•

Addis Ababa, Apr. 20. Still undaunted by the demoralising defeats suffered during the past few weeks, frenzied Ethiopian women were to-day exhorting the men to resist the threatened occupation of the capital to the last. Hundreds of women joined a wildly cheering mob of 5,000 armed with sticks, stones, spears, swords and a few guns which met in a suburban meadow to discuss the defence of the city following the Government proclamation:

"All able-bodied men must make a last stand for liberty. It is better to die than to be enslaved by the Italians. The spirit of Adowa still lives."
