DUM-DUM BULLETS.
A DISTORTED MEBBAGE. CORRECT AND ITALIAN VERSIONS United Press Assn.—El**r. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, Feb. 7. The Italian Note to Geneva accusing Britain of sending dum-dum bullets to Abyssinia, states that one Italian newspaper on January 20 quoted a coded telegram from Addis Ababa addressed to an Ethiopian agent in England, which it alleged ordered "10.000.000 cartridges for rifles and for light and heavy machine-guns, with pointed bullets, half of them to be clipped.” The text of the message really read: “Half of them are to be in clips of five.” The Note adds that such distortions speak for themselves.
