by the side of Emperor Halle Sc
laSsie's dusky warriors against
foreign legions of II Duce, En-
press Menen, of Ethiopia, warned
today.
Empress Menen outlined the
services of her sex in former cam
paigns when other Italian war
riors attempted to subdue her pla-
teau empire hemmed in by ma
larial Swamps and towering noun
tains. She declared:
"If war comes, our women will
accompany our men to the bat
tlefieldS. We shall nurse the
wounded and care for the troops,
and if necessary we'll join the
ranks and fight for our cOun-
try"
Well educated and linguist Of
ability, Empress Menen combines
the dress of Europe with the pic
turesque native garb of her own
country, in such manner that none
of her regal bearing is lost.
Halle Selassie and the Empress
have one daughter, Princess Azhai,
now in her sixteenth year. The
princess received her education in
Switzerland, and, like her mother,
is an accomplished linquiSt.
