EARLY GERMAN ATTACK ON
BRITAIN
(British Official Wireless.) (Received December 30, 1 p.m.)
RUGBY, December 29.
Agency news messages show that neutral correspondents in Rome are now receiving hints from official circles there of important developments of a decisive nature in the very near future, and they report that the Italian public is being persuaded to expect some early favourable move tc offset the recent Italian defeats.
A German attack on Britain is promised for early in the New Year. Italian newspapers are telling their readers that the attack will take place in a surprise form and that many new secret weapons will be used.
This last touch is recognised here as a familiar formula in the war of nerves.
