LULL ON BATTLEFRONT
ROAD-MAKING PRODIGIES CLOSE MILITARY CENSORSHIP LONDON, Oct. 13 The lull on the northern battlefront of Abyssinia is maintained. Prodigious feats of road-making have been performed by Colonel Riccardi and 500 engineers who, working day and night, completed a motor road with by-passes to Adowa. A extra ration of wine was distributed to the troops to render more palatable the African food, in the cooking of which the soldiers are sacrificing their spaghetti. Mr. Noel Monks reports from Addis Ababa that so close is tho military censorship that no word of the happenings on the' frontier has been given out for four days, and the hostility to journalists is getting worse daily. Twice yesterday British journalists were attacked by fanatical natives near tho Press Bureau.
