THE DRL'MS OF KTHIOPIA

Tile Italians may have to makea hasty retreat from the confinesof Ethiopia.the coveted little N'»pro kingdom which they took fromthe noted Haile Selassie. Thclforty war drums of the tribesmenare beating "onvnious" tones, andthe tribesmen are 1 cing schooledby British military-Ie .ders for theimportant avenge upon the wickedfoes of Mussolini's troops inEthiopia. The story as told in arecent editorial in the Tribune ofDetroit, Mich, points to what mayhappen at an early date in Ethiopin. We quote:

j^.. "'Jfieager reports filtering thrufrom?- the* battici'zone in East Africa;,wherethe Italians are stcad.jlv being pushed back by the British,tell us that llaile Selassie ofEthiopia and his native ffibbsmonare beginning to play ap importantpart in the conflict. -Selassiesfamous forty war drums, we

_ are informed, have begun boatingagain in omnious tones, callingthe native warriors together inpreparation to avenge the invasionof their country. .<' .

According to reliable reports, a>secret British rrritttary mfssrorrmade a successful journey from

- Egypt to.Ethiopia several monthago, carrying -arms and militaryinstructors to the* natives. Amongthe British mission were men familiar^with the conquered countryand able to' speak the languageof the natives. They havebeen secretly and industriously atwork, training the warriors andsupplying them with cTrnrsf andammunition* until ' at presentmany thousands of Selassie's* tribesmenare reported to be wellarmed and ready to strike againsttho Italians in South and SoutheasternEthiopia, when the siprnal is piven. They will aid in aconcerted catrfpaipn to help theBritish make a crushing victoryand drivlc the Italians out of Ethiopia.

"If all these reports arc* true,and there is every indication thaithey are, then we may^Xpect soonto see the black warriors of thoLion of Judea fi/htii.tj like dcm-

ons. They will swarm against |the invaders like an angry Hoodsupported by British bombers .andarmored tanks and the wild boatingof war drums.
