Italy's Claims Expected

It is now expected that Signor Mussolini will communicate his claims to France through diplomatic channels, rather than by means of a public speech, states the Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph."

The journal states that Herr Joschim von Ribbentrop, the German Foreign Minister, had an hour's conversation yesterday with the Italian Ambassador in Berlin. They are believed, the paper declares, to have discussed the Italian demands on France, and, according to reliable information, an official announcement of the demands has again been postponed, and is not likely to be made during the next fortnight.—Reuter.
