WAR OF NERVES
FAMILIAR SIGNS PROMISES IN ROME OFFSETTING DEFEAT GERMAN ONSLAUGHT ATTACK ON BRITAIN (British Official Wireloss.) Reed. 2.40 p.m. RUGBY, Dec. 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 to offset the recent Italian defeats. A German attack on Britain is promised for the early 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 in London as a familiar formula in the war of nerves.
