SEES LEAGUE DISRUPTED.
Lack Of Action Condemned in
Ethiopian Note,

GENEVA, April 7 Lp).-The Ethi-
opian government asserted today in a
new appeal for help that Italy had
succeeded in disrupting the League of
Nations.
There is no doubt" said the appeal,
that had the states which are men,
bers of the League adhered to their
resolves to stop the aggressor by apply
ing effective sanctions, the war would
quickly have come to an end.
The italian government, however,
succeeded in sowing dissension within
the League, preventing the imposition
OF effective sanctions and securing the
postponement of those it feared, espe-
cially an oil sanction"
The Ethiopian note said bitterly that
whenever some effective sanction had
been decided on and was about to oe
enforced, some Intervention brought
about its postponement.
The Adds Ababa government said
1t recognized that a large number of
League members had made efforts in
the way of sanctions, but that these
had not yielded the desired result be-
cause they had not received the de-
served support from all quarters.
Italy, the note continued, despairs
of varquishing Ethiopia in honest war
fare and has proceeded to massacre
with incendiary bombs and poison gas.
"Braving the condemnation of public
opinion" declared Ethiopia, the
italian government fiatters itself that
1t will be able to impose on the world
and the League a fait accompli (ac-
complshed fact)."
Pointedly referring to the troubled
European situation, the note said:
Small states now are asking them
selves what protection is afforded them
by the collective security promised by
the League covenant. Some of them,
who also are victims of a breach of
treaties. fear aggression in the near
future"

Sir Eric went to Fulvio Suvich,
Italian undersecretary for foreign af-
fairs. following the machine-gunning
of the airport in Adds Ababa Sat-
urday to remind him of the assurances
Italy gave October 20 that Adds
Ababa and Diredawa would not be
bombed.
Suvich explained that the italian
planes attacked the aviation camp
outside Adds Ababa because an Italian
plane met an Ethiopian plane and
followed it back to the airport.
Suvich was reported to have said
the Italians attacked after they were
met with anti-aircraft fire.
He added, however, according to the
British, that the italian government
was fully mindful of the assurances it
previously had given that there would
be no bombing of the open cities of
Adds Ababa and Diredawa.

The "Gay Nineties" ball, to
be given Wednesday evening at
the Willard and sponsored by
the Presidents Cup Regatta
Association, is creating quite a
bit of excitement.
One instance is this: Mrs.
Grover Bache Gill selected a
perfectly gorgeous gown and,
when it arrived at her home,
she tried it on, a sort of dress
rehearsal. Having had her
lovely dark hair cut in the
style of that period, with be-
witching bangs, she was quite
pleased with the effect.
She told the maid to tell her
husband, DR.. Gill, that there
was a patient waiting and to
ask him to come into the draw
ing room. He did and his eyes
scarcely believed what they
saw, for there was his lovely
wife, lovelier than ever, and
looking the perfect picture OF
