Nanking, Nov. 26.
The Nanking Government has taken steps against the Autonomist Movement in the North. It has abolished the| Peping Branch of the Military Council and has transferred the responsibilities formerly held by that body to the Military Affairs Commission at Nanking.
Nanking has appointed General Ho Ying-ching, the War Minister, the Executive Yuan's High Administrative Commis sioner at Peiping, where he will shortly proceed from Nanking.
General Sung Chch-yuan, meanwhile, has been appointed Pacification Commissioner of Hopei and Charher.
The Nanking Government has also Instructed the Hopei Provincial Government to dismiss and punish General Yin Ju- keng, leader of the autonomy, movement.- -United Press.

Mogadiscio, Nov. 25.
An Ethiopian column, commanded by Ras Desta Demti, brother-in-law of the Emperor Haile Sclassic, has been annihilated in the Upper Juba region of Italian Somaliland. Apparently the Ethiopian column was attempting to attack this seaport and cut the Italian communications at their very base.
The operation threatened General Graziani's advanced forces in the Webbe Shibeli and Fafan Valleys and the Italians brought all the force they could muster against the daring Ras Desta.
Aeroplanes first spotted the Ethiopians advancing. They commenced to drop upon the marching men a veritable avalanche of high explosive.
The Ethiopian army, says the despatch, was literally blasted off the landscape.
