FIERCE OPPOSITION ANTICIPATED
MUSSOLINI EXPECTED TO VISIT FRONT
Asmara, Oct. 20.
Everything appears to be in readiness for the in- dicated Italian advance towards Makale, but there is good reason to believe, also, that the attack, when it comes, will be met with determined opposition. Makale will not fall without a battle.
