LATE MESSAGES
LIBYAN FRONT.
LONDON, April 27.
According to military authorities at Cairo, the situation in the Western Desert compares roughly with that last September, when the Italians reached Sidi Barrani, although their present force is believed to be considerably less than the four to six divisions used then. Two enemy motorised columns, chiefly Italian troops, advancing eastward‘south of the Solium escarpment, have entered Egyptian territory at several points. It is believed that the enemy is not more than 20 miles from the sea. There is no indication of a sweep southwards. The British continuing harrying tactics are causing some losses to the enemy.

RUGBY, April 27.
An Air Ministry and Home Security communique states: During the day, there has been little activity over the south-east coast by enemy aircraft, a few of which have flown inland. There are no reports of any bombs having been dropped.
