ITALY AND ABYSSINIA

ANTI-BRITISH CAMPAIGN.

THE MILITANT MUSSOLINI.

WILL SETTLE ALL ACCOUNTS

United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright ROME, June 8. The Prime Minister of Italy, Signor Mussolini, has ordered the trebling ol ■the Caribiniers guards at the British Embassy, also the attendance there of plain clothes detectives, in order to prevent disturbances engendered by the violent anti-British campaign in the press over Abyssinia. At the same time, Signor Mussolini, in reviewing the Sabaudi Division at Cagliaria before its departure for Italian East Africa, declared: "We will imitate to the letter those who wish to give us a lesson. The British have shown us that when it. is a question of creating an Empire, or defending it, they do not take any notice of world opinion. “ You Black Shirts are entirely worthy of the heroic, warlike race of Sardinia. Italy has old and new accounts to settle.

" We will settle them and pay no attention to anything said across the frontier. Only Italy can be the Judge of Italy’s Interests.”
