Addis Ababa, Nov. 7.
Official sources here deny that Makale has already fallen to the Italian onslaught, though it is ad- mitted that Italian concentrations in the hills over- looking the town are continually increasing.
Meanwhile, it is contended that Ethiopian guerilla fighters are continually worrying the Italians, harrying them in the night and retiring to hiding-places in the bills in the day-time.
Government officials here are unwilling to state whether or not a determined attempt will be made to defend Makale but it seems certain that the entry of the Italians is now only a matter of hours.-Reuter.

Washington, Nov. 7.
Whether China will revalue silver at $1.29 (U.S. currency) per ounce or permanently abandon the silver standard is a question much in the minds of United States officials, who are still awaiting formal notifica- tion of the Chinese monetary decrees, it was indicated to-day.
They believe that revaluation upwards by China, might aid the United States' silver policy but abandon- ment of the silver standard, they feel, might drown the "purchasing programme of the Treasury under a flood
of metal from China..
There seems considerable ground for believing that there is virtual agreement between the State Depart ment and Senator Key Pittman, one of the leading high- silver advocates, that Chinese silver nationalisation is only a first step towards revalution at $1.29 per ounce.
