AN ITALIAN AERODROME 30 miles be- yond Tobruk has been taken by our forces, while the Italians have lost two posts in Abys- sinia, one being taken by Abyssinian patriots, the other by a British patrol.
A Cairo communique says that the Abys- sinians have driven the Italians out of Guba while British forces have taken an enemy post north-east of Kassala, on the Sudan frontier. British troops have reached Gazala, 30 to 40 miles beyond Tobruk and captured the aero- drome.
The communique's mention of operations has been largely due the Abyssinian patriots as the first lo our raids on their aerodromes. time they have been officially The Italians tried to make a mentioned since anti-Italian acti- fight for it on Sunday, just be- vity OTT il wide scale started in fore Bardia fell.

News of the flight of the Italians is bound to put fresh heart into the patriotic guerril- la bards which have already done quite a bit against the Ita. lians, for there have been re- ports of attacks on transports. raids on posts and the disrup tion of communications when- ever possible.
"Patrol activity on the Sudan” has been mentioned quite fre- quently of late in official communi- ques, and this activity has led to an attack on an enemy post north- east of Kussala. The Italians have evacuated from the post, which has been occupied by our troops.

An R.A.F. communique is a bit more explicit, and says that operations have now been extend- ed as far as Gazalu, on the coast over 30 miles beyond Tobruk, and that the aerodrome there has been occupied by our forces.

Three Polish pilots undergoing training 'somewhere in Eng- land" were instructed to make a trial flight and to bomb а cer- tain point in that
area.
They duly took off, but nothing was heard of them for se- veral hours. When they returned they re- ported that they had flown to Germany and discharged their cargo of bombs there.
The story of this exploit was related by Polish circles in Lon- don.
LORD HALIFAX ON HIS TASK IN WASHINGTON
LORD HALIFAX, speaking at the Pil- grims Club luncheon in London yesterday, said he could claim none of the special quali- fications of personal experience of the United States which had made Lord Lothian an ideal Ambassador, but on the other hand, he thought there was no precedent for the ad- vantage he enjoyed in passing directly from the counsels of the War Cabinet and the chair of Foreign Secretary to represent Britain at Washington.
Referring to this point, the Prime Minis- ter said he hoped that Lord Halifax, when he returned to London at any time for consulta- raids, were found on the field. tion, would resume full functions as a Minis-
