GIFTS GO ASTRAY
MUNITIONS FOR REBELS ABYSSINIANS BENEFIT LONDON. March 21 Apparently not aware that a revolt by tribesmen in the Gojjam province had been suppressed, Italian airmen dropped four machine-guns, rifles, revolvers and 10,000 rounds of ammunition for the use of tho rebels. Loyal Abyssinian troops delightedly picked them up.
The third bombing of Jijiga has caused women war workers and every available tailor to devote their entire time to making rudimentary flannel gas masks at a rate of 1000 a week, but these are useless against modern gas unless chemically treated. Harrar also has been bombed from the air.
A message from Rome says an Italian aeroplane crashed on the Eritrea front, the four occupants being killed.
