ITALIAN PRISONERS ARRIVING IN THEIR THOUSANDS
(From Reuter's Special Correspondent
in Alexandria)
LIGHT UNITS OF THE British Navy, bat- tling through waves whipped by sandstorms sweeping out to sea from the Desert, continue to pour their thousands of Italian prisoners into temporary camps at ports, including Alexandric.
Since the fall of Sidi Barrani 54,000 pri- soners have been conveyed to Egyptian ports but yesterday's batch was the first from Tobruk.
As the ship bringing Tobruk prisoners approached the harbou port-holes were filled with head i with surprised faces gazing at
tu convoys of lorries drawn up escort them to camp--surprised because they had been told that; Alexandria had been levelled to the ground.
Another il usion Was that ta- lian armies were pushing victor- iously through Greece.
The disembarkation was rapid- ly carried out as dust-covered figures in grey coats filed down the gangway carrying knapsacks Elankets and battered suitcases of varying sizes.

ARMY NOW 'ALL FOR' A.T.S. GIRLS
"Those who were against them are now all for the girls in khaki, When this war is over I shall be sorry if I have to replace some of the A.T.S. women working with me by men.'
An officer holding a high posi- tion in an executive branch of the Army in the North of England eave hat opinion about the greal A.T.S. "scandal."
"You can knock out the word 'scandal' at once." he said. "The only 'scandal' left, when all the eticiam there has been is an. alysed, is the failure of many of us to realise sooner, the great value of the work the A.T.S. could de; and is now doing, for this country as part of the Brit ish Army,
"In some miliary. circles the A.T.S. was looked upon with suspicion.
