CONSOLIDATION ON NORTHERN FRONT
OFFENSIVE STATIONARY ON SOMALI FRONT REPORTED CAPTURE OF UAL UAL
Rome, To-day.
The news of the desertion of two Abyssinian chieftains has been received with great satisfac- tion in Rome and is regarded as the first-fruit of the Italian policy to win over sections of the popu- lation to the Italian side as the Italian advance proceeds: The streams of desertion to the Ita- lians
are expected to increase.
Simultaneously with the military operations political officers will begin to try to persuade the Abyssinians of the advantage of Italian rule.
News from East Africa indicates that the
Italian troops are consolidating their lines of communications on the northern front, where an- other advance will not be made for a fortnight.
The offensive appears to be stationary on the Somali front, where the Italians are on the defensive, while there is no news from the southern Eritrean front, where the Italian cohmn which occupied Mount Monssa Ali is proceeding in the direction of the Djibouti-Addis Ababa Railway.
