London, May 9.
A crowd of 10,000 persons jamming the Albert Hall cheered Lord Cecil when he declared the League of Nations must maintain sanctions against Italy, and even intensify them if necessary,
Speaking at a meeting called by the League of Nations Union, Lord Cecil declared he never remem- bered an occasion when the people of Great Britain had been more moved than in this Italo-Ethiopian crisis. Never had there been such a demonstration of feeling since the death of General Gordon, he believed.
He referred to the Emperor of Ethiopia as an heroic figure, deserted by those he trusted, preferring exile to dishonour."
While there was a shred of hope for: the re-establishment of the Emperor, they could not recognise any other Government in Ethiopia, which was still a member of the League and entitled to the joint protection from League states which she was promis ed, he asserted.
A resolution was ineved by an Clement Attlee, bender of the Opposis tion in the House of Commons, silem- - ming his party's support of the Lan- gue and the principle of collective

Addis Ababa, May 8,
The German Minister here has paid an official visit to Marshal Pietro Badoglio, the Italian commander-in- chief, which is considered tantamount to official German recognition of Ethiopia's colonial status to Rome.
Meanwhile, several Legations, including that of the United States, have asked the Italian High Command to provide armed guards to protect their property. Marshal Badoglio has consequently despatched troops with orders to "clean out" all armed bands of Ethiopians. --United Press.
GRAVE DISORDERS
London, May 8.
Sir Sidney Barton, the British Minister at Addis Ababa, has reported grave disorders, including looting and burning and shooting, preceding the Italian -occupation of Harrar, and following the flight of the
Ethiopian commanders.
Conditions in Harrar apparently were a duplication
of those at Addis Ababa which occurred in the interim between Emperor Haile Selassie's departure and Marshal Badoglio's arrival.-United Press.
Consul's Report
London, May 8, Grave disorders are reported from Harrar in an offlcini despatch from the British Consul there.
The town is in the 'grip of rioters, and lasting and burning is proceeding. The British Consulate Guard, con- sisting of Somaliland police, are
endeavouring to help the Ethiopian Governor keep order until the arrival of the Italian troops.
Up to yesterday evening neither the British Consulate nor the adjacent hospital, where Swedish and Finnish doctors are tending wounded, had been attacked..
