"FORWARD TO WAR! FIGHT BRAVELY"
WILL HIMSELF COMMAND ON NORTH FRONT
Addis Ababa, Oct. 17.
More rapidly than at any time since the Italian invasion of Ethiopia commenced, the black armies of Emperor Selassie are pouring into the field.
"We urge every soldier, and every civilian, too, to disregard death and inake every sacrifice in defence of his country," exclaimed Emperor Haile Selassie in an address to 100,000 troops after the march-past of war- bound fighters to-day.
"We rejoice to see how the nation has answered the call to arms.
"The Italians are proud of their planes and modern ammunitions, but victory will be ours.
"We have striven for peace, but God has willed it shall bo otherwise. If we waited so long for a hostile act by Italy it was because we had an obligation to the League of Nations. Now the]

Suez, Oct. 17.
The Italians are converting Massawa into a second' Gibraltar. Batteries of fifteen inch guns, with range of nearly twenty miles, are reported to have been mounted in a concealed position among the sand banks, a few miles north of the base.
Four inch guns, capable of dealing with destroyers and light cruisers, overlook the bay, while on strategic islands off the port more four inch and six inch guns have been placed under cover of night.
At least five submarines are in local waters, but as the conning-tower numbers are painted out it is impos- sible to identify any additional craft which may have arrived at this port
VIENNA CONTROL SHIFTED
The Italian air force strength in East Africa is now believed to number in the neighbourhood of 500 fighting machines, many of which are bombers with # moderate radius of 200 to 300 miles. A hundred planes were recently landed at Massawa, and are said to be fitted with two VON STARHEMBERG-designed-to-fy low over enemy machine-guns each. They are junits and to spray them with bullets. Such tactics are consi dered more effective than bomb- ing in many cases, owing to the luck of a concentrated target on the ground.
