ROUT OF THE ITALIANS

Ethiopian Claim

Addis Ababa, Dec. 28. ""The Lion of Judah is victorious," declaims a communique, claiming the capture of Adbladdi, the capital of Temblen, in a surprise attack consummated by the Abyssinians against a hall of artillery and machine-gun fire and an aerial

bombardment,

The communique claims that the Itailans were routed with beavy losses. A hundred native troops were taken prisoner, and the bodies of 20 Italian officers and non- commissioned officers and many native non-commissioned meers were found among the dead.

The action was apparently part of a concerted campaign to force the invaders to withdraw from a large part of Tigre.-- Heater,
