ATTACK ON EGYPT
BY ITALY LOOMS
Squirt In Military Activity
In Northern Part OF
Africa Is Reported

CAIRO, Egypt, Aug. 27.-R-A
squirt in Italian military activity in
North Africa and fascist press re-
elimination against Egypt led Brit
ish observers to the conclusion to-
day that Premier Mussolini soon
will send his troops across the
desert against this passive ally of
Britain.
These informants expressed the
conviction, too, that Marshall Ro-
dolfo Granziani, Italian comman-
der in Africa, would be forced to
launch his drive shortly because he
could not go on indefinitely with
standing the pummelling of Brit
ish sea and air bombardments.
Granziani is reported concentrat.
ing on re-garrisoning Fort Capuzzo,
western desert frontier post bat
tered into virtual ruins by the Brit
ish. Apparently he wants to make it
front line base for a campaign
into Egypt.
British military men say, how
ever, that the Smelling of Bardia
and Bomba, militarized Libyan
ports on the Mediterranean, and
the seaplane base of Derna with
little or nc Italian opposition indi-
Gates that the grizzled Italian COM
mander has left his rear virtually
unprotected.
His latest setback came early
last Saturday with the Smelling of
Bardia, 80 miles from the Egyp-
tan border, by British warships
which penetrated the harbor itself.
The British said they disrupted
troop concentrations and leveled
supply bases, firing at point-blank
range.
