 The whistles and sirens started at 5;45 p. rn., catching the population by surprise, because there had been no intimation that the final "Vic- tory" was imminent. Rome news papers were forbidden to publish the United Press dispatches an- nouncing the fall of Adds Ababa.
 AS the call was sounded, the peo- pie ran into the streets from cafes and other gathering places to get to their homes in the shortest possible time, don uniforms, and report to the fascist headquarters within half an hour.
 The official radio did not make the announcement immediately and continued playing dance music while the mobilization was in progress. Italian newspaper clients of the United Press bombarded the govern ment with request for permission to publish the news, but 1t was with held temporarily. After a short de- lay, the newspapers were authorized to issue extras, and they started rolling from the presses.
 Announcement Delayed
 Although the announcement was delayed over the official radio, the happy, cheering crowds turned out in the streets assured that Adds Ababa had been occupied by their army.
 Many people, with relatives, sweethearts and friends at the front, cried with joy over the apparent end of the war. Great crowds gath cred in front of the various fascist headquarters to hear the formal an- nouncement and Mussolini's speech.

 In Center of Town
 The Italians took up their posi- tionS in the center of town and the natives, including bandits and loot CTS, Stampeded out of the city. Some tried unsuccessfully to take refuge in the legation compounds, which they have been attacking.

 The motorized column of white Italians was accompanied by 15,000 African Askaris who had been en- camped on the heights dominating Addis Ababa for the last 48 hours.
