Cry of Angry Italian

Crowd

TOWN HALE SET

ALIGHT

Demonstrations Occur at Several Places > POLICE CHARGE RIOTERS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received February 10, 5.5 p.m.) London, February 9. The “News Chronicle’s” Paris correspondent says that anti-war demonstrations are increasing in Italy. Fifty persons, including a woman, were arrested at Limina in Messina when a crowd set Are to the town hall, yelling “Down with Mussolini— Down with war.”

Crowds demonstrated at Forli Station, whence troops were leaving for Abyssinia, women lying on the rails to prevent the departure of troop trains. Police charged rioters and injuries and arrests were numerous. When 150 artillerymen were departing from Verona they shouted “We want to go home." Police suppressed a popular demonstration of sympathy with the soldiers. DESSIE BOMBED Emperor Apparent Quarry Addis Ababa, February 10. Seven Italian aeroplanes bombed Dessle for 65 minutes, dropping a large number of Incendiary and high-ex-plosive bombs. The intention apparently was to find the Emperor, who is reported to have fired an anti-aircraft gun, refusing to take cover. INACCURATE REPORTS Statement By League Oil Experts (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, February 8. The League committee of experts appointed to examine the possibilities of an extension of the embargo on exports to Italy by the Covenant-enforc-ing States to include oil has issued a statement drawing attention to the fact that most of the figures and information so far published regarding their conclusions are inaccurate.

Two sub-committees have completed their tasks, but their reports have still to come before the full committee.
