ADDIS ABABA
DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS ABYSSINIA UNCONQUERED LONDON, Sept. 11. A Canadian, Miss Freda Collier, ex-secretary to her brother, who was governor of the Bank of Ethiopia, has arrived in London. She was driven out of Ethiopia after nine years. She said anyone thought to be unfriendly to Italy was told to go. Addis Ababa was in a deplorable state. Most of the native Abyssinians had got out, and those remaining did what they were told under threat of being put against a wall and shot. The country was by no means conquered. Italians in Addis Ababa were continually being attacked. Many Abyssinians who had buried their rifles during the Italian advance were now recovering them. The Italians intended to raise a large army in Abvssinia. The soldiers were being openly tSld that the next move was to the Sudan.
