Addis Ababa, To-day
The Abyssinian capital once more presents a picture as at the outbreak of the war, 10,000 new- ly mobilised troops being there, intensively trained in camps in the near vicinity.
On an empty piece of ground between the Parlament and the Imperial Palace, recruits are being shown how to dig modern trenches, and in a few days the first batch of reinforcements will be sent to the north and south.
No operations of any importance are going on an either front, the Abyssinians in the north and the Italians in the south being equally busy with consolidating the positions won in the recent battles
Nevertheless calm and quiet prevail at Addis Ababa, since, even if the recent battle in the north did not break the Tatian lines, the Abyssinians are nearer to the road from Makalle to Adowa, which is the sole line of communications of the Italiana.
