SCENE AT MELBOURNE.
Italian Consul Terminates An Interview. OFFENSIVE WORDS OF PROTEST (Received 11 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. When one of three representatives of the Victorian Council Against War, who interviewed the Italian Consul, Cavaliere Anzilotti, used expressions which the Consul considered were insulting to the Italian Government, the Consul terminated the interview. The Council Against War had arranged for the deputation to ask that its protest against the attack by Italy on Abyssinia should be sent to the Italian Government. While the interview was in progress a flag bearing the words, "Hands Off Abyssinia," was hoisted over the building, in which the Consulate is situated. The words to which the Consul objected included a reference to a "murderous attack."
