MUSSOLINI REJECTS MEDIATORS' PLANS.
ABYSSINIA DISPUTE.
Deadlock in Threatening Situation.
BASELESS ATTACK ON BRITAIN
(United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright)
(Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, May 23. A deadlock has been reached in the dispute between Italy and Abyssinia. Signor Mussolini has rejected the mediators' proposals. A message from Rome says that Sidior Gayda, the editor, in another sensational article in "Gvornale d'ltalia," accuses Britain of forming military bases among the British mineral concessions in Abyssinia, and on the pretence that they are football fields of organising aerodromes where buildings could easily be convertible into hangars.
He alleges that British aircraft is concentrated in Khartoum and elsewhere, and that Britain is building a network of railways to the Sudan border and concentrating considerable trr ;is on the Abyssinian frontier, forcing Abyssinia as a precaution to do likewise. The writer asks if these acts are merely defensive, and why the British fuss over Italy's preparations?
Official circles in London state that there is not the slightest foundation for any of Signor Gayda's allegations.
