Figures of auto casualties for the past fifteen wears

That the able gentleman who at

stanable. Once. in the not so long
ago, his predecessor Menelik was
obliged to give an Italian army a
good licking at Adowa in order to
prevent IL from overrunning the
country and reducing II TO the
condition OF colony. The defeat

the knowledge that Italy might try

that drew Abyssinia
