Roaring northward from General Rodolfo Grazianfs southern base at Nezhelli, the Italian squadron hovered for more than an hour over the key Ethiopian city, situated about 25 miles east of Herar, while it dropped its deadly cargo. An Ethiopian Rod Cross ambu- lance and several big shops owned by foreigners were reported de- sfroyed in the raid, as well as hundreds of native homes and trad- ing places. Ethiopian authorities declared the raid apparently had been organized in the hope of destroying the head- quarters of Ras Ilusibu, Ethiopia's east central war commander.

GLASGOW. Scotland, March 22 More than 500.000 people are ex- pected to throng the banks of the Clyde River Tuesday when the pride of British shipbuilding, the 73,000 ton superliner, Queen Mary. is taken out to the open sea for her first trial run. Not only will a good share of the population of Glasgow be on hand to watch the departure, but spec- ial trains will bring thousands of spectators from London, Liverpool, Manchester and other large cities. Excursion boats will take the spectators to vantage poinis Oil tho banks of the Clyde, while cheap steamship cruises have been arranged to make possible a close- 11p view of the ocean giant when she is free of the channel and in open water. Most interesting to the public will be the delicate task of get- ting the enormous shlp through crooks and bends of the channel, with the keel only a few feet from the river bottom. The slightest miscalculation may lead to trouble. By using wax models of the liner and the eight tugs that will supply motive power, careful re- hearsals of the departure program have been held in test tanks. Every possible effect of high winds and current on the giant liner during the voyage to open seas has been tested in advance. (C. P.
