LONDON, December 28.
Apparently unending lines of lorries are still pouring men and materials westward from the Libyan frontier for reinforcement of General Wavell's forces investing Bardia. A large number of these lorries were captured from the ■ Italians and the British drivers declare that the vehicles are excellent.
An Italian prisoner stated that the commander at Bardia-was preparing to evacuate when an urgent order was received direct from Signer Mussolini to defend the town at all costs.
The Cairo correspondent of the Associated Press says that Marshal Graziani has sent thousands of men to throw up additional fortifications at Tobruk, and that the defence of Bardia is designed to enable the completion, of the. work.
