ROME CABINET CALLED

TO FACE CRISIS

London, May 21. The Foreign Office has received a report from Djibouti stating that the British Warrant Officer Bonner, who was attached to the British Red Cross Unit in Ethiopia, has disappeared and no trace of him can be found in Diredawa.

The British Consul at Harrar, who was instructed to make immediate inquiries when Bonner was allegedly arrested by the Italian authorities, approached the Italian command recently and received small satisfac- tion.

He was first told that Bonner was a member of the armed forces of Ethiopia and had therefore been arrested.

But the next day the Italians stated that Bonner had disappeared from Diredawa two nights previous.

No further information has since been received.
