much interest is manifested as 70
whether it will consist of all the troops

among the officers is that an effort will
be made to rush part of the troops off

with Camara's fleet. A prominent Off
Ger said that the matter of convovs

There seems to be no material differ
ence IN the number of soldiers in Carnn

nave departed, there have been so
many new arrivals that there seems to
be as many soldiers as ever.
