CAIRO IN THE DARK

An astonishing feature of this
story-book episode is the fact that
the British mission into Abyssinia
was kept secret for more than six
months. Even military men in
Khartoum and Cairo knew moth
ing about it until the extraordinary
expedition was disclosed officially.
The Duke of Aosta. viceroy OF
Abyssinia, and Italian authorities
must have heard reports of the
presence of the British in their
midst, for the viceroy was reported
recently to have sent heavy forces,
composed of picked Italian troops,
into the Gojjam area.
The members of the Brit h
party were selected for their
knowledge of the Abyssinian Ian
guage and its many dialects, as
we'll as Abyssinian terrain, social
conditions and customs.

Despite prodigious losses i'm
