THE COVENANT.
MUSSOLINI’S REFERENCES
SPECULATION AROUSED
Received September 25, 1.25 p.m. GENEVA, Sept. 24
Signor Alussolini’s reference to certain articles of the Covenant is causing renewed speculation. It is believed that it may indicate Article 19, under which a neutral zone may be created between the Italian and Abyssinian armies during the negotiations under the auspices of England and France, and Article 22 dealing with the revision of treaties and mandates.
Aleanwhile the rainy season in Abyssinia has ended—five days early.
HOPES DASHED.
BY ITALIAN DECREE
Received September 25, 1.35 p.m. ROME, Sept. 24. Cabinet has passed a number of important decrees affecting the army, including the allowing of soldiers in East Africa to marry by proxy as the forces will be absent for a long time and they will not obtain furlough enabling them to legitimise illegitimate unions. The decree has made a deep impression, dashing the hopes of a short campaign.
