ITALY'S ATTITUDE LESS HOSTILE

LIKELY TO ATTEND LEAGUE MEETING

ABYSSINIA WILL FIGHT IF INVADED

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinanco, 1894. - Received, July 15: 8.30 am)

Geneva, July 14.

If a meeting of the, League of Nations Council is called on July 24, it is learned here that the Italian Government will in all probability send representatives.

The authorities in Rome are adopting a less hostile attitude towards the League of Nations feeling that Great Britain is unlikely to insist that League action be taken against Italy in the event of a war with Abyssinia.

Italy considers she has a very strong case to put before the League and will probably move that Abyssinia should be asked to relinquish League membership.-Reuter Special.
