MILITARY TACTICS
ITALIANS CRITICISED FAULTY ORGANISATION Times Cable LONDON. Nov. 5 The Times in a leading article states that qualitatively the Italian Army's performance in Abyssinia hitherto makes a poor impression, falling short of what should be expected from the improvement since the war. There are numerous signs of faulty organisation which may justify reports that communications were chaotic after the original advance. Other reports have hinted that the Italian infantry is not eager to advance unless preceded by tanks, also that when the ground is too difficult for tanks the infantry also has stopped. Some colour is given to this by the fact that native troops form the spearhead of the advance, whereas formerly they played a subsidiary role.
