SHORTAGE OF FOOD
Italians in Addis Ababa on Rations ATTACK POSSIBLE LONDON, March 14. (Received 15, 8.45 a.m.) A special correspondent of The Times, confirmiixg reports of the night of terror in Addis Ababa on February 19 when Blackshirts got out of hand, declares: "Conditions are still deplorable. There is a scarcity of everyday necessities, all Government employees are rationed and meat is a luxury. The Abyssinians decline to bring produce to the towns. "The military authorities, in view of the difficulty in catering, have decided to reduce the number of troops station®d at Addis Ababa, which many consider will mean trouble. When the rains come discontented Abyssinians may again close in on the capital. Elven now Italians dare not venture beyond certain limits except in large bodies."
