viding that II Italy attacks any OF

as meaning that Turkeys vital
zones Of interest would not be dis
turbed, at least for the time being.
Turkish newspapers emphasized
that Russia undoubtedly would in
tervene in some manner II the war
spread to the Balkans. Reliable
sources said that the Turks have
been assured that the British and
French ambassadors enroute to
Moscow would use all their means
to persuade Russia that an 'unde-
feated Germany would be the
greatest menace to the Soviet I'M

Ethiopia Revolt Expected

London, June 11-(UP)-Experts
on Ethiopia asserted today that the
country was eager to revolt and that
1taly's entrance to the European war
might lead to an uprising by more
than 100000 well armed warriors.
Emperor Halle Selassie Of Ethiopia
came to London from his villa at
Bath as soon as italy declared war,
and remained at hotel here In con-
ference with his advisers.
It was intimated that Great Brit
ain might supply Ethiopian warriors
with arms and ammunition through
Kenya and the Sudan. =
ut Is safe to assume that the re.
sistance Of tribesmen against the
Italians will increase considerably
and that II they have the opportu-
nifty of getting arms and alnmuni-
ton from outside II would be effec-
tive to very high degree" o Brit
ish spokesman said. 1.-THE hope Is
that the Philippians will not be over
eager and launch q campaign pre-
cipitously without proper organisa-
tion."
30 Tribal Chiefs
Well informed sources reported
that some 30 tribal chieftains, UNI
der the leadership Of Abehe Aragi,
former chief Of police Of Adds
Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, were
actively organizing anti-1talian &C.
ton.
Despite four years Of italian &C.
cupation, II was asserted, the Italians
had been unable even to Occupy vast
tracts Of country and In these tracts,
II was said, tribesmen armed with
modern guns they had captured In
raids on italian conveys and mill
tary outposts, had been carrying on
an interminable guerrilla warfare,
harassing communication lines, am.
