Addis Ababa, Oct. 3. The Italians are reported to be continuing their advance across the fever-ridden plains near Mount Moussaali, but without encountering any resistance.

It is stated authoritatively that the Italians intend

It is learned that Signor Mussolini feels relieved now that this step has been taken. He has been attempting to advance his African programme without endangering the European peace. Observers declare that he has been single-handedly opposing world-wide opposition and that he has decided to fight his way out or die in the attempt, hoping that Anglo-French inter- vention will not destroy him and the peace of Europe.— United Press.

DEBATE

Geneva, Oct. 8.

Events to-day outstripped even the accelerated procedure of the League of Nations and the Committee of Thirteen found itself confronted with a situation with which it was unable to deal.

It was therefore decided to convene a meeting of the League Council on Saturday morning. Meanwhile, the Committee of Thirteen will inform the Ethiopian Government that in view of the latest development the despatch of neutral observers to watch the frontier, and to decide which side first took the offensive was no longer necessary.

There is confusion in Geneva from the fact that Italian and Ethiopian reports conflict directly. The Italians insist that the report that Adowa was bombard- ed by aeroplanes is unfounded. A verbal message to this effect has been sent to the League Secretariat.
