DRAMATIC STORY OF ATLANTIC BATTLE BETWEEN

Axis Powers Frankly Admit England's Might BLITZKRIEG AGAINST BRITAIN UNLIKELY

(SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH")

ROME, July 31, (UP).—It is believed that Hitler has now given up the idea of a Blitzkrieg against England.

This is suggested by Signor Gayda, the official "mouthpiece" of Mussolini who, writing in the "Giornale d'Italia" says that the present Axis tactics in an attack against England will consist of continuous hammering against the British Isles and vital points of the Empire, instead of employing Blitzkrieg methods..

THESE EVACUEES ARE EN ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA

New Tactics

Guyda divides the war against Britain into two ports: festly, the setting up of an internal Nazisation of the British Isles; secondly, cutting off the British Isles from the rest of the world.

The war which is being fought; against England and the British Em- pire is really a decisive event for Europe's destiny uniter the new urder"
