SENUSSI WARRIORS IN ACTION
CAIRO, February 17. It is revealed that a unit composed of Senussi warriors, who fled from Italian rule and for a year were trained in Egypt, have been in action against the Germans. The Senussi were ordered to withdraw before the engagement reached the decisive stage, but British officers said they displayed the utmost coolness and determination, and are spoiling for a “show-down." The Senussi chanted a war hymn before the engagement, and then loosed accurate fire against an artnoured-car formation.
