and that the moment of deliverance is not far off.
In a special interview granted me by the Lion of Judah, I learned that the dark, bearded, distinguished Emperor has already made contact with the Ethiopian chiefs from the interior.,

Then he was careworn and defected; to-day, he sat purple silk-covered wooden throne in his little square palm- fringed palace beside the placid waters of the Blue Nile.
Alert and bright-eyed, he is another being. In a voice vibrant with confidence, he told me of his plans-that the day was not far distant when he would cross the border and lead the Ethiopian patriot army against the enemy.
"There was a glint of assurance in his eyes as he exlaimed, "I will lear down the figure of the wolf erected by the Italians in Addis Ababa Square and in its place, will reinstate the, white marble statute of the Lion of Judah, the original of which they took to Rome."
