Rome, Feb, 18... While Italian troops are allegedly moving to the south of Italy in preparation for swift embarkation to Africa in the event of future trouble on the Abyssinian frontier, diplomatic conversations are going forward in Rome where the Abyssinian Charge d'Affaires has been working with the Italian Ministry for Fireign Affairs to discover a solution to the border problem.

Signor Fulvio Suvich, the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and the Abyssinian Charge d'Affaires M. Ghevre Jesus, to-day were in conference from morn. ing until night.

Later, both expressed the hope that the issue: which has threatened to throw Italy and Abyssinia into war, might be amicably settled.
