ETHIOPIANS COMPLAIN OF FRESH BOMBINGS
London, Jan. 27.
While there is no further news at the moment of the big battle fought during the past four days in the vicinity of Makale, the Italians are claiming a further successful thrust of forty-five miles to the north-west of Negcill.
They assert that 1,500 Ethiopians were killed in action during this attack.
From Addis Ababa comes a fresh, series of complaints of bombings of Red Cross units. It is stated that the am- bulance commanders have ordered the Red Cross emblem re- moved from the ground in the vicinity of their dressing stations and hospitals as they are more dangerous than pro- tective. The Italians apparently seek them out and use them as targets.
