Savage Hand-to-hand Fighting Follows It- alian Attempt To “Break” Ethiopian Offensive.

ASMARA, Eritrea, Dec. 10- Thirty thousand Ethiopian war- riors commanded by Ras Imeru, who forced Italian troops to re- tire along the Takkaze River front, have been surrounded and are in danger of annihilation, Italian oi- flcials said tonight. ltaiian outposts numerically in- ferior to the Ethiopian force, fell back to Bembe Guina Pass after a savage Ethiopian attack had been halted by tanks and machine- guri volleys in a three day battle. (Rome claimed an Italian vic- tory wiih more than 500 Ethiop- ians ancl about 300 Italians killed). “Few of the‘ Ethiopians" who drove through the Ital!an lines at Dembe Guina Bass will escape the Italians, officers asserted, saying that if they resist they will be wiped out. The officers spared no adjectives in describing the “mad courage of the Ethiopians" who drove ‘the Italian outposts back. but said the engagement gave the Italians the opportunity they “have been looking for"-to fight a batt‘e face to_ face with the enemy. Hand-to-hand fighting with knives, curved swords and bay- onet: raged as the Ethiopians st- tacked at a steeply-banked ford.

Wlthering Fire

Italian outposts, stationed on high ridges. poured withering machine gun and rifle fire down on the atrckers and the Ethiop- ians. charging blindly, were met by tanks crashing down into the valley, their guns spitting death.

Seekinw to retreat, the tribesmen were sivnfed by hastily-summoned airwaves.

However the Ethiopians fought so desperately. using every rock and tree for shelter. that numeri- cal‘_v inferior Fascist outposts were ordered back to Dembc Guina. Pass.

Akanm Objective

Italian officers estimated the Etbhnian force's to number 30.000. and mid they were commanded b“ Ras Tmeru. His oblective, the Ital- laps believed, was the Holy City of Aks-‘m.

We Regret That The List Of Neediest ‘Children Greatly Erceeds The Num- b-_' of Santa Pals. Shall Empty -St0ck- ings Greet Any Ex- pectant Child?

With the Santa Pals responses falling somewhat behind last year, it is timely to recall the method pursued in b11121; of thi i" ' ﬁrs"; charity. There is absolutely no personal soiciiatlon. No individual recdves s. letter requesting a con- tribution on or before a certain Rafe.

At this point come in the value of the gifts sent promptly. There is no doubt at all judging from previous expr- ience, that th:re are still many per- sons intending to give o their c-mparafive abundance, who have been postponing their contributions. The earlier these come, the better it will be f-r the sponsors.‘ They will serve as a stimulation to ohers. Many who might otherwise not have been moved to give anything will see the emerging list and will wish to Jain us in the good cause. The time is slipping fast.
