CAIRO, Mar. 12 (Reuter).— British Imperial forces in Abys- sinia are smashing their way by road in lorries and trucks to- wards the important centre of Harrar.

They have covered 120 miles in two days, meeting with no resistance apart from spasmodie air attacks,

of Questioned on the possibility Italian resistance at Jijign and Harrar, a military spokesman told "Reuter":

" "Our

forces

are making a back door entry. The Italians have planned their defences to the north facing Djibuti and, did not expect an offensive from the south."

Retreat Continues KHARTOUM, Mar. 12 (Router). All round Abyssinio, British - and Abyssinian patriot troops are stendi- y beating back the Italians. The latter are fleeing from Burge to Debra Marcos, and have not at- tempted to defend the crossing of

the Tensha river, where a stand was expected.

in western Abyssinia, the British are making a double thrust along

dusty

camel tracks and through high elephant grass towards Asosa where a strong garrison is still holding out. Sudanese and East African troops captured the Alodu escarpment lay- ing open the way to Asosa after. ambushing the Italians and captur- ing four guns and much equipment.
