ITALY’S FAST CONQUEST.
DEFEAT OF SANCTIONS. DAILY MAIL'S COMMENT. Received April 20, 12.20 p.m. LONDON, April 19. "In view of Marshal Badoglio's lightning strokes and swift advance, it seems as though sanctions and Abyssinia have been defeated by one and the same blow." says the Daily Mail in an editorial. "No more memorable feat has been accomplished in military history than Italy's speedy conquest of the -wild and mountainous Abyssinian tableland. "It is most unfortunate t that the British Government seems never to have had the slightest inkling that the war would end as quickly as it is now certain to do. The Negus seems doomed to lose the whole country because he placed his faith in the wild talk of the Geneva firebrands. They have, as predicted, failed him. Thus the Government's blunders have had most unfortunate consequence's for those • who put their trust therein."
