FOR FIVE YEARS

THE EMPRESS OF. ETHIOPIA NEVER SMILED. Gracious and gentle, never abandoning faith in her coun- try's ultimate liberation, she has had the agony of her people under Mussolini's rule always present to her mind.

When she went to London from her home in Bath after the great news of Ethiopian successes and the falling for- tunes of the Fascist invaders, one would scarcely have re- cognised her. One saw her now as she was in her own capital-vivacious, strong, with sparkling eyes and ready smiles, the varied expressions of her eager thoughts suc- eeeding rapidly-a very gal- lant lady.

In her exiled home in Buth she has hoped and planned for the return to Ethiopia all these five years.

By SYLVIA PANKHURST

Sylvia Pankhurst, former Suffragist leader and now active worker for the cause of Abyssinian freedom, has just interviewed the Empress of Abyssinia. In this inter- view the Empress disclosed for the first time her plans to return home. Sylvia Pankhurst has been an intimate friend of. the Empress for five years, and is the editor of "New Times and Ethiopia News,"

TER AND SONS, with the Empress's youngest boy, are also at school, popular with their companions there and notable in their sports. Their home life is simple and sensible, much like that of English children, and their English governess proudly told me of their efficient war- time help in "digging for vic- tory" in the big garden, which supplies all the house- hold needs in fruit and vege- tables..

The Empress, like 'the Em- peror, regards the cause of Ethiopia as part of the cause of world freedom against the Axis, and they have both given many valuable and rare Ethiopian treasures to the British Red Cross.

HOSPITAL WORK

THE EMPRESS was active in the work of the hospitals especially that for muternity, the mothers' and babies' welfare cen- Ires, and clinies which she helped to found in Ethiopia.

When all the progressive work in which she took so zealous a share was broken off short by Mus- solini's outrageous and unprovoked aggression the Empress Menner showed her courage und her quail- ty. She called together the women of the capital, and urged them to join patriotic effort first, of which she herself was president, undertank to assist the provision- ing of the army.

Under its ausplees hundreds of women of all ranks met at the palace daily, seasoning meat with salt and pepper and other condiments, and drying it in the hot African sun. Ac- cording to Ethiopion custom, they

The Crown Prince studied with a tutor, and afterwards at Liverpool the Duke of University; Harrar at Wellington College; the Princess Tsahai, following her own ardent desire, be- came a nurse at the Children's Great Ormond Hospital, Street, and, after qualifying as a State Registered nurse, went to Guy's for further ex- perience.

The Mennen Lyceum of which she spoke the first Ethiopian high school girls, on modern European lines, was a cherished work of the Empress. She wanted to start it when the Emperor was regent and the Empress Zauditu was on the throne. The Empress Zauditu, daugh- ter of the Emperor Menelik. II, occupied the throne with the Emperor Haile Selassie, then Ras Makonnen, as Re- gent. But, steeped in the old traditions, Zauditu con- sidered such innovations un- necessary. She thought the old style schools quite suf- ficient.

When Empress Mennen came to the throne the high school was her first project. A distinguished French- woman was selected as head- mistress, and most of her as- sistants were French or British. The curriculum was the same as that of a good boys' grammar school, with gymnastics and sports, music, painting, and also domestic science.

Modern languages were a strong point. Tho school was an instant success. It started with 100 boarders, and many more day pupils. The little dark girls in their "gym" tunica vaulted and leapt and climbed with all the vim and go of British or American girls.

"The child marriage is the worst of African, customs," the Empress. told me. "My advice has been: keep your

sufferers in the hospitals. Such sad memories will never leave her, but to-day hope and impatience for the great return overwhelm all other feelings.

"My plans? To return home; to open again the schools and the hos- pitals, which tho Invaders have diverted to other uses; to continue my work which was only begin- ning; to open other high schools for the girls in all the towns; to wipe out illierney, to establish ef- Acient care of maternity and In- fancy, on the lines we had begun In the capital, throughout the coun- try."

The Italian occupation will have left behind many sad problems, with which the Express and her people will have to cope; women widowed, children orphaned, femi- lies scattered, property destroyed. Farms have been fald waste, flocks and herds wantonly slaughtered; a great rebuilding will be required. The Empress will take a capable and courageous share in the work of reconstruction.

In expressing her great joy at the prospect of going home, the Empress gave her thanks to all the United States who have helped to friends in Britain, Europe, and the defend the cause of Ethiopia and Justice, Her faith in the triumpht of justice throughout the world is firm and bright.
