 advanced nearly 40 miles southward to the Takkaze river, where the riv- CT bed turns southward from its previous east-west course. It has en- countered no formidable resistance.
 Roads have been constructed with amazing rapidity from the Eritrean frontier to the Aksum- Aduwa-Adigrat Debra Sion front, and trails which can be used by small, high wheeled trucks have been pushed five to IS miles south ward from the main bases on the front.
 The chief penetration into Ethi- opia is along the Caravan route which runs southward from Aduwa to Antalo, beyond Makale.
 Dispatches from Webb Miller, United Press correspondent at the front, have described the continu- ous movement of men, mules, trucks, guns, tanks, road making laborers as the territory in front of the present main line is consolidated and made ready for the main army to move.
 Front Forward Line
 The front forward line on the Somaliland front extends from south to north paralleling the Ethi- opian -Somaliland border, from Dolo to Callafo, Scillave and Ualual.
 Before the advance from Somali- land began under Gen Rodolfo Graziani the real outpost in the central part of the country was on the frontier.
 Callafo, now occupied, is 50 miles inside Ethiopia from Mustahil and Scillave is 65 miles.
 Ualual was an outpost before the outbreak of war, and it was there that the clash occurred last De- cember 5 which was its ostensible cause.
 The real frontier base was Galadi, 75 miles east southeast of Ualual and 90 miles east of Gerlogubi.
 Scouting parties are. reported now to have advanced from 10 to 25 miles beyond Gerlogubi and Scil- lave toward the next immediate ob- jective, Gorrahei, which has been bombed a number of times recently by Italian planes and which is re- ported to hold formidable con- cehtration of Ethiopian warriors.
 Advance N0rthward.
 From Gorrahei the Italians are expected to advance northWard by way of Warandab and Sasa Baneh toward Jijiga, key position to Harar and the railway, along the beds of the Fafan and Jerer rivers. Thus they will move roughly parallel to the present main line, in their march northward.
 The men who make up the bulk of the Somaliland army are the Peloritana division of regulars, na- tive Dubats, Fascist militiamen and mixed reserve units.
 AS in the north road making has been an essential preparation for the advance. A good road now con- meets Ualual with Bendir Cassim, far to the north on the Gulf of Alden and 1t is connected also with Lobbia, on the coast, and Mogadis- cio the capital and main port. From Mogadiscio there is a fairly good road along the Webbe Shibeli river valley to Belet-Wen. There the road turns northwesterward to De- bouen and Gorrahei, then north- ward toward Jijiga. At Jijiga this road joins the highway connecting Harar, to the west, and Zeila, Brit ish Somaliland port. Another road connects Belet-Wen and Ghigner joins a road to Dolo. far in the south. From Gigner there is a road northwestward to Addis Ababa through the high mountains.
 Thus though the country is for the task of the army so far as transport goes is of a different character from that of the northern army where there have been only crooked caravan trails through | great mountains.
