IT'S A SEASONABLE TIMK

THE NEW KING OF ETHIOPIA.

(Continued from Paga 1.) .

A Leader of Men,

Ras Tafari knows that ho is Em- peror of Ethiopia only by courtesy of the other Rasses or chiefs of Abyssinia. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown in this black empire. But the new King is a natural leader of men, and not want- ing political sagacity. When, in the spring of 1924, be announced his intention of visiting the capitals of Europe, hie adviacre spared no efforts to dissuade him. Thoy point- ed out that his enemies would almost certainly seize the opportu nity offered by his absence from the country to, plot against him. The proposed journey might easily ro- sult in his overthrow,

But Ras Tafari, having made up his mind, persisted. He guarded against a political unheaval by en- truating the reine of power to men in whore loyalty he had implicit confidence. At the same time he invited the more dangerous of his enemies to accompany him-a tempting invitation which, as they knew only too well, it was not safe to refuss.

Rich ?"

It is difficult to discover whether Rras Tafari is a very rich man. Hia personal-fortuné has been estimated at a few thousands, and again at some millions of pounds. Ho cer- tainly does not live in any parti- cularly lavish fashion at bis palace in Addis Ababa. On an occasion like the present coronation, all the! riches and luxury of which Ethiopia is capable, are displayed before the
