GAME OF SHUTTLECOCK
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, February 4
In the course of a sketch of the East African operations which culminated in the general falling back of the Italian forces, a military expert stated that the little town of Gallabat, just inside the Abyssinian frontier, and which has a bare 2000 inhabitants and is mainly composed of mud, with a fort also of mud, has been the scene through many weeks of a kind of military shuttlecock. He described the tactics by which the Italians were forced to withdraw as entirely successful and proceeding.
"We are everywhere seeing the back of the demoralised army," the expert concluded.
