Rome, Oct. 15.
It is believed the Metauro Division of the regular army recently shipped from Naples, and ostensibly bound for East Africa, has now been sent to Libya. The division has been moved with great secrecy and haste.
Italian forces in Libya are now believed to amount to four divisions.

Rome, Oct. 15.
It is learned in unimpeachable quarters that a division of 17,000 Italian regulars and several bombing squadrons have been despatched secretly for the Libyan frontier, making a total of 50,000 Italian troops sent into that area since the British warships commenced their concentration at Alexandria, and other points in the Mediterranean.'
The Italians explain the military activity in Libya as being purely precautionary, that they may be prepared for possible Italo- British conflict.
This news is interesting in low of the report from British sources in Alexandria that 10.000 Egyptian tribesmen had offered to defend the country in the event of a clash with Italy, provided they were allowed to use their own methods of warfare.
Thirty British warships have departed on manoeuvres but will return at the week-end, it is added..

There are indications, mere whisperings as yet, of serious differences between the British and French views with respect to the European crisis arising out of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute.
Well-informed quarters to-day professed ignorance of the reported French request that Great Britain should remove her Home Fleet units from the Mediter- ranean. In official quarters it was emphasised that Britain's attitude was unchanged and that, the Italo- Ethiopian dispute was now in the hands of the League of Nations.
Moreover, Britain' had already assured Italy that she had no aggressive intentions in the Mediterranean, it was recalled.—United Press..
Paris, Oct. 15. "We are astonished and shocked by the apparent hesitation and egotistical considerations which seem to characterise the French conduct in affairs in Europe," -is-the statement attributed to Sir Austen Chamberlain
in an interview published by Le Soir to-day.

He emphasised that Britain was actuated by the League Covenant, and not by any special interests. If other nations signatory to the Covenant failed in their obliga tions at this decisive hour, he declared, Britain would consider herself relensed from her oblign- tions in Europe-Reuter Special.
