up any serious résistance.

The Duke of Aosta has been concentrating all available strength in defence of two points -Addis Ababa, in Abyssinia, and Keren, in Eritrea.

Asmara and Massawa will probably meet the same fate as Keren In a matter 01 daya, whereas the

capture of Keren

need jection of which

not be hurried and can be left largely to the Abyssinian patriots.

End of the campaign in Eritrea, however, will release large Im- perial forces at a moment when they will be doubly preelous in other spheres of the Near East.
