London, Oct. 22.

FIGHTING FRONT ALL QUIET
ITALIANS SCOUTING FOR ENEMIES
NO CONCENTRATION YET FOUND NEAR MAKALE
Asmara, Oct. 22.
Many here believe that it will be the end of November before a big battle is fought on the northern front, failing a diplomatic move for settlement of the whole trouble meanwhile.
The Italian military staff is unaware of any Ethio- pian concentration in the region of Ambaalagi, to the south of Makale, and believe concentration such as would be required if the Ethiopians seriously.considered an offensive would take a month at least to complete, owing to the lack of communication and the absence of transport. The question of a food supply for a great army would have to be considered also, and there has been no sign of activity in this direction.
The Italian aerial reconnaissance, however, continues to be most active, and flying officers have located columns, presumed to be commanded by Ras Kassa, marching north from Addis Ababa to join Ras Seyoun's troops in the defence of Makale.
