A ragged, fearless army of Ethio-
plan men, women and boys formed
today on the eastern front to meet
the Fascist leglons of Italy.
Army leaders believe the eastern
front within the next few days will
be the principal object OF Italian
attack and they will have to meet
thrusts from north and south to-
ward Harar and the vital Djibouti-
Adds Ababa railway.
In readiness for an offensive the
Italians have maSSed 95 tanks near
Mt. Mussa Ali. at the junction of
the Eritrea French Somaliland-
Ethiopia border, and they have a
fleet of planes expected TO bomb
Harar. Diredawa and Jiga iigga,
along the railway line. and perhaps
Awash and Adds Ababa.
This area should bear the brunt
of the initial attack and it is evil
dent that its people from the low
est to the highest have determined
TO fight and, if they get hand to
nand with any Italians, to cut them
to pieces with swords and knives.
Survivors will be emaScuated.
