GABE, Tunisia, Jan. 4.

SPECIAL MILITARY SIGNIFICANCE was attached to to-day's events in which M. Daladier participated, as Tunis has considerable strategic importance as a bulwark on the flanks of French North-Africa.

In south Tunis, a possible route for enemy encircle- ment has now been barred by a Maginot Line.

France's available forces in Tunis have recently been reinforced, and have behind them the entire resources of the other North-African colonics.
