These sol diers were sent ashore from IS naval vessels. Dozen Greeks Killed. Home, ttepL E—An oflcial statement on the bombardment of Corfu says: “The shots from the Italian guns killed or wounded a dozen Greek citi zens because the authorities had not removed the population, despite warn ings from tile squadron.” Peace l |> to Ecague. Dy Associated Press. London. Sept. 1.—The near eastern < q'isis pivoted today upon Geneva, where the council of the league of na tions had fortunately arranged a meet ing before It was known It would be faced by the strongest test of the league's vitality which has yet con fronted It. The council went only so far as to adopt a resolution urging moderation upon the Greek and Ital ian governments until the council could examine the circumstances of the case. No belligerent events were reported during the day from other reliable sources, although a rumor was cur rent that Italians had landed on the Island of Samos, but there has been an active bombardment of diplomatic statements and argument* from mie and Athens. The Italian premier. Mussolini, tele raphed to all the powers and the 1-ague of nations that the Italian occupation of Corfu was a provisional (me and the Italian minister In Athens informed the Greek govern i ,ent that It should not be regarded n hostile act and advised that Greece should refrain from belllger i ,cy. adding that the Italian fleet <\ ould leave when Italy’s demands Vu! been complied with. Affects Italy’s Honor. The Italian government asserts -singly that the question is not one for the league of nations, but con cerns cmiy Italy and Greece and af fects Italy’s honor. The Greek gov ernment apparently adopts an atti tude of helplessness; it says it is in the hands of the league of nations at id will do whatever the league de cides, it should do. The Greek government also says il is prepared to accept in advance anj teparatlons demanded by the council of ambassadors. Greece has protested to the powers against the bombard ment of Corfu and makes the point that Italians opened fire at 4 in the afternoon, whereas the second ulti matum was not to expire until 5. Greece also makes the point that Corfu was not fortified. The reports 'of the casualties there vary from 10 kill'd or wounded to 13 killed. The Italian navy proceeded with the organization of Corfu in a busi nesslike way. Vire Admiral Sinion «-tti was appointed governor, and lo cal police who were willing to serve were drafted into the Italian service. Occupation Resented. This proceeding is not welcomed with enthusiasm abroad, certainly not In England, for while all com ments. official and by the newspa pers here, with exceptions on the part of a few liberal papers, are Vlarded, there is beneath the sur te unmistakable uneasiness re guiding Mussolini's ambitions, for the Italian premier is a man of mys tery abroad. It is not forgotten in England that about the time of his rise to power he made a speech voic ing his belief that Italy's destiny is lo play a far more powerful part in the Mediterranean than heretofore.
