A famous tank regiment which I visited, chased one Italian division right into Bardia. In the course of this task, they were subjected to formidable Italian air stincks.

On one day alone they had 18 bomber and 15 fighting attacks, but Jetterly such attacks have been en- tirely absent owing to the fact that R.A.F. has smashed up the

many miles.

As look-out points against un- expected tank callies, the Italians had established a series of pole squatters and look-out posts around the whole perimeter of the Tobruk defences. But a young officer told me that many figures corn on these poles proved to be dummies.

Tank traps have also proved for- midable and many booby traps and hidden mines were also discovered.

How Italy Took It LONDON, Jan. 23 (Reuter).—The Italian press makes valiant efforts to minimise the Importance of the fall of Tobruk.

Newspapers stress the view that the capture "cannot substantially change the course of the war" and declare that Italy is as resolved ever to light on until final victory is nch'eved.

In descriptions of the battle, great emphasis is laid on the bravery of the Italian defenders, who fought ̄qninst" Kreativ uverior forces" upan whom they inflicted serious losses in men and material."
