going to be targets for the enemy seemed to be a great joke to them all. The nearer we came to the trenches on the actual front lines, the happier the troops seemed to be.
 The trenches are very shallow, and I am told the warriors think they are foolish, preferring to use the natural cover behind which they always have fought in past years.
 In the hills, too, the Philippians were occupying every pass, dragging their machine guns up the steep paths, and piling up brush shelters as camouflage.
 It is a strange mixture of mod- drn and primitive military methods that is being employed in the de- fense of Ethiopia.

 Winning Aid
 of Native Chief Our journey here was the most nerve and body-wracking experi- ence of my life. When the authorities had begun to make it hot for the photograph CTS in Harrar, I determined to get out if I could. We were watched day and night, followed by soldiers everywhere we went, and forbidden to take our cameras out of the hotel. Our luck seemed the worst possible, until my German colonel met chief, one Bakala Ayale, who lives in the Wal Wal district, and was in Harrar to confer with the authorities.
 After a few drinks - you don't need many of the stuff they sell in Harrar-the chief agreed to allow us to come with him to his village. We hired lorry, smuggled the cameras into it and set of. I felt sure we would be stopped at the gates of the town, since I was never allowed out without 8 guard. But the chief must be somebody" because they waved him and his bodyguard, which in- cluded us, on our way. Later, I learned, the gate-keepers were ar- rested for having let us slip through0
 Follow Troop
 Route to Front
 At times our speed averaged four miles an hour and we were more than twelve hours doing forty miles in the hills. In places the lorry sank to its axleS in a soft river bed and had to be dug out, and later on, it was even worse digging it out of the sandy desert. In one place we stopped you could hardly put your foot down without disturbing small snakes, but they did not trouble us much. Once while the lorry was being dug out of river, I walked a way along the bank. Fifteen feet ahead of me a great head, that looked as big as football, reared in my direction. It was a python, at least eighteen feet long = not that I stopped to measure it. Did I run!
 As we travelled farther from Harrar, the country became stiff with Ethiopian troops. But they seemed to melt into the rocks and scrub, until you were almost on top of them, and then you found yourself in the middle of @ machine gun nest.
 The natives do not run when they see an Italian plane. They stop dead in their tracks, their heads bent down, and they have a curious

army. Arrived at Bakala Ayale's village, we were presented to his family and royalty welcomed.
 Bakala Ayale told my compan- ion, the German colonel, that our lives would be unsafe if he did not protect us. That may be so, but we have been very well treated by all the troops we have seen here. They do not seem as suspicious as they did in Harrar, and every man is willing to divideswhat he has with us.
 While we ate some natives squatted on their heels and played weird, monotonous music for us.
