RUMOURS
DRAFT OF TREATY SAID TO BE INITIALED
London, Jan. 5. '.
Unomelal but rellable British sources have informed the United Press that Germany and Japan have initialed a secret military alliance.
The alliance is said to be principally directed against Soviet Russia and has been in existence for the past three months.
The report is entirely unconfirmed by official quarters, and is denied in some.
Nevertheless, it is said that the German and Japanese general staffs have reached a military agreement, if not an outright alliance.
Such reports have been recurrent for the past two years, It is recalled, but never has there been such foundation for the belief in their truth.

RED CROSS HEADS KEEP NEUTRAL ATTITUDE
Geneva, Jan. 5.
The International Red Cross here has declined to issue any information whatever on the bombing of Red Cross units in Ethiopia by Italian aeroplanes.
The International Red Cross takes the stand that it wishes to remain neutral as between Italy and Ethiopia and will there- fore contribute nothing to the cause of either side by making statements at this functure.
This statement has caused considerable surprise here since it is felt that it will be difficult for the Red Cross to remain. neutral if it is proved that its flag has been violated-Reuter,
