BRITISH RETIRE AT SOLLUM
HALFAYA PASS TAKEN BY GERMANS
LONDON, May 28.
The Germans have occupied Halfaya Pass in their latest move against Egypt. An Italian communique claims that Italian and German troops have taken an important enemy position in the Solium sector and captured many prisoners. Following the launching of an attack by the Germans, the British forces in the Solium area have again withdrawn, in accordance with the British strategy in desert warfare. It is pointed out that, just as the battle in the Solium area has waved to and fro in recent weeks, it is possible that the Germans again hold Solium.
