CcontInusd from Page i.l

NSopunueo from Fabe v 1.--Formal salute to the Italian lag.
 s.-~Formai diplomatic apology. 4.-Appointmen of a mixed commission to delimit the Abus- sinian Italian Somaiiland frontier. ss--lndemnity for the attack. b.---A guarantee that the from tier would be respected. As mobilization proceeded, Ital. ian outposts in Bomaliland re- ported that 30,0O0 Philippians were massed on the frontier where prep- aratious for war seemed being | rushed.
 Mussoilni appointed General Rus dolph Graxiani commander of the Italian expedttionary force. He ig 63, and former vice governor of | the Cyrenaica Colony in Africa. General Emilio Dc Bono, high commissioner for the colonies of Eritrea and SomalIland, will be iD general charge.
 Graxiani has had much colonial experience and succeeded, in crush. ing rebellion in Libya--a difficult operation involving desert war. fare. UTAil recently he commanded an army corps in tho Udlne area on the Austrian frontier. It was believed that Italy would demand from Abyssinia money indemnity of S6,000,000, with part of which provision would be made for families of Italian native sol- diers killed by tribesmen. The money might be used to repair damage to Italian outposts also, unless specific demand were made for compensation as regards them.
 The indemnity demand was based on q computation of 200 men [ killed, with a demand for 1000 Abyssinian thalers, about $500 for each man killed and 150 thalers, about 875 for each man wounded. In token of the manner in which the government regards the pos sibiIity of long fighting, officers for the expeditionary force are being recruited on the basis of two years service.
 Mobilization of 100000 men, ready for any eventuality, proceed ed quietly. A hundred airplanes. sent to Eritrea on the east coast of Africa within the last month. awaited orders ready to form the vanguard of an expeditionary force to avenge attacks by rowing Abys. siEin tribesmen on Italian native troops in disputed territory to the south bordering on Italian Somali- land.
 UltimatuIn Likely
 The foreign office prepared to dispatch an uItimatum to Emperor Selassle, unless complete saIsfac- tion was given to an angry dipIo- rnatic protest against the Somali- land attacks.
 It ws indicated that this uIima. tum would give the Abyssinian government a fixed time of a few days to meet Italian demands that It's tribesmen be punished, failing which an Italian expcditionary force would proceed to subdue the trjbesmen.
 Preparations for Q punitive ex. pedition--it seemely unlikely that the government would think it necessary to declare formal war; continued with Fascist efficiency.
 In all,, the colonial troops and white units in tho colonies will be reinforced, under the initial pro- gram, by perhaps 100000 men from Italy unless the situation is resolved peaceably.
 Air Marshal Italo Balbo, high commissioner of Tripolitania in northern Africa, has been sum- moned to attend the meeting of the supreme war commission.
 Time Is Very Near
 The time for an ultimatum was regarded as near, 1t was indicated. The attack which angered Musso- lini to the extent of taking war like measures occurred January 20, when 1t Is charged, Abyssini- ans attacked Italian, native soldiers at Afdub in the disputed territory between Somaliland and Abyssinia proper.
 A spokesman for the Abyssinian legation said that fin event of an invasion Abyssinia would defend itself 10 the last with general mo. bilization of an army of nearly 100000 men.
