WAR IN EAST AFRICA.
BRITISH ON OFFENSIVE.
CAMPAIGN IMPENDING.
Times and Sydney Sun Services.
London, December 31.
A correspondent at Nairobi describes the country through which the enemy is forcing his way upon Uganda as a desert covered with thorny scrub, so thick in places that an officer is unable to control more than a dozen men. This wild country is infested with lions and leopards, while the dread tsetse fly is found all through it. He adds: " We are now taking steps for an active offensive campaign, and it is likely that before long we shall be trying with all our might to force the Germans to defend their best country."
