Addis Ababa, Sept. 2. Emperor Halle Selassic has ordered the complete mobilisation of Ethiopia's fighting forces. He has com-

Geneva, Sept. 2.

Italy is expected to have reason for gatification immediately the League of Nations Council opens on Wednesday morning. M. Politis, the Greek diplomat and neutral member of the Italo-Abyssinian Concilia- tion Commission, for the first time reporting on the Ualual incident, is said to have completely vindicated Italy, and places the responsibility for the aggression upon the Ethiopian local commander.

As the Negus has undertaken to give full satis- faction if the verdict is against him, it is hoped that this initial success will help to mollify the Italians and grease the wheels of subsequent negotiations.

It was stated last month at the Paris conference that all concerned were willing to concede to Signor Mussolini the Italian control of Ethiopian post offices, police, transport and communication. But I Duce categorically declined these proposals as being in- sufficient.
