ADDIS ABABA DENIES MURDER OF AIRMAN

Addis Ababa, Jan. 2.

The Italian outposts are reported to have been withdrawn from the south-east, south and south-west of Makate, in face of the threatening advance of Ras Moulou Gheta.

Ras Moulou Gheta hus been steadily pressing towards Makale from the south-east, at the head of an army of picked men, including part of the Impérial Guard, the finest troops in Ethiopia,

It is understood Ras Moulou Gheta will be re-inforced by another 12,000 warriors, commanded by Firturari Germa, the cousin of the Emperor Haile Selassie and an able strategist, trained in a more modern school than the majority of the Ethiopian commanders.

Further mobilisation is occurring in Addis Ababa, and every able-bodied man not under arms is required to show cause for this neglect of duty.-Reuter.
