Rome, Oct. 3. It is stated authoritatively that the Italians intend to advance without a declaration of war, insisting their action is due to the aggressive attitude of the Ethiopians, which endangered the two Italian colonies of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland.
It is learned that. Signor Mussolini feels relieved now that this step has been taken. He has been attempting to advance his African programme without endangering the European peace." Observers declare that he has been single-handedly opposing world-wide opposition and that he has decided to fight his way out or die in the attempt, hoping that Anglo-French inter- vention will not destroy him and the peace of Europe.- United Press.
