The Germans threw out two ar- columns southward from moured Capuzzo to cover the right flank of this main advance simultaneously. These
were opposed by British mobile forces and throughout the night the baille swayed back and forth across miles of open country at the top of the escarpment.
Details of the fighting are not known, but this morning the British forces were reported to be holding the Germans south of Sollum.

No General Effort
The German, push does not appear to herald a general effort to pene- trate further into Egpyt: the ob- jective seems to be to secure posi- tlons which will protect their right flank and communications
