Addis Ababa, To-day..

Seated at a desk littered with papers and telegrams in the ground floor study of his ultra- modern palace, the Negus received a represen- tative of Reuter in an exclusive audience, no one else being present. The Negus, attired in a handsome black cloak, pooh-poohed the corres- pondent's excuses for his grey flannels, saying that the times were too serious to find about clothes.

Replying to a question concerning his movements in the erent, of war the Negus said: "Our traditions require me to be Caramander-in-Chief of the Army. Although deeply attach- ed to the cause of peace I do not intend evading my sacred duty of leading our armies in defence of our liberty and territory.”

Rome, To-day. While Italy is mobilising a large army the Government is relying for success on the air Intensive training is being carried out in Sicily with a special new high-speed plane capable of carrying 500 2-pound bombs, either of tear gas or the deadly chlorine mustard gas, or special shrapnel bombs,

It is understood that the opening campaign is intended to overwhelm, Abyssinia with a massed air attack of 400 planes, using tear gas. If pushed to it they will use poison gas, but they are anxious to avoid this in view of world opinion and humane reasons, as they do not wish to antagonise the popula- tion, whom they wish to colonise on friendly terms.

The Ita- lian troops are being provided with a specially designed fight gas-mask

Fifty high-speed planes, already manufactured in the Fiat works, are being used for practice, and 200 more have been or- dered. They are two-engined machines capable of 300 miles
