ROAR OF GUNS
TERRIFIC BOMBARDMENT OF TOBRUK
ITALIANS WELL SUPPLIED WITH ARTILLERY.
NO SIGN OF ENEMY AIR FORCE
(By Telegraph--Press Association—Copyright i LONDON. January 10. A special correspondent of "The Times" outside Tobruk states: “From the ridge where I am writ- , ing I can see the British guns hammering at Tobruk’s defences. The Italian guns are replying, and at times the volume of sound swells into a regular roar. It is the heaviest artillery fire I have heard in this theatre of war. "The Italians do not appear to lack guns or ammunition, both of which
they are using liberally. "Whereas during the first days of ’ the siege of Bardin aircraft played the i principal part in the attempt to inter-i fere with the British approach, here i the artillery is the only enemy arm in j evidence. The Italian air force has! completely faded out, and there is no! sign of other ground troops."
