ITALIANS WALK OUT OF COUNCIL SESSION

CRISIS SUDDENLY Death Roll

CONCILIATION NOW MORE DIFFICULT

ETHIOPIAN ATTITUDE OFFENDS ITALY

Geneva, Sept. 5.

In the middle of a violent speech by Professor Jeze, the French spokesman for Ethiopia, the acting chief of the Italian delegation to Geneva left the League of Nations Council Chamber to-night.

The Council had reassembled at 7.10 p.m. and Baron Aloisi, the chief of the Italian delegation, was absent when Professor Jeze commenced to place Ethiopia's case before the gathering and to answer the charges made the day previous by the Italians. The spokesman was violent in his language, and Signor Guido Rocco, the noted diplomatist who was acting for Baron Aloisi, left the Council table.

The fact that he walked out of the Council hall must not be interpreted as a serious political move. does not mean that Italy will leave the League.

The Question Committee ad- journed until to-morrow, pending private negotiations. Owing to Italy objecting to the presence of the British and French probably a smuller Committee will be constituted which may be an nd- vantage, as it will enable the British and French to conduct negotiations outside the main Committee, which will be kept in- formed of their progresa.

The Council ndjourned at 10.23 p.m. and no dute was set for its next meeting.

Washington, Sept. 6.

Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma to-day indicat- ed that the Senate was pledged to an inflation drive by a unified action on the part of the silver, farm and bonus blocs which will open as soon as Congress re-convenes in January.

He said that the fight would be waged around the Soldiers' Bonus Bill, the Frazier-Lemke Farm Mort- gage proposal and the remonetisation of siver
