Reviewing the troops, the Emperor said:— “God will be your shield. Your Sovereign is with you and will not hesitate to shed his blood in defence ■»£ the country’s independence.’’ NOT CO-EQUALS ITALIAN ATTITUDE. PROBLEM FOR LEAGUE. LONDON, .July 18. The Rome correspondent of The Morning Post says that if the League of Nations Council supports the suggestion of a compromise between Italy and Abyssinia as co-equals at Geneva, Italy will not tolerate such an assumption of equality. Italy expects the League to expel Abyssinia from Geneva, otherwise Italy will leave.
