Small Bore Rifles

In the course of a letter to the
Temps" M. Buffet, a French artist
who has just returned from Abyssinia,
where he has painted portraits of the
Emperor and ,Ras Makonnen, which
are to be exhibited at the forthcoming
Salon, says: TT was in a great degree
to the smaI-bore guns with which the
italian troops were armed that the
Abyssinians owed their victories. Ras
Makonnen and several of the suite of
Menelik told me that when a bullet
had gone right through them their men
lost none of their dash. If the bullet
did not kill at once-and nine out of
ten times that was not the case-they
did not even know they were wounded,
and fought as furiously as their COM
rades. Their wounds healed in a very
short time unless a vital organ had
been touched. The result is that the
Abyssinians despise such modern
arms" In view of possible debates as
to the Dum-dum bullet this testimony
is not without it's mportance.-London
