They also left behind machine guns, rifles, several trucks and stores of emmunition. 17 Dead on Italian Side. “On our side the dead were 1 officer, 1 non-commissioned officer and 15 natives. One officer, 2 non-com- missioned officers and 60 natives were wounded. “Our detachments are completing the occupation of the region of Gabradarre, north of Gorranel” Guerilla warfare replaced military operations on a modern scale in North- ern Ethiopia as Italy’s Eritrean army devoted itself to a *“clean-up” of the conquered territory. Snipers, ambushes and fast-moving flank attacks were the difficulties with which the Italian troops had to con- tend. Tokkaze River Area Scoured. To counteract these Ethiopian tac- tics, Gen.

The two diplomats also were under- stood to have discussed the whole C, Italo-Ethiopian problem and the anti- British troubles in Egypt.
