GENEVA WILL DISCUSS OIL EMBARGO ON DECEMBER 12

Addis Ababa, To-day.

Only a few houses remain standing in Dag- gabbur, following constant bombardment by an Italian squadron, according to an Ethiopian Gov- ernment communique. About 1,500 bombs fell in the town, including many of the incendiary type, which left buildings in a sheet of flame. The experienced troops escaped, as they were the quickest in running to cover immediately the at- tacking bombers were sighted.

A number of women paying in the temporary church erected to take the place of the one destroyed in a previous air raid were blown to pieces by a veritable hail of bombs. — Reuter
