Paris, Oct. 6. Despite Great Britain's refec- tion of Signor Mussolini's bid for direct Anglo-Italian contact and her insistence that the League of Nations should settle the Italo Ethiopian problem, it is learned that M. Pierre Laval, the French Prime Minister, has resumed his efforts to effect an agreement with London and Rome.

It is stated authoritatively that M. Laval IB week-ending in Auvergne and that he has had frequent telephone conversations with Signor Mussolini.

Il Duce is believed to be anxious to re-open three-power conversa

tions.

M. Laval is said to have felt that the situation is now more favourable for a settlement of the Ethiopian dispute. Now that Adown has been captured and the Itallas pride somewhat refreshed, He believes that the Italians felt they needed some prestige and that the Adowa victory may en- able them to obtain concessions and end the war without loss of face-United Press.
