ITALIAN TANKS ENTER MAKALE

CAUTIOUS ADVANCE AT DAWN

BATTLE PREPARATIONS ON SOUTHERN FRONT

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH”)—

(Bu Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages · Ordinance, 1894., Received, Nov. 8, 11 am)

With the Italian Army near Makale, Nov. 8. The advance upon the Ethiopian stronghold of Makale was resumed at dawn to-day. The troops moved forward with the utmost caution despite the fact that advance patrols had already entered Makale and had retired again to report the inhabitants had sur- rendered.

However, it was believed that following the retire- ment of the patrols, yesterday, Ethiopian troops had again entered the city and had dug themselves into strong-points there..

Tanks are protecting the advancing Italian flanks as the troops move up to-day. Two columns of the as- saulting force have now virtually completed their con- fluence, since General Pirizio Biroli's Askaris reached the vicinity of Makale from the direction of Hausien early to-day, after having met with some fairly stiff resistance which was finally overcome by a bayonet charge.-United Press.

CHINA TO RAISE SILVER PRICE?

AMERICA EXPECTS

REVALUATION

NANKING ANXIOUS TO AVOID INFLATION

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...

Senator Pittman said that this ir.ce would be reached within n
