LATE NEWS
I LATEST FROM WAR ZONE. | Though the Italians, while not dis- | closing their own losses, claim that 14000 Abyssinians were killed in the Ganaledorya battle, officials at Addis Ababa assert that the total of Ras Desta’s troops engaged was only 4000. They declare that his transport difficulties have already been partly overcome, and reinforcements numbering 30,000 are on their way to his assistance. As far as can be ascertained, in the face of strict censorship, the only immediate strategic result of the battle seems to be that an appreciable corner of Kenya Colony separates the remainder of Ras Desta’s troops from Italian Somaliland. Moreover, if only 4000 were engaged, the action will not appreciably clear the Italians’ road to Jijiga and Harrar.
