ITALIAN “FIGHT”
boredom and fear JARABUB GARRISON ROME “RESISTANCE" TALE NO ATTACK YET MADE (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1.40 a.m. RUGBY, Feb. 20. The Rome broadcast continues to say that Italian soldiers at Jarabub are putting up “stubborn resistance.” What form the resistance takes is not known for military circles in London are well aware that the garrison has been pursuing the usual Italian tactics in Libya. The British operations for months past, it is -pointed out, have consisted of just watching the Axis force, preventing it either being relieved or escaping.
British troops have not attacked Jarabub, for indeed this does not appear as yet necessary. Boredom and the feeling of having been abandoned by their Government are the main dangers that the Italian garrison at Jarabub have had to face so far.
