The Italian right wing, it was predicted, would move i through Agab and Gavriel to launch an of- fensive in the direction of Gondar, comparatively near the northwest corner of Ethiopia.

Foreign Office Warns Britons Against En- listing With Either Disputant Forces.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, Aur 30—The foreign office tonight issued a. forcible re- minder to British subjects against enlisting with the forces of either

Premier Mussolini or Emperor Ilalle Selassie. Colncldentally active British

naval and military preparations. although following programs laid down months ago, were persist- ently llnked with the Halo-Ethiopian ‘ crisis. The Mediterranean fleet is new steaming from Malta to Suez waters. and the Home Fleet is being groomed at Portland for its aut- umn cruise.

Troops are ready to sail Tues- day to strengthen the xarrlsons at Malta and Aden; at Gibraltar and at Malta the citizenry ls being prepared for defence against air attacks In line with the campaign inaugurated in the Untied 2.. - dom some weeks ago.

Completes Plans

Other developments saw An- thony Eden, Mlnister for League of Nations Affairs. complete the draft of Britain's strong policy of upholding the Covenant of the League of Nations when the league council has a. “show- down" on the Ethiopian quarrel ‘nextweek. '

Informed quarters ridiculed a. report to the effect that British policy was being deferred pending clarification of the position of the United States under the latter's new neutrality legislation. The British stand was fully defined at last week's Cabinet session, it was pointed out, and will be changed only as developments among other league members warrant.

The Foreign Office clarified the position as regards British sub- jects contemplating enlistment with either the Italian or the Ethiopian forces, with a declar- ation that such is an unlawful offence.

' Cites 1870 Act

The official communique points out that under the foreign enlist- ment act of 1870 it is an offence for any British subject to serve without His Majesty's license in the fighting forces of any foreign state, warring with any state at peace with Britain. Thu; of course applies to both potential belliger- ents. Furthermore, an order-in-coun- cil of 1934 provides that if any Brtllsh subject participates in hos- tllitles in Ethiopla—either for or against Efilopiia-he is guilty of “a grave offence." and liable to two years imprisonment or a fine of $2,500. or both.

Reversing its former policy, the Ethiopian legation here announ- ccrl it hrl lcclded to turn down all applications for enlistment from Englishmen or other non- Ethiopians. Such applications to- tal more than 2.000, it is undo.“-

. stood. According to the legatlou, “language difficulties" ‘was the reason.

The legation however announced it was gratefully accepting con- tributions to Eihiopias campaign funds and a notice to this Hfect was “rominently displayed at the legatlon offices.

The Home Fleet prepared for its auturn manoeuvres a week ahead of schedule as the Mediterranean fleet was carrying out its second summer cruise. Ships of the latter fleet will be at anchor in and ar- ound ihe Suez Canal by Monday.

AIJDIS ABABA, Aug._30—(A.P.)-Francis M. Rickett,

a Britlshpromoter, told this correspondent today that Em- per-or Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, seeking to stop an expected Italian advance into Ethiopia, deeded more than half his Empire to Ariglo-American interests for exploitation and development Just before last midnight. _I, myself, saw the original charter, signed by the-Emperor with his official title “anointed King of Kings.” Dupli- cate versions, one in English, the other in Amharic, carried the great imperial seal of the “Conquering Lion of Judah."

u. Incident The drawing up and signing of the charter was a dramatic incid- ent, Rlckett said. When the Em- peror saw that negotiations for the settlement of the Italo-Ethio- plan conflict had failed in Paris. with little hope of succeeding later at Geneva, he summoned Rickett from Egypt by telegraph. There ensued five days and nights of almost continuous dis- cussion, so secret the negotiator invariably entered and left the Palace by a secret back door. Only a few Ethiopian ofiicials and Ever- ctt Colson, the Emperor's Ameri- can financial adviser, were in the know, At midnight last night the Ern- pcror was ready to sign his Em- pire's first concession to a for- signer and first state paper in the English language.
