Yesterday was another day crowded with in- cident and progress for which most credit must be given to M. Maximos; the Greek president of the financial sub-committee and M. Coulandre, the French technical expert.

M Maximos steered the financial resolutions, through the committee with skill and speed.

With the fall of Adowa and Adigrat and the expected speedy fall of Aksum it is considered here that the first phase of the East African oper- ations have been completed, and it is expected that the second phase, which is due to begin short- ly, will meet with little resistance, as reconnais➡ sance flights over the far interior are said to have revealed an "entire absence of the enemy."

It is reported that the Italian advance to Girlogubi has been temporarily suspended at Gerohai by torrential rains which made the move- ment of troops impossible.

According to an unconfirmed report from Daggahbur the Italians and the Mijjertein Somalis have been engaged in a fierce. battle in the south-east corner of Abyssinia, where the British and Italian Somalilands meet, and that the British Somaliland tribe of the Dolhahanta sided with the Mijjertein tribe, despite the British authorities forbidding them to take action and warn ing them that disobedience would entan the withdrawal of Bri- Itish protection.
