RAS IMRU IN RETREAT

Italian Report Of Battle

Asmara, Mar. 4. Italian Army Headquarters re- ports that Has imru's Iorces are "Surely you're not going?" cried in full retreat after a battle in the mistress.

"I am, ma'am," came the reply. "It's an engineer you want, not a cook!"

Glasgow annals tell of a civic "kirking" where Magisterial dignity was ruskea.

1J

"Lord have mercy upon the Magistrates of this city, such as they are." exclaimed the officiating clergyman in his opening prayer. "Make them wiser and better.

Next morning, when the Town- Clerk, called to intimate that his petition had given great offence, the unabashed minister replied, "My compliments to the Lord Pro- vest and Magistrates, and I am very sorry to find that my prayer

has not been answered."

Donovan was walking along the road when: hearing a whirr: he looked back and saw Larry flying fast and furious' on a motor-cycle. "H1. wait a minute!" shouted Donovan. ""I want to speak to

Jou."

"I can't; I'm in a hurry. I want to catch the post," cried Larry.

Suddenly the machine swerved and crashed into a telegraph pole, and Larry and the motorcycle lay in a helpless tangle. When Dono- van came up Larry was extricating himself from the wreckage.

"Begorra," said Donovan, with a grin. "I see you caught the post."

One of the best retorts to an in- terrupter was made by Mr. Winston Churchill

An ex-Naval officer was speaking at one of his meetings when a question came from the back of the hall: "Were you ever in H.MS. Thunderer?"

"Yes," said the speaker, where- tipon the Interrupter shouted, "Well, you've got fatter than you used to be."

Mr. Churchill. however, turned the laugh against the interrupter by saying without a moment's hesitation. "Of course he is. Re has been fed by the National Government."

FATHER BURNS

Mukden, Mar. 4. The first message from the cap- tors af Father Clarence Burns, of the Maryknoll Mission, who was captured by bandita near Tung- hua on February 5, has been re- ceived by the Mission,

The message states:-"We have no intention of harming your friend. but we need money.".

which many thousands of Ethio- pians were either killed or wound- ed.

The Iranan casualties in this el gagement are said to be about 1,- 000 led and wounceu.

Aircraft are a present attacking 4.000 Ethiopians who have made encircling movement in e Avergallo district,

This battle began on February 29, just ten days after the succes- qul. but costly, Italian drive on Amba Aladam. The Ethiopian losses are estimated in the thou sands, but the Italian dead in this action are set at 200 and he wounded number 600.

Ras Imru is retreating towards the Takazze River, pursued by fraban planes, who are constantly attacking with bombs and ma chine-guns.

The Second Italian Army Corps advanced south-west of Aksum, while

the newly-formed Fourth Army Corps, consisting of divisions recently arrived In Africa, has moved further west, and is now ad vancing southwards without in cident.

The Second Army Corps met with the strongest resistance from successive waves of Ethiopians. Finally, the incessant Are of the Italian artillery broke down the opposition.

The advance continued Sunday, the artery again breaking up resistance, while aeroplanes bomb- ed the decimated Etrloplans and dispersed a force of 10,000 men,

Su swift was the Italian advance that communications were taxed tu the utmost Planes dropped food and fodder

to the Italian troops attached to parachutes.

The fighting anded Monday with the retreat of Ras Imru and the action is regarded as a great vi tory, eliminating the scattered columns of the three great north- ern Ethiopian armies from further action...

It is now thought likely that the italiana will soon decide to pausė and leave the politicians to ascer- tain whether the Emperor of Ethiopia is ready to talk

terms-uler.
