Ordinance,

Addis Ababa, Feb. 10.

A strenuous effort on the part of Ethiopian regiments to recapture Makale has been repulsed after a day of heavy fighting, according to a semi-official report issued to-day.

Ras Seyoum, the able leader of the Ethiopian army in this northern sector, launched a fierce attack in a desperate effort to dislodge the Italian garrison from the town, which has been besieged by his troops for nearly three weeks, The Ethiopians* failure is said to be due to the heavy . forti- fication erected by the defending Italian troops,

These defence works include three separate systems of barbed wire entanglements, cach nearly six feet high, against which the Ethiopian infantry flung themselves recklessly, only to be mowed down by machine-gun fire of withering effect.

After losing heavily in man-power, Ras Seyoum was com- polled to withdraw from the assault.-Reuter Special.

ITALIAN LOSSES.

Rome, Feb. 10,

An official casualty list to-day publishes the list of white troops lost in action against the Ethiopians, for

INCREASING TOLL

It is known that white troops, in- cluding the famous Black Shirt bat- talions, have been used more exten- sively in action latterly.

The Italians have issued no figures for the total of native troups killed in action during the Ethiopian céimpaign. -Reuter Special.

Washington, Feb. 10.

The crowded Senato galleries applauded Senator „J. H. Lewis when he delivered his intensely nationalistic speech to- day, demanding adequate national defence and asserting:

"Japan will soon move towards Russia, whose Siberian possessions are only eighteen miles from Alaska."

Mr. Thomas L. Blanton, Representative, speaking to the House to-day, said the Appropriation Committee was consider, ing a further improvement in the United States' defences.

He urged Congress to establish speedily air bases at Seattle, Wash., and Fairbanks, Alaska.

He disclosed that it was planned to place sixteen inch coast défence guns at strategic points along the Pacific sen- board.

"No nation," he promised, "will send a $60,000,000 battle- ship within twenty-seven miles of those guns, because they would blow them to pieces."-United Press.
