GUERILLA WARFARE TO HARASS ENEMY.

FOREIGN SPECIALISTS TAKEN

INTO ETHIOPIAN FORCES

Addis Ababa, To-day.

The Abyssinian plan of campaign is expect ed to be as follows: The Negus, instead of op- posing the Italians, along both the Eritrean and Italian Somaliland frontiers may concentrate the bulk of his forces, including the pick of the troops, near Italian Somaliland, where he may launch an attack on the day the Italians ad- vance into Eritrea. This might lead to victory in the south, which would counterbalance a loss of territory in the north.

Only a few troops are to be employed in guerilla warfare. These methods will be left to the north, and their sole pur- pose is to harass the enemy. Even the Ethiopians are me able to estimate the strength of their armies, but a trustworthy estimate is 150,000, though not all are armed with modern wea- pons or are properly organised.
