ITALY IN AFRICA

REVISION OF PLANS NEW GENERAL’S MOVE Received Nov. 27, 11.30 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 27. Military experts believe that General Badoglio’s arrival in East Africa will result in some revision of the Italian plans, especially in the north, where each forward move is dependent on road construction. They suggest that he may now attempt to advance more quickly by light columns without wheeled vehicles, using only mule and camel transport. r t is also reported that they may launch an entirely new attack from tbt extreme west of Eritrea along the foothills on the Abyssinian side of the Sudan frontier, which might enable the light Italian columns to occupy the Lake Thana area in two or three days in the absence of strong opposition. ITALY’S CAMPAIGN COLLECTION OF TROPHIES Received Nov. 27, 11.20 p.m. ROME, Nov. 27. The campaign for the collection of gold and old iron proceeds apace.
