LEAGUE IS VERY
 MUCH CONFUSED

Geneva, May 2-(UP)-The re- ported departure of Emperor Halle Selassie from his capital to escape the advancing Italian army con- fused League of Nations officials who found themselves apparently defending 6 non-existent govern irent today.
 International observers remarked that the league never had faced more complicated dilemma, in- volving as 1t does choice between abandoing its, campaign against Italy, c nation which 1t has ad- Judged an aggressor, and creating the dangerous precedent of trying to help sovereign who may bo fleeing from his territory.
 Possible Italian capture of Adds Ababa and assumption of Ethiopian control also raises the question oi the stand of the United States and other nations who have signed cov- enants pledging themselves against the recognition of any territory gained by force, as in the case oi Manchukuo and It's non-recoenition by the United States.

 make a dramatic appeal to the League of Nations Council, at it. meeting May II.
 May Go To Britain
 This was doubted here. It wal believed, instead, he would take refuge on British soil.
 The emperor told United Press Correspondent Ames yesterday:
 T am quitting Addis Ababa, but that is not significant. I shall es- tablish new seat of government and shall be in communication with the outside world. l shall never enter direct negotiations with the Italians for peace-only through the League of Nations. Ethiopia IS not suing for peace. l VIII never surrender--jamais!" '.
 Ames reported then that the wireless station would soon close
 The British legation compound is a short distance out of the cap- ital on It's eastern side. Since the war started, the British government has been strengthening It. The sikhs rushed there from India all are picked fighting men of the army. They have put many miles of barbed wire ef1tanglements ro,,nd and rolnd the walled com pound. Thousands of sand bags were sent to the legation from Egypt and the Sudan ana nlieo to provide additional protection against fire from the outside.
 All with Him
 British information indicated that the emperor was accompanied not only by queen Mennen and the little Duke of Harar, his second and Ia yorite son, and the emperors daugh- ters, but by Asea Wosen, the crown prince. If the crown prince accom- panied him, this would smash 1tal- ian hopes that, often regarded as estranged from the emperor. he might submit and Do a puppet under on Italian overlordship.
 It was rumored that the chieftaiii Ras Kasa, the einperor's son-in-law and Hlatten detta Herouy, the for eign minister, were on the royal Spe- cial train.
 Reign Terminated
 British authorities will regard the emperors reign as terminated in fact, If not legally, as soon as he crosses the frontier into French Somaliland.
 At Diredawa over toward the coast the railway passes perilously close to the Italian drive in the east
 It Is believed that, If Italy tries to set up puppet government, Britain will lead Q movement of league nations to withhold recogni- ton. Manchukuo, which Japan wrested from China in 1883 never has been recognized by any power ex- cept Japan. Little Salvador. the Latin-American republic, Is the only other nation that has admitted the Manchukuo state existence.
 Britons expect that 1t will take the Italians many months to pacify Ethiopia, but organized defense, they believe, has collapsed.

FRANCE HAS NOT
 BEEN REQUESTED

Paris, May 2-(Up)-The French government has not received an of- iicial request from Emperor Halle selassie for asylum, but If he ar- rives at Djlbouti, French SoF1ali- land, 1t will allow him to remain there in accordance with the tra- ditionaI French custom to give haven to political exiles.
 Advices received here of an ofil- cial British report that the Negui had entrained from Addis Ababa for Djibouti brought . statement of the French stand towards fleeing Ethiopians. Ethiopian government officials and military leaders, who rcportedly are leaving the country ln great numbers, will be allowed Io enter French territory also.
 No obstacles will be put in the emperor's way if he wishes to como "a france itself.

 Dispatches to foreign offices in other capitals from their staffs in Addis Ababa predicted that the Italians might enter the capital some time today. But officials here discouraged reliance in such reports and awaited confidently, and with out the popular inpatience, the of- ficial news from Marshal Pietro Ba- dogllo.
 It is indicated plainly that from the day his columns set out from Desye, Badoglio has foreseen the exact course of the advance.
