HAILE SELASSIE RETURNS
Triumphant Entry Into Capital
LONDON, May 6. The Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, made a triumphant re-entiy to Addis Abbaba yesterday, the sixth anniversary of the invasion of his country by the Italians. It was five years almost to the day since the Emperor was forced to leave his capital. The Negus was welcomed by the British Commander-in-Chlef in East
Africa (Lieutenant-General A. G. Cunningham), his two sons, the Crown Prince, who has just been made a Lieutenant-General in the Ethiopian Army, and the Duke of Harar. There were enthusiastic scenes in the city, the route of the royal procession being lined with the Ethiopian colours. Since he never relinquished his claim to the throne, the Emperor will not have a second coronation.
