London, Jan. 9,
The Daily Telegraph's special correspondent at Innsbruck has reported that two Italian soldiers have been killed and several wounded when officers fired on some 500 men of an Alpine Regiment who refused to obey orders to entrain, on their way to service in Ethiopia.
Only eighteen men responded when the troops were ordered to parade. The remainder adopted a threatening attitude and tore down several posters of Mussolini, Italy's "Little Corporal," in their anger.
Upon this, it seems, the officers announced that dissenters, would be entrained under escort.
They could not manage the men. They were finally com- pelled to fire in order to force compliance with their orders.
ANOTHER OUTBREAK
Later, at the railway station, the men dropped their equipment and Ahuated Insults against Mussolini- They bitterly condemned the African war. They did not want to fight in, Ethiopia, they slectared.
It is reported that 1,650 soldiers, called up since the Italians opened their campaign in Elhiopia, have deserted and fled across the border from South Tyrol, formerly Austrian territory, and that they are taking refuge in Austria and Germany.--- United Presa.

VISCOUNT MONSELL ANSWERS NAGANO
SHARP EXCHANGE WITH TOKYO'S DELEGATE
London, Jan. 8.
Japan's 'firm Inaistence on her cardinal demand for recognition of a common upper limit for the navies of the great powers, has brought the Naval Conference here to the verge of complete breakdown.
The Japanese attitude is responsible, too, for sharp ox- changes between Viscount Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Admiral Osami Nagano, respectively heads of the British and Japanese naval delegations to the conference.
At the opening of proceedings, Admiral Nagano stated that he was not prepared to discuss other plans until quantita- tive limitation and the common upper limit question were settled. Admiral Nagano said that in his opinion the French suggestion-for-a-plan whereby an exchange of information relating to proposed building should be adopted, did not constitute quantitative limitation of naval armaments.
