"VICTORY" FEVER IN ADDIS ABABA
Addis Ababa, Oct. 13.
Officials to-day revealed that the Emperor's armies were prepared to resist to the best of their power the crushing Italian offensive soon to be launched on all fronts.
Emperor Selassie's foreign advisers, who are the only fully informed persons in the country, believe the invaders will force a real test of strength before the League of Nations' penalties are fully effective against Italy.
The populace, however, is being swept by the wildest "victory" fever, without exception believing the reports that Adowa has been captured from the Italians.
A merchant, interviewed as typical of the man-in- the-street, said: "Before many weeks Ras Siyoum will reach the sea and we shall be rid of the Italians once and for all"
