ASKARI DESERTERS
INTERNED IN KENYA
(Received January 25, 2.30 p.m.)
LONDON, January 24,
It is officially announced from Nairobi that 380 askari reinforcements for General Graziani deserted into Kenya and laid down their arms. They have been interned at Isiolo.
Two Italian and. three native occupants of a bombing aeroplane were forced down at Daggahbur and have ari'ived at Jijiga as prisoners.1
Black Shirts numbering 1875 have left Naples for the front.
The newspaper "Temperleh" interprets the northern offensive as a repetition of the Abyssjnians' successful tactics at Abi Addi, Dembeguina Pass, as demonstrating their undiminished ability to strike when and where they like, while the Italians are thankful if they succeed in repulsing these offensives. It is probable that the Abyssinian casualties are much heavier than that of the Italians, but the maintenance of pressure robs the Italians of the role of invaders, while the rains and the sanctions crisis Come nearer and nearer. ,
