Of the Ethiopian rainy season.
The lull following the war of
occupation and conquest, which
was climaXed by the flight Of EN-

ed. The war of pacification has
begun.
The massacre at Jimma, where
20 italian aviators, including high
ranking officers, were ambushed
and killed, and serious uprisings
along the Adds Ababa-D -Djibouti
railroad, Ethiopia's life line to the
sea, shattered Italian dreams that
the pacification of Ethiopia would
be an easy task.
Graziani, hard bitten colonial
soldier, is noted for his ruthless

wholesale reprisals against rebels.
