MAVMK THERESA KENNEDY

cation in the New York tfiagazine
is a result of this study.
The article by Miss Kennedy i>
presnntcti~' arid; richly' illus
trated with plates, tables and
graphs and is colored with infor*
mation'-AKhich is the outcome of
directed study.
.The Palmetto LeadiT^congratiT^
latcs Miss Kennedy' and hopes
that she can find sufficient encouragement
and support that will
cause her to continue research
work in her field.
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.
