Emperor Haile Selassie protests Italian poison gas raids
Emperor Haile Selassie telegraphed the League of Nations to protest alleged Italian use of poison gas and bombardment of a Swedish Red Cross ambulance on the southern Ethiopian front near Dolo. He accused Italy of destroying the ambulance and harming Swedes and Ethiopians, with reports of deaths and injuries in the attack 29 miles from Dolo. The protest references the earlier Adowa hospital bombardment and notes troop concentrations bombarded by Italians.
