BRUNO | MUSSOLINI HAS NARROW ESCAPE IN SCOUTING PLANE Rome, To-day. The Italians entered the sacred city of Aksum at 7.15 am yesterday.

News has been received at Aksum that Ras Seyoum is preparing to counter-attack the Ita- lian right flank with several thousand men, with. the object of retaking the city, according to an Italian newspaper report.

Attempts by the Ethiopians to cross the Setit River are said to have been repulsed with heavy loss. It is learned that Bruno Mussolini had a narrow escape while flying over the Makale region. Four bullets hit the plane, but Bruno was not injured and returned to the aerodrome safely.

It is officially stated that no proposals were made by either side in the conversation between M. Laval and Baron Cerruti the Italian Ambassador at Paris, on Monday." An official spokes- man tød Reuter: "We do not consider this a time to discuss a settlement while sanctions are being considered at Geneva, and the atmosphere is one of intimidation towards Italy. We consi- der the friendly attitude of the people in the occupied part of Abyssinia a complete justification of our policy. We are just going to go ahead.”
