BOMBARDMENT

LOSSES SEVERE IN TWO-DAY BATTLE

(BY WEBB MILLER)

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Oct. 7, 10.30 a. m.)

Adown, Oct. 6,

The Italian legions marched into Adowa wildly singing Giovennora. They are exultant at their vic- tory. Their commander-in-chief, General Debono, immediately announced their next objective, Aksum, an! ancient Ethiopian religious centre.

From Italian army headquarters it is stated that after a prolonged bombardment by aerial bombers and artillery, tanks and infantry thrusts overcame the first serious Ethiopian resistance. I watched the artillery in action and the infantry and tank assaults. The planes were far ahead of the troops.

The Italians repulsed a counter-attack near Debras- sina where the Ethiopians suffered heavy losses in a two-day engagement.

Adowa's, defenders retreated after checking the Italians" advance and delaying the town's capture by twenty-four hours. The Italian high command had anticipated a quicker victory.

Natives everywhere are display- ing the white-Ang-and-are-sur- rendering. Following the occupa- tion of Adown the Italians claimed that Ethiopian chieftains at Hola had surrendered.

The Ethiopians managed to re- move their antiquated artillery from Adowa, despite the aerial bombardment and the henvy machine-gun fire whieh harassed the retreating troops.

Over 2,000 square miles is now in the hands of the Italian armies. -United Press,

WAR BLAME ON ITALIANS

LEAGUE COMMITTEE

FINDINGS

ROME NOT CONCERNED WITH SANCTIONS

Geneva, Oct. 6.

The Committee of Six has decided that Italy has violated the League of Nations Covenant.

The Committee establishes the violation upon General Debono's order to the troops to advance across the Ethiopian frontier, resulting in the invasion of Ethiopian territory, the bombing of Adigrat and Adowa, and thus clearly indicating that Italy is the aggressor in the present war, without specifically naming her.

The report does not require unanimity or even a majority vote in the Assembly, but each country voting for this resolution pledges itself to adopt automatically the consequences of the accusation, like sanctions. Reuter.
