Great indignation has been aroused in Italy by the publica-| tion of a report in the Giornale| D'Italia, Mussolini's organ, from its Paris correspondent, alleging that France, with the adherence} of Britain, has sent Austria an unusually strong Note regarding Arms Movements.
It is stated that the Note was despatched as a result of the dis- covery made that a large number of rifles and machino-guns had been sent to the Austrian arms factory at Hirtenburg from Italy for re- conditioning.
The Paris correspondeht declares that the French Note voices the alle- gation that these arms were intend- ed for the accret arming of Aus- trian Fascista,

London, Feb. 17. The Earl of Lytton's views on the ability of the League to bring pressure upon Japan in the event of a rejection of the Assembly's recommendations were not cor. rectly represented in the sum mary of his remarks given on Wednesday.
