STRENGTHENING OF MIDDLE EAST
(Rec. 9.35 p.m.) CAIRO, September 20. Tanks, guns and aeroplanes have been flowing into the Western Desert from Imperial and American arsenals in such volume in recent weeks that on the enemy’s side the process can only be described as bolting the doors and double-locking the windows. Considerable Italian reinforcements have poured in in recent months, but contact lately has not convinced the Imperial forces that their fighting spirit is any better than that of Marshal Rudolfo Graziani’s armies. While the campaigning season approaches the Army of the Nile is now stronger than at any time since the outbreak of war.
