ITALIANS' ORDEAL
ABYSSINIAN TERRITORY SURROUNDED BY REBELS ROME, Jan. 27 The Army Journal belatedly publishes an account of the privations of 400 Italians who wore surrounded in Lalibela by Abyssinian rebels in the rainy season during the whole of August and September. Airmen flew 200 miles from Diredawa daily dropping food and munitions to the beleagured force and harassing tjie besiegers. In the same period the Italians protectively dropped 6834 bombs on the railway between Addis Ababa and Moggio.
