STRENGTHENING OGADEN LINE

BIG ATTACK LIKELY AT ANY MOMENT

SUSPECTED: TRAITORS SENT TO DEATH

Jijiga, Oct. 13.

Southern Ethiopian Army soldiers are passing. through here daily en route to the Ogaden front where operations, thus far, have been confined to skirmishing, but where a big Italian attack is expected at any moment.

The mobilisation in the Harrar area is almost com- pleted and it is reported that the troops' pay has been doubled.

Report froms Harrar state that the Ethiopian claims the Somali chieftain, Samatarri, has joined thein army with 2,000 followers. They add that many Somalis are deserting daily from the Italian lines and coming over to the Ethiopian side.

The Ethiopians are rapidly strengthening their anti-aircraft defences at Harrar, headquarters of the Southern Army, and guns are being put into concealed positions in the surrounding hills.

The Ethiopians deny that the Italian advance has been pushed to a point within sixty miles of Harrar.- Reuter Special.
