There was a striking incident to-day when a woman riding a magnificent white mule arrived at the Royal Palacé accompanied by a hundred retainers and de- manded arms and ammunition before proceeding to the front. She is leading her warriors into action.

It is reported that the Italians have invested Makale and that two Italian aeroplanes flew over the Djibouti Addis Ababa Railway in the neighbourhood of Afdem.
