A communique issued to-day by the Italian Northern Army Headquarters states that 10,000 Ethiopian warriors have been slain in the Tembien area and during the past few days of heavy fighting in an Italian advance. Thou- sands of wounded litter the front.

Marshal Badoglio's troops have smashed Ray Kassa's forces.

While huge piles of Ethiopian dead are being pre- pared for cremation, reconnoitring airmen have re- ported picked regiments of. Emperor Haile Selassie's Bodyguard marching northward for a final desperate effort to stem the disordered retreat,

Ras Kassa's and Ras Seyoum's armies are in full flight, without arms, animals or supplies,

Bombing planes are pursuing Ras Kassa's forces and Ras Seyoum is believed in hiding somewhere in the mountain coun- try, probably in some remote cave,

Leipzig. March 1.

A fervent appeal for the redistribution of the world's raw materials was made by Herr Josef Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda and National Enlightenment, at the opening of

the German Trade Fair here to-day.

He said that while some nations were being literally suffocated by unused wealth, others perished in poverty.

"It is time the world realised its madness," declared Herr Goebbels. "Its economic methods are everywhere causing anarchy to raise its head."

-The-Minister added that the problem of unequal dis- tribution of raw materials would not necessarily be so great if a sane exchange of these necessities were not impeded by capitalistic, blindness, political spite and the instability of exchanges. Router,

HEROIC SACRIFICE TO SAVE PREMIER

Tokyo, March 2.

The Emperor has summoned his Elder Statesmen, together with Prince Salonji, to advise him in the choice of a successor for the resigning Prime Minister, Admiral Okada, whose re- markable escape from death at the hands of the rebels has thrilled the world. Successors must also be found for the murdered Finance Minister, Mr. Takahashi, and such other. officials as have been assassinated or who have resigned as a result of the Army revolt,

The Emperor's action in şummoning his Elder Statesmen, together with the suicide of the rebel leader and the imprison- ment of other mutinous officers, while non-commissioned officers and men are confined to cells in their barracks, is interpreted in some quarters as a sign that the Liberals are regaining the upper hand-Reuter,
