...Ethiopia, after the great Italian victory of Marshal Badoglio on the North Front (TIME, Feb. 24), the routed Ethiopian army of Ras Mulugheta was retreating in moderately good order across Tigre Province last week, but the fate of stragglers was hard...
...next six days, saw the whole development of a modern military engagement as few men have ever done. About ten miles straight before them was Amba Aradam, the mountain that was Italy's immediate objective.

Tactfully to stem the flood of personal publicity about Benito Mussolini's aviator sons, one of the first orders of Marshal Badoglio on taking command last November stated that henceforth neither the names of officers nor the movement of troops would be mentioned in dispatches. For his friend, Marshal Badoglio...
