Tokyo, Oct. 18.
Following a newsless holiday, the major vernacular! papers to-day came out with extras, with a vast accu- mulation of foreign despatches, including an uncon- firmed report that natives belonging to the Italian forces had clashed with British Somaliland natives.
There was another report that Italian bombers had dropped explosives on a frontier patrol of the Camel Corps, inflicting casualties.
Nothing official in this respect has been received, but the population is highly excited and believes the situation is serious with respect to Italy and Britain.
Japanese officialdom continues its deep silence in everything pertaining to the Italo-Ethiopian situation. European reports indicating that the stories of the Italo-Ethiopian peace efforts, on the part of M. Pierre-Laval and others, were seemingly baseless, and also re- ports of a clash between British and Italian forces sent the stocks of war material.companies higher during to-day's session of the Stock Exchange.

Addis Ababa, Oct. 17.
A savage horde of 100,000 warriors, led by the veteran chieftain and War Minister, Ras Mulu Getta, who marched at their head, stormed out of the capital and towards the northern front to-day to meet the Ita- lian invaders in a death struggle.
The muffled sound of marching bare feet stirred in the men a military frenzy and inspired the reports that a great offensive was imminent.
However, officials said that an offensive was entire ly contrary to the campaign strategy.
One of the chiefs marching with the warriors worę the Ethiopian shamma, or robes, and a war-time French helmet. Another wore a well-tailored dinner jacket, girdled by a cartridge belt, and rode astride a donkey.
