RESTRAINT IMPOSSIBLE. HUNDREDS REPORTED DEAD. IMPETUOUS RAID ON ENEMY TRENCHES. United Press Association. —Copyright.—Rec. 1.30 p.m. LONDON, October 22. Dedjazmatch Ayeleu, one of the commanders on the northern front, was wounded. He was unable to restrain the impatience of his troops, who rushed madly against stronglyentrenched Italians. Hundreds of Abyssinians are reported to have been killed.
The Abyssinian Legation in London states that it has impartial technical evidence to substantiate the charge that the Italians are using poison gas and dumdum explosive bullets. It adds: "We warn the Italian forces that if they continue to use such ghastly methods against simple, unarmed people it will not be possible, notwithstanding the Emperor's order, to restrain the wilder bereaved section of the Abyssinian Army from retaliating with some similar savage method on Italian prisoners.
"Therefore we humbly and earnestly beg the Italian Ambassador, instead of troubling to deny what is true, kindly to advise his people to fight fairly if they must fight brave, unarmed people."
