" (By the Associated Press)
- Orders for new and Impres
sive British and French naval
movements In and near the Med
iterranean coincided today with
unconfirmed Ethiopian claims ot
a northern battle victory.
As French authorities dis
closed that 92 warships of the'
first and second squadrons will
take a Mediterranean cruise, the
British recalled four warships
from those waters and announc
ed that four even bigger men
o' war wonld leave home soon on
a premature "spring cruise,"
along with a destroyer flotilla.
Strategic Points Taken
The cruising British ships,
which will Include tha, great and
modern battleships Kelson and
Rodney, will not actually go into
the Mediterranean, the admiral
ty said. But it appeared they
would be near that strategic
sea, somewhere off the coast
of Portugal and Spain.
Britain's present Mediterran
ean concentration, minus the
four ships withdrawn, will re
main there, it was Indicated.
The French ships will be in tha
Mediterranean, too, by the time
the league ot nations council
meets to consider further the
Italo-Ethiopian situation on Jan-,

Joint Action Denied
Official British quarters in
sisted the Franco-British navat
movements were not Jointly ar
ranged, but the orders came,
nevertheless, on the heels ox
conversations between the gen

concerning Joint measures to be
taken tn case Italy attacks.

a government claim to the com
