ON ITALIAN CAMP

Addis Ababa, Apr. 22.

There has been heavy fighting in the Warrahabu region, where the Crown Prince's Guards claim to have repulsed numerous attacks by the Italians.

At nightfall the Ethiopians worked their way by inaccessible goat tracks around a steep mountain side and suddenly fell upon the Italians' rear.

It is alleged the Italians broke and fled, leaving a portable wireless transmitter and many rifles behind them.

:-----

Yesterday the Italians made repeated assaults upon Tarmabir Mountain, along the sides of which the Dessiye-Addis Ababa road climbs, with innumerable hairpin turns. Three.times, the Ethiopians claim, they repulsed Italian attacks, each time inflicting serioust losses. The Italians finally abandoned the attempt to take the Ethiopian positions by storm.
