WARRIORS BLOCK ROAD

TO JIJIGA

Rome, April 24. Military authorities here are informed that heavy fighting began at dawn to-day, directly south of Sasa Baneh in the Ogaden country, and that the capture of this Ethiopian strong-point is expected shortly.

The reports state the capture of Jijiga is likely early next week. However, before reaching Jijiga the Italians must defeat the Ethiopians under General Waheb Pasha, the Turkish military expert, who is quartered at Sasa Banch. It will then be necessary to advance across an open plain to storm the Ethiopian entrenchments on the heights protecting Jijiga. The fall of Jijiga is deemed inevitable, however.

Harrar will be, the next city at which the Italian thrust will be directed, and it is believed to be poorly defended. Then it will be Diredawa's turn, an important railway city,

It is stated that a motorised column' of the Tevere: Division, composed of Italian war veterans recruited abroad. would be given the honour of Brst entering Jijiga.
