MUSSOLINI'S THREAT
WILL WITHDRAW FROM LEAGUE. IF USE OF GAS CONDEMNED. (Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 11.65 a.m.) London, April 13. The Telegraph's Rome correspondent says Signor Mussolini is likely to adopt further delaying tactics in connection with the peace proposals in order to gain time to march to Dessie. If the Committee of Thirteen condemns the Italian use of gas, Italy will refuse to discuss peace under the League's auspices and may even withdraw from Geneva. Meanwhile as a reply to the gas allegations Marshal Badoglio has proclaimed the abolition of * slavery in Tigre, Amhara and Gojjam. Victorious Advance Continues. Marshal Badoglio's communique says: "The victorious advance of our troops continues in various sections on the northern front. One column went from Gondar on April 12 and occupied peninsula of Gargoora, on Lake Tsana, and hoisted the tri-colour. Lake Tsana has been linked with Gondar by lorry on a road constructed simultaneously with the advance of the troops. "Another column has occupied the Abyssinian Customs post in front of Gallabat, west of Gondar."
