APPEAL TO CHURCHES.
HAILE SELASSIE’S CLAIM. LONDON, July 28. The former Emperor of Abyssinia, Haile Selassie, appeals to Christian Churches throughout the world to express their horror and condemnation at the “abominable outrages condoned by the Italian Government” and seeks their prayers to end them. He charges the Italian army with the murder of hundreds of men, women and children by individual soldiers, the execution of thousands, and the incineration of living people, and the torture of prisoners, and also with forcing thousands of unmarried women and young widows into concentration camps, and perpetrating outrages against Abyssinian religious belieis.
