ITALY TO ANNEX
 ALL ETHIOPIA
Will Take Over Kingdom Saturday-AIready Be-
 gins to Clean Streets
(By United PreSS)

Italy, having conquered Ethiopia, was expected today to annex the Kingdom formally on Saturday. The attitude of Rome was that the country now is an Italian posses. sion and that other nations must recognize the fact, although the special rights of Britain and France will be respected. Italian troops took complete charge of Addis Ababa and It's government. The foreign legations beseiged since last Saturday, were safe. Only minor dis order was reported. Premier Bcnito Mussolini proclaimed in an interview that ltaly's colonial desires are now satisfied and that she has no de- signs on Egypt.

 "Of course, none of our evidence connecting the legionnaires with the destruction of the shrine is conclu- sive, but 1t is strong enough to satisfy us that the legion is inc volved," he said. Therefore, we are going ahead with this phase of the investigation"
