Addis Ababa, Sept. 15.

With the end of the rainy season less than a fort- night away, public uneasiness is brewing, especially in foreign commercial services, at the prospect of an Italian invasion..

An air raid on Addis Ababa, directly hostilities begin, is feared, in the event of failure of peace efforts. Precautions have already been taken to protect the

The tone of Sir Samuel Hoare's and M. Laval's speeches at the League Assembly is welcomed here, but it is considered that the time for speeches and negotia- tions is over, and that the best thing to do is to prepare thoroughly for the "inevitable" war.

GERMANS FOLLOW PEACE PATH

NAZI DECLARATION OF POLICY

WARNING TO LITHUANIA GIVEN BY HITLER

Nuremberg, Sept. 15.

Chancellor Adolf Hitler, before the greatest rally of the Nazi party ever achieved, to-night reiterated Gormany's love of peace; but in the same breath de- clared that Memel had been robbed by Lithuania and that Germany must pay attention to the situation there.. He appealed to the League of Nations to prevent things which might be regretted by all concerned, and the tribunes cheered with one thunderous voice.

A storm of cheering greeted Der Fuehrer as he entered the temporary Reichstag Building, which was decorated with masses of flowers and swastika flags. Thousands of red and white carnations, gladioli, ferns and shrubs adorned the building. The chairs were covered with red plush and the wooden tribunes and the gallery were smothered in red bunting. The swastika was everywhere.

Two searchlights picked out the platform where the party of leaders, Herr Hitler and his chief lieutenants, sat at a long red-draped table, with two microphones facing them.
