War Feeling Flaring Up In Ethiopia
Leaders Find It Hard To Restrain Aroused Fighters For Their Homeland
Addis Ababa, Aug. 7-(AP)-Further evidence of Ethiopia's mounting war fever was given today when 100,000 tribal warriors passed in review before Crown Prince Assa Wusen screaming "Ebalgume" ("Mow them down"), the battle cry of Adua, where Ethiopian troops once defeated the army of Italy. Commanders are finding it difficult to restrain the aroused fighters, so intense is the war spirit. It was heightened further today when reports persisted that a Japanese military mission had started from Kobe for Ethiopia. The review for the crown prince was held on the northern plain of Wollu province, near Gondar. It was marked by dramatic interludes as the men faced Adua, 100 miles north, and shouted repeated cries of "Ebalgume". (Continued on Page Two)

An official denial was made of the impending arrival of the Japanese.
