Adowa was occupied by Italian troops at 10.30 a.m. yesterday, according to an official com- munication issued here in the afternoon. Signor Mussolini telephoned the news to the King of Italy, who is staying at his estate at San Rossore. The Duce also telegraphed the commander of the Italian troops in East Africa, General de Bono, declaring that the capture of Adowa filled the Italian people with pride and joy.

The report does not require unanimity or even a majority vote of the Assembly, hot, each country voting for it pledges it- self to adopt the automatic consequences, like sanctions.

Rome: The country is more occupied with military develop- ments than the Leagne, and is calm in the face of the possibility of sanctions.
