WAR DRUMS BEAT AS LION OF JUDAH SUMMON ABYSSINIANS

(By "Reuter's" Correspondent)

KHARTOUM, Jan. 13 (Reuter).The nightly brooding of the Ethiopian sky resounds to the roll of drums, spelling out a message for which the Ethiopians. have been waiting five years-that the Emperor is near at hand 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.

The last time I saw the Emperor he was disembarking at Halfa five years ago from a British destroyer after his flight from Abyssinia.

Then he was careworn and dejected; to-day, he sat on a 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 It voice vibrant with confidence, he told. nie 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 tear 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 Judal, the original of which they took to Rome."
