ROME, Dec. 6-(A-P.)-Premier Mussolini, informed sources said tonight, probably will defy the League of Nations anew when he addresses the opening session of Parliament tomorrow.

The Government remained ob- durstc despite the peace overture voiced yesterday by Sir Samuel Hoare, British Foreign Secretary in an address in the House oi Commons. Sir Samuel's speech, a. government spokesman declared, “presented no new elements which can justify s. change in the sit- ustidn. It, is known that the Ital- lan view-point has not changed."

Another fiery appeal to the nat- ion by I1 Dues was anticipated to- morrow. l-Iis words will be broad- cast into every town and village.

Roaring onto the horizon, their silver bodies gleaming in the morning sun, the Fascist (planes threw the civil population of Des- sye into a panic at exhctly 8 a. m.

I saw many women and children among the dead and wounded. One ward of the American Seventh-Day Adventist hoqoital was wrecked. Pounded by 100 bombs, the Emper- or's palace was damaged.

Miss Petgs. Hovlgn a Norwegian nurse, suffered s. broken leg. The Belgian Major, G. A. Tleiralpont, was wounded. Georges Gcyon, the correspondent for the ‘Haves (French) News Agency, was shot in one knee and wounded severely.

With rare presence of mind, the director of the American hospital evacuated the institution a iew minutes before the raid began. But beds, surgical instruments, oper- ating tables and other equipment were strewn about in confusion by the three bombs which pierced the corrugated roof.

Some parts of the town resem- bled a shambles, with dead and wounded filling the streets. With- in an incredibly short time, the wounded began pouring into the hospital and the camp of war cor- respondents. ,

The Negus was talking to Ded- kszmatch Birru and Doctor Zer- vos when the high drone of the planes was heard. Caimly, he shouted orders for his troops to. scatter, seized his own machine gun and began firing. His courage inspired others.
