It is learned that at to-morrow's meeting of the Non-Intervention Committee, M. Yvon Delbos, French representative, may charge Italian regular army pilots with killing women and children behind the Spanish battlefronts.

This charge is designed to force Signor Benito. Mussolini into a conciliatory position.

The Spanish Foreign Minister, Sen. Jose Giral Tokyo, Oct. 19. Pereira, has sent a message to M. Delbos from Valencia "It is not a bad idea to participate in which he says: "Torty-eight hours after the atrocious Germany, Italy and Portugni will sup-bombardments, of Gijon, Portbou, Barcelona port the Japanese attack in an anti-Valencia, German and Italian aviators bombarded the
