SOLLUM ENTERED
R.A.F. CONTINUE PRESSURE SUPPLY LINES HARASSED NO CHANGE AT TOBRUK London, April 2S Germans and Italians occupied Soilum on April 26, according to military sources in Cairo, but harassing tactics by a British armoured division have so far prevented further penetration. The R.A.F. continues to hammer the enemy's lines, destroying reinforcements and supplies, and the position is regarded as satisfactory. A Cairo communique, received by British Official Wireless, says there is no change at Tobruk. In the Solium area yesterday enemy detachments, which had penetrated five or six miles across the frontier on the previous evening, made little or no progress. Light elements of a wellknown British armoured division were once again in contact with the enemy. Operations continue satisfactorily in ail Abyssinian areas.
