XA series of attacks, which lasted 14 hours, says a correspondent at headquarters, was made on a front of 1200 i yards. Guards finally took high points, but not the highest in this ridge, which holds a commanding position overlooking Mejez and the country to the east. I The long slopes offer little cover from :trees. .:■■';. .■'■•.■' :.:■ ... .: ■,' \ Tunis, La Goulette, and Susa were bombed on Christmas night, and aeroI dromes in Sicily were ground-strafed.
