DARING RAID INTO SOMALILAND

100,000 WARRIORS AT GRAZIANI'S REAR

Harrar, Nov. 27.

A serious threat to the Italian communications in the South is present in the Ethiopian advance into Italian Somali- land, the tribesmen led by the capable Ras Desto, brother-in-law of the Emperor.

The advance bands of Fanno tribesmen, among the finest fighting men in Africa, reconnoîtring ahead of Rus Desta's forces, are nearing Iscia Buidoa, an important town in Italian Somaliland, only 150 miles from the capital, Mogadiscio,

It would appear that the Italian reports that Ras Desta's raiders wore annihilated by aircraft and infantry attacks were efther grossly exaggerated or that the Italian authorities were misled. In any event, Ras Desta is still marching.

The main body of Ethiopian raiders is reported some' distance to the north-west of Mogadiscio.

A reliable account of Ras Desta's invasion states that this mysterious warrior, mounted on a white mule, led his Sidomo tribesmen, numbering nearly 100,000 men, down the Juba Valley and crossed the frontier into Italian Somaliland days ago.
