Geneva, Oct. 2. The text of the Ehiopian Em- peror's telegram is being circulated to all members of the League Coune with the u.most urgency. A meeting will probably be called very soon. It is possible to sum- non the Council at any time, as the Commitee of Thirteen which meets to-morrow to hear its re- ports, comprises ail the members of the Council except Italy and Ethiopia, and in order to constitute a full Councli ft" is only necessary to summon these absent members. The Italian delegation is at pre- sat in Rome, except for miner officiats.
