of alarm, extending to the whole of Spain, has been proclaimed. The state of alarm is the first of three degrees of martial law, of which the state of siege is the second.
The defection of the shock police was first manifested when the captain of a mounted squadron ordered them to charge the crowds on the Campo Inos, in the Communist quarter, who were threatening the Radical Party building. Only five police obeyed and they were stranded in the middle of oceans of people, where- upon they themselves joined the mob and were carried shoulder high Red flags were much in evidence.

SECOND BATTLE IN OGADEN AREA SIMULTANEOUS ATTACK
ON BOTH FRONTS
ETHIOPIANS SCOUT RUMOURS OF ITALIAN CONTROL IN TEMBIEN
Rome, To-day.
The claim that the enemy has been complete- ly routed was made by Marshal Badoglio in a communique describing the battle of Amba Ara- dam. It says that large quantities of arms mat- erial were captured, including the insignia of rank and decorations of Ras Mulugeta. It con- cludes: "The armed forces of Fascist Italy, ani- mated by the uncontrollable will to victory, de feated the most warlike troops of Abyssinia, on which the Emperor based his greatest hopes.”
Addis Ababa: Nothing is yet know about the battle south of Makale, but it is mofficially reported that General Graziani and Ras Nasibu are engaged in a battle in the Ogaden region. Thus the Italians are making a. simultaneous offensive on the northern fronts. It is also repórted that 4,000 Eritreans desert- ed from the Italian forces and crossed the border into Kenya, ptiesued by Italian air and land forces,Renter's Buletin Service
