ITALIAN CLAIMS SCOUTED
THOUGH HEAVY LOSSES. TROOPS CAUGHT BY ARTILLERY ' (Press Association. —Copyright.) Addis Ababa, February 17.. Semi-official views minimise the Italian victory at Endenta, but admit heavy Abyssinian losses, explaining that the defenders were too closely concentrated when the Italians began the intense bombardment in order'to cover the sortie from Makalle.
General Badoglio's claim that the Abyssinians lost Tembien is scouted by a member of the Red Cross, Dr. Brophil, who denies the Italians reached all points whose occupation they claim, but their arrival at Atlo is confirmed.
