle, The next year he was elected to Parliament, holding the sent until 1918.He was defeated in the \"khaki\u201d lection of that year along with most of the other Labor party candidates.But he came back in 1922.Henderson was first made chairman of the Laliof party in 1903, and in 1914, when pacifism forced Ramsay MacDonald out of politics, he again took the reins.Joining the war-time coalition government, ho.became president of Continued on Page 2.I \u2019 KING IS BUSY PREPARING TO TAKE

Beauharnois, Gatineau, Ottawa Valley and Maclaren-Quebec power companies was amended in the committee stage so it would not become legal until proclaimed by the Lieutenant-Governor.The three-man Hydro

Roebuck and Highways Minister McQuestion, last week recommended unanimously the Act be.proclaimed.11 was believed the committee\u2019s uecision followed completion of a conversion system at the Chats Fads plant making it possible to do without Quebec power in eastern Ontario.Of the cancellation, Mr.Lyon said in his week-end announcement: \u201cIt is a very serious matter involving ?300,000,000 end the Commission and the Government are treating it as such.\u201d He added that on the day the contracts are declared invalid the Commission will be in a position i to supply all its essential services in the Niagara system without Quebec current.No representations had been received from the Power Bondholders\u2019 Association, the Premier said.This body last week evolved a scheme for refunding bonds in the power companies.SEIJSSiE IS READY TO SUE FOR PEACE, ITALIAN ARMY IS ADVISED Lhfre ^3S ^een Confirmation of Report, However, Military Plans of Italian Army, Which Call for Drive of Italian Somaliland Forces Northward of Gorrahei in Ogaden Province, Will Proceed Unaltered\u2014Capture of Gorrahei Would Strengthen Italian Position.Ashmara, Eritrea, Oct.21.\u2014The Italian army today received reports that Emperor Haile Selassie is ready to sue for peace.Authorities said, however, there was no official confirmation of the report and that military plans would proceed unaltered.Present plans,- these authorities said, call for a drive of the Italian Somaliland forces northward on Gorrahei, in Ogaden Province.The capture of Gorrahei would strengthen the Italian position already 'improved by the seizure of the fortress of Dagnerrei last Friday.ETHIOPIAN LEADER SENDS STRONG GUARD NORTHWARD Addis Ababa, Oct.21.\u2014Three detachments of the best trained and best equipped troops in the Ethiopian army left Dessye today to advance northward by three different routes.This advance guard is equipped with machine guns, sub-machine guns ami anti-aircraft guns, as well as wireless equipment, permitting them to maintain communication with headquarters.An Italian aerial bombardment to stop the advance ami prepare for an attack on Dessye was expected.Bombing planes appeared near' the capital during the week-end, While Italians build roads in th& occupied territory.ten thousand Ethiopian workers are busy improving the road from Addis Ababa to Dessye, so troops and supplies can move northward more quickly, The Italian column cut off yesterday in the Mount Mussa Ali region has been completely encircled, it was reported here today.From six hundred to seven hundred white soldiers are involved.This group of fighters left Eritrea at the same time as a provisioning force, the fate of which is not known.One dispatch said that two hundred of its guards had been killed or wounded, hut confirmation was lacking today.MANY ITALIANS BLINDED BY DEADLY DUPHOBIA CACTUS Addis Ababa, Oct.21.\u2014A belief that Premier Mussolini may try to initiate direct peace negotiations with Emperor Haile Selassie, using Count Lugi inci-Gigliucci as an intermediary, strengthened today as the Italian Minister remained here eleven days after being handed his passports.Count Vinci-Gigliueci's altitude in continued defiance of the ultimatum that he depart perplexed Govern- Continued cm Page 2.URGES CHURCH LEADERS TO SUPPORT LEAGUE AS BULWARK OF PEACE.Canterbury, England, Oct.21.\u2014The Archbishop of Canterbury announced' today he has appealed to Pope Pius XI and will appeal to other church leaders in Europe to support the League of Nations as a bulwark of peace.The Archbishop, who has been outspoken in condemning Italian invasion in Ethiopia, declared before a diocesan con-ference,' \u201cdefence of the Covenant of the League is in truth defence of peace.\u201d The Archbishop, attacking I Italy\u2019s invasion of Ethiopia, | declared : \u201cIf there ever was an act of I unprovoked aggression, surely I I it is this.\u201d He expressed indignation at | ! \u201cthe great European powers 1 î which signed the Covenant of ' ! the League of Nations and the | ! pact of Paris treating the e | 1 solemn obligations with cynical !

use of \u201cghastly ' methods\u201d of poison gas bombs and ! dumdum and explosive bullets.The Legation stated that Italy\u2019s use of \u201cunfair and ultra-civilized methods of warfare,\u201d of which the Legation says it has impartial substantiation despite public denials by Ambassador Dino Grandi of Italy, \u201cwill lead to the most unfortunate consequences, not only to Italians, who will, of course, deserve it, but to all white peoples as well.\u201d The whites, the statement said, \u201cwill be intensely hated by all the peoples of Africa and, we think, of Asia aiso, foi years to come-.\u201d The statement said: \u201cWe take the opportunity hereby to warn the Italian forces if they continue to use ghastly methods against simple, unarmed peoples that, notwithstanding the order of His Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, it will not be possible to restrain the wilder and bereaved section of the Ethiopian army from retaliating in some similar savage method on Italian soldiers who may happen to fall into their hands.\u201d The statement began by mentioning that the Italian Ambassador had \u201ctaken the trouble once more to repudiate the charge that the Italian forces in Ethiopia have been using bombs containing poison gas and dumdum and explosive bullets, broadcast not only on the Ethiopian troops but on women, children, and animals.\u201d As to this statement, the Ethiopian Legation declared: \u201cThere is the impartial technical evidence of a foreign observer who substantiates the charge.We are obliged to submit that the public denial of His Excellency, the Ambassador, is based on incorrect information.\u201d The legation\u2019s statement ended \u201chumbly and earnestly,\u201d begging the Italian Ambassador \u201cinstead of troubling to deny what is true, kindly to be so good as to advise his people to fight fairly if they must fight a brave, unarmed people.\u201d The statement refers to the Ethiopians as \u201csavages\u201d who only know fighting bravely with ordinary weapons and as man to man and who never kill women, children, or ani* mais.\u201d SERIOUS FOREST FIRES RAGING IN NEW YORK STATE Albany, N.Y., Oct.21.\u2014The New .York

front.The ghost sovereign, whose full name is Likamokwas Haile, dresses exactly like the Emperor, wears a false beard and carries an imperial red umbrella in imitation of former kings who regarded a parasol as an.indispensable adjunct to battle.The umbrella was intended to attract the attention of the enemy to Likamokwas and to divert notice from the real Emperor who dresses in plain raimant and occupies a protected position while the enemy is attacking.Legend.has it that failure to provide such a double cast emperoj costs his life.WINTER OFFERS NEW THREAT TO \u2019QUAKE VICTIMS Accelerated
