Paris, Oct. 13.
In anticipation of raising the arms embargo against Abyssinia a number of ships carrying 3,000. of war materiai mostly ammunition. machine guns and rifles, left Fronch ports within the last fortnight, and are expected to arrive at Djibouti shortly. For the transport to Addis Ababa, it is understood that insurance, which. amounted to thousands of pounds was taken up in London.
Only a small amount of arms has been shipped to Italy from France up to now, and the embargo against Italy is not likely to make much difference to trade of war materials. But large orders have been placed for other goods for the Italians in East Africa.
