THE DRL'MS OF KTHIOPIA Tile Italians may have to make a hasty retreat from the confines of Ethiopia?the coveted little N'? pro kingdom which they took from the noted Haile Selassie. Thcl forty war drums of the tribesmen are beating "onvnious" tones, and the tribesmen are 1 cing schooled by British military-Ie .ders for the important avenge upon the wicked foes of Mussolini's troops in Ethiopia. The story as told in a recent editorial in the Tribune of Detroit, Mich, points to what may happen at an early date in Ethio pin. We quote: j^.. . "'Jfieager reports filtering thru from?- the* battici'zone in East Africa;,where the Italians are stcad. jlv being pushed back by the British, tell us that llaile Selassie of Ethiopia and his native ffibbsmon are beginning to play ap important part in the conflict. -Selassies famous forty war drums, we _ are informed, have begun boating again in omnious tones, calling the native warriors together in preparation to avenge the invasion of their country. .<' ? According to reliable reports, a> secret British rrritttary mfssrorr made a successful journey from - Egypt to.Ethiopia several month ago, carrying -arms and military instructors to the* natives. Among the British mission were men familiar ^with the . conquered country and able to' speak the language of the natives. They have been secretly and industriously at work, training the warriors and supplying them with cTrnrsf and ammunition* until ' at present many thousands of Selassie's* tribesmen are reported to be well armed and ready to strike against tho Italians in South and Southeastern Ethiopia, when the sipr nal is piven. They will aid in a concerted catrfpaipn to help the British make a crushing victory and drivlc the Italians out of Ethi opia. "If all these reports arc* true, and there is every indication thai they are, then we may^Xpect soon to see the black warriors of tho Lion of Judea fi/htii.tj like dcm I ons. They will swarm against | the invaders like an angry Hood supported by British bombers .and armored tanks and the wild boating of war drums. ? HAMRTON,Bl 'II.DKKo CONFEKENCE TO EXPLORE I)EFENSK .
