"The committee is marshaling a
force in the South which it believes

ment."

mittee, is a Democrat of Houston, Tex.

GENEVA, September IA R.-Word
of Italys rejection of any "compro-

pute burst like a hand grenade today
In the assembly of the League of
Nations.
The news came as an impressive
procession OF great and small powers,
including Soviet Russia and the Do
minion of Canada, proclaimed from
the platform their fidelity to the
League covenant.
Shortly afterward the Ethiopian
delegation submitted a detailed an
swer to the charges contained in the
Italian memorandum laid before the
Council last week by Baron Pompeo
Aloisi.
The answer asserted that if condi-
tions in Ethiopia were really even
"one-tenth as bad" as the Italian
complaint asserted, foreign legations
in Adds Ababa long ago would have
made a Joint protest to the civilized
world
Conditions Held "Barbar0uS."

of a hundred British warships-about
the third biggest navy afioat il COM
pared with the entire fleets and
strength of the United States and
Japan-were believed by diplomats to
be concentrated tonight in the serene
waters of the Mediterranean.
Their officers, bent over navigators'
charts, awaited developments in the
Ethiopian crisis.
Dangerously near, it appeared from
reports, were about $50 units of the
lighter Italian navy, ready to lend
their force to the declaration of the
Italian cabinet that 1t was prepared
to meet any resistance that might be
offered from whatever direction to II
Duce's moves.
Picl. of Ships Assembled.
Since the first of September the
pick of British fighting ships have
been assembled in this troubled sec
tion.
Belief of the diplomatic observers
was that more than IS British fight
ing ships we're gathered at Alexandria,
Port Said, Malta, Gibraltar, Port
Sudan and Haifa, while 10 more were
cruising in the Mediterranean and a
feet of about 25 ships, which sailed
from Portland August 81, and was
presumably still at sea, could have
been concentrated in the vicinity of
the Mediterranean.
Nearly another 100 units Of the
British home feet were standing by at
Portland for maneuvers announced to
start Tuesday in Scottish waters.
Naval men, however, observed that
this feet could receive sudden orders
to change its plans and reach the
Mediterranean in from three to five
days.
10000 Regulars in Egypt.
According to the latest published
lists, there were approximately 10000
British Army regulars in Egypt, 2,60S
at Gibraltar, 3276 at Malta, and ST.
900 troops in India. 1t was known,

been steadily concentrated at Malta
for a fortnight.
The exact number of British fight
ing planes concentrated in the Medi-
terranean and North Africa was not
known, but there have been new air
units arriving during recent weeks.
The ships-now being referred to
among naval men as the mystery fleet
which sailed from Portland August
81. steamed out for exercises, accord
ing to the British admiralty's list of
ship movements. At the head of the
SQUADRON were the battle cruisers Hood,
Renown. Orion, Achilles and Cairo.
accompanied by about 20 destroyers,
minesweepers and miscellaneous craft.
Five Cruisers Reported.
With the exception of the five cruis-
ers, which showed up at Alexandria
September 8 and sailed again for an
unannounced destination, the entire
feet had been unreported since on the
admiralty's list.
Admiralty officials said today the
Hood had returned to Portland, but
