...children, with horrible gases. Hundreds of my countrymen are screaming and moaning with pain. Many are unrecognizable since the skin has been burned from their faces." Added Lord Cecil: The Italians have been proven guilty of bombing Red Cross units and have just destroyed the open city of Harar. These bombing 'outrages' might conceivably be due to mistakes, but the horrible and shameless use of gas must have been organized and authorized. . . Gas is not a product we are likely to find on the coast of East Africa. It must have been manufactured for the deliberate purpose...
Fortnight ago Italy's military position was about what it had been for a month. On the southern front Italian columns had made a spectacular dash to Wadara, then withdrew to Noghelli while food and munitions were catching up with them. Harar, overlooking Ethiopia's only railway and onetime headquarters of the Ethiopian forces opposing Italy's southern armies, had been bombed to ruins. In the north, after the great battle of Enderta and its smashing sequel at Amba Alaji (TIME, Feb. 24 et seq.), all Italy expected to see the Fascist troops sweep bravely on down...

Three-quarters of the present Empire, including Harar and Ualual, he did not rule. Haile Selassie was born 44 years ago at Harar and in 1930 succeeded his cousin Menelik's daughter, Empress Zauditu, on the Throne...
Censorship may kill authentic news, but it is fine fertilizer for rumors. Harvesters of that exciting crop last week garnered the following stories from East Africa. ¶ Having already visited Harar, Ethiopian headquarters in the South, Emperor Haile Selassie motored last week to Dessye, main Ethiopian headquarters in the North, over a road especially repaired to make the journey possible. Dessye greeted the Emperor with arches of leaves, transparent banners, and a delegation of policemen imported from Addis Ababa to keep order. Red Cross signs, traditional marks of an Ethiopian brothel, were hastily taken from the numerous houses...
