Addis Ababa, Feb. 2..
Emperor Haile Selassie is expected to return here from Dessiya shortly due to the fact that the theatre of war has shifted definitely to the south, to which front the Ethiopians are rushing men, ammunition and supplies in an effort to check
General Graziani's advance.
Military experts believe that Ras Desta and Ras Seyoum are preparing a joint attack on the Italian centre and that Ras Nasaibu will simultaneously ding his troops at the Italian right flank.
Meanwhile, on the North the Ethiopians are slowly starving the Italian garrison of Makale into submission.
The battle for the possession of Aksum is continuing→→ United Presa.
