DESSYE, Ethiopia. Jan. 10. (U.P)—Ethiopian warriors, their fury a white heat after months of restraint, are attacking Italians on all fronts, reports to Emperor Haile Selassie’s war headquarters indicated today.

Aided by rains pouring weeks before they were due, the warriors are reported to be attacking at every possible point, hoping to break the Italian morale—which is believed here to be below par. For weeks the Italians have made no advance while Ethiopian guerrilla bands have constantly attacked isolated outposts at night.

Reports to headquarters today told of an Ethiopian annihilation of an Italian tank and machine gun detachment on the far southern front in which many Italians were killed and one officer captured. The reports said the Ethiopians used tanks, and these were believed to be the ones captured long ago at Anale and reconditioned for use against their original owners.

The Native Question – Boundary Issues

KIHIKIHI, 20th May.

The southern boundary of the territory mentioned in Rewi’s proposals as from Taupo to Pukehau is undefined, as many of the places laid down in proposals are unknown to Government and Europeans — in fact the whole of the boundaries are only tentatively given. In the northern portion of the reserve the King is reported to have some interest. The boundaries of this block will have to be surveyed.

It will be noticed that by the action of the Government the original proposal at Hikurangi to make Tawhiao a kind of independent princelet in this territory is now abandoned.
