SMUTS' "DARKEST AFRICAN" CAMPAIGN.
RAPID ADVANCE IN DIFFICULT COUNTRY. , \ (Received 10.5 a.m.) a LONDON, March 17. A British East African official states that General Smuts is operating in the most difficult part of German country. If the enemy be thoroughly broken there the effects will be most important and likely to lead to wholesale desertions of the natives. The rapidity of the operations is possible owing to the construction of a strategic railway from Voi crossing the waterless desert linking up the British frontier. The scenes of General touts' latest successes are important military centres. It is difficult to sec what the Germans retreating along the Tanga •■ railway will do unless they strike across to the Dares Salaam-Ujiji railway •x make a stand at Tabora
