Chief Constable Canning would not reveal how many of his own men he plans to deploy along his charges' route, but admitted the number was between ten and 20. "It's not like your Secret Service," he explained. "We have a couple of men near by, but we work chiefly in the crowds. I mean, there's where we have our men. We've found that is the most successful...
What happened was that the Ethiopians were beginning to fight. Shrewdly they had waited until the Italian advance was slowed and tangled in the narrow mountain passes. Heavy trucks were tearing impassable ruts in the new roads almost as quickly as they were built. Artillery could not unlimber or deploy. Tanks were jammed between boulders.

Last week Turkish and Persian statesmen hailed this achievement in toast after brimming toast. They then talked behind their ever-itching palms about British oil, by all odds the juiciest...
