ITALY RESENTS TRIBAL ATTACK Abyssinian Tribesmen Stage Attack; Troops Are Mobilized Romo, Feb- 11- aU.PJ Duly mobHixed two divisions of troops on a war basis today as the result ot an j attack by Abysslunian tribesmen* on Italian native troops in disputed territory between Abyssinia ami Italian Somaliland. it was said authoritatively lhllt an ultimatum would be sent to the Emperor Haile Selassie 1. Abyssinia’s "king of kings," unless Italy received complete satisfaction. Premier Benito Mussolini s action today came as a portentous climax to the announcement that last night Tie sent a forceful pitstest against tiie alleged attack and called some 75.000 picked men ot I mechanised military units to the colors. No doubt was left that he is determined to end, by war if necesIsary. the raids by frontier tribesmen. The attack in question occurred January 29. Il was not known publicly until Mussolini's announceIment of last night. Men of the mechanized units assembled quietly at secret depots, 'going for a possible war against I the country from which the Queen of Sheba, as It then was. went to 'meet King Solomon and. in bearSing a son lo hint, to found the dynasty which the Emperor Haile j Selassie, "king, of kings”, now I rules. It was planned to speed the re- ’ inforcements to Eritrea and Somaliland. the Italian colonies along the east coast of Africa, ready for any eventuality. * There was talk here and abroad ' of possible war. and from Geneva and other capitals there was talk jof another Manchuria—an Italian i thrust into Ethopia or Abyssinia. : a land of fabled wealth since long ' before Christ was born If there is war it will be one j without a precedent. A war would mean the advance ' of tanks, armored cars, motorized I artillery and the indispensable inIfantry into the dark continent unj der the protecting wings of air- | planes, to wage war in a country where elephants and rhinos, hip- : popotami and wolves, roam the lowlands and crocodiles infest the waters, up into the Queen of Sheba's real mand her capital Addis Ababa, at 8,00(1 feet altitude behind a protecting wal of mountains. o Mark Twain's Friend Dead Cincinnati —<U.R> —The Rev.
