SHANGHAI SHOOTING IS CAUSE OF TENSION

Shanghai, Nov. 11.

All last night the flight of Chinese from Chapei continued,

Following the appearance of Japanese marines, in steel helmets and with full field equipment, panic spread through the native city bordering upon the

Hongkew area, which is the Japanese district in the

· International Settlement. It was here that the fierce fighting of 1932 developed, and Chapei has not for- gotten the suddenness of that deluge.

The marines were called out following the shoot- ing of a young Japanese bluejacket in a street row. They are patrolling the length of North Szechuen Road and the extra-settlement road beyond. Chinese troops are reported massing at Loyang.

Harrar, Nov. 10. Eight seriously wounded Ethiopian soldiers arrived here to-day from the field hospitals in the vicinity of Gorrahei. They lay in a motor truck, suffering from Their serious bullet wounds, gas and gangrene. condition was pitiable.

They were able to talk, however. They told of four days' of terrific fighting before the Italians succeeded in eapturing Gorrahei, after heavy bombardments and gas attacks.

The Ethiopian losses, they admitted, were great, but they were unable to estimate the losses.

From other sources it is learned that the Ethiopian defence of Gorrahei was gallant. In face of the terrible bombardment they stood against hopeless odds and fought with a tenacity and endurance which was remarkable. When they could they retaliated against the Italians' continuous air and artillery offensive and flung themselves into battle.--United Press.

STABILISATION PROSPECT

Asmara, Nov. 10, With the successful conclusion of operations around Makale and the advance around the River Tafan in the south to Sassabanch, the Italian strategy is becoming clear.

General Maravigna's army is now expected to exccute a vast' on- efreling movement to the left, to contact with General establish Santini and General Biroli and their forces and thus form a front, | nlong the Ghova River.

This should result in the com-

cleaning-up of the country north of Takazze, enabling the main Italian army to concentrate for the next advance.
