possible for us to share the Christ

And from another letter:
Il am going to buy clothes and
things which my six boys need so
much. 1 hope every one will have
as happy a New Year as they have
tried to make ours"
Another mother wrote that the
check was welcomed because 81 had
thought I would not be able to get
my little girl much of a gift for
Christmas"
THE check Is certainly ap-
preciated," wrote a mother, "as the
family seems to require so much
more this year. The youngest child
goes to school this year and she
needs so many warm clothes that
I shall put most of the check on
her."

The attacks followed a daylight

have started explosions in a big
aluminium plant.
Today's communique said British
planes dropped "a small number of
explosives and incendiaries" at a

there was only Slight damage to

Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham,
British commander in chief in the
Far East, announced today that
substantial reinforcements Of all
arms have recently arrived in Ma
laya."
'The reinforcement include air
craft, air force personnel, members
of Indian infantry, artillery, engi-
neers and auxiliaries," the official
announcement said.
THE reinforcements not only
strengthened already formidable de-
lenses at Singapore, but also in
creased defense forces in other areas
OF the Far East command"
The Far East command includes
Malaga, Burma and Hong Kong.
Informed quarters said the REIN
forcements included additional units
of Australian and New Zealand air
forces.
Sir Shenton Thomas, Governor of
the Straits Settlements, announced
In broadcast yesterday that the
mainland of Malaga as well as
Singapore and Penang were being
placed in state of defense.
The great naval base of Singapore
guards Britain's communications
with the Far East, Australia and
New Zealand and stands as a power
behind Netherlands forces in the
Netherlands Indies, important pro-
Queer of oil, tin and rubber.
A thousand miles to the north of

broiled with French Indo-C China in

sporadically into bombings. artillery
exchanges and other incidents.
Another 500 miles to the north the
Chinese are feeding supplies to the

What hard

choice is open now?
1T is to stand up to the battery
of the whole British Empire on
the sea, in the air and in Africa
and in the vigorous counter attack
of the Greek nation; or, on the
other hand, to call in Attila over
Bremen Pass with his hordes of
ravenous soldiery and his gangs
of Gestapo policemen to occupy,
hold down and protect the Italian
people for whom he and his Nazi
followers cherish most bitter and
outspoken contempt that is on rec
ord between races.

10, therefore, I ordered a retreat.
This was carried out fairly regularly
by the Cantanzaro division UP to the
heights of Tishidada, when the
march was encircled and caught in
the fire of armored cars and thrown
into disorder.
THE sacrifice of some detachments
which resisted until December IL
permitted two-thirds of the division
to reach our lines at Salum.
Fierce Fight in Square.
THE Cirene division, on the other
hand, escaped the enemy's grip bet
ter, but arrived rather tired at Hal
faya.
"On the night of December IL,
while the remaining defenders at
Sid Barrani and Maktila-encir-
cled for three days-offered the last
fierce resistance, the vanguard of
the enemy of armored columns
closed in on our troops at Halfaya,
attempting to envelop their right
flank"
From December Is to Is fierce
fighting took place in the square
area between Halfaya, Sidomar, Ca
puzzo and Salum, where Marshal
Graziani said intrepid" Gen. Ber-
gonzilos troops. in counterattack-
ing, succeeded in eliminating the
threatening enemy infiltrations
which. were attempting to cut the
italian line in two and seperate it
from the fortified city of Bardia.
On the night of December Is,
while new mechanical columns
pressed in concentric maneuver
toward Salum, Gabrabu and Faizes,
and the group at Sidomar already
was appearing at Sidi Azeiz, all of
Gen. BergonZoli's troops fell back
in perfect order" on Bardia, where
Marshal GRAHAM said they ARE
still holding out against enemy at
tack with gallantry equal to the
decisive will to resist to the end"
An idea of the Italian fighting in
the desert can be obtained, the
marshal reported, from the figures
showing that Italian bombing planes
had flown 900 hours, the fighters
1900 hours, and that two torpedoes
and $4,000 bombs weighing 1000
tons had been dropped and 1900
rounds of machine gun ammunition
fired.

end of Loeb Ness Canal in West
ern Scotland despite unfavorable
weather and then to have put a
large factory power plant out of
operation with a single heavy
bomb dropped in low dive.
Other hits were reported on the
factory itself, where sections of the
building were said to have collapsed.
German submarines sank two
merchantmen, one of $4,000 tors
and one Of 5000 tons, these sources

The situation on land in the bat

it said.
Fascist planes attacked a British
advance base and renewed their
attacks on British armored equip

said.
The British, meanwhile, bombed
some centers in Libya, killing one
and injuring three, the commune
que added.
In localities of the Upper Su-

fish counter invasion, struck oil to

How far these advance units pene-
trated toward Italian Marshal
Rodolfo Graziani's next line OF de-

however, that no sign was seen
of an italian rescue" drive to
save the troops at Bardia.

son to hold up the British while
GRAHAM strengthened new defenses
to the west, at Tobruk, Derna and
Bengasi.
There was no indication how soon
the British might try to collapse
the Bardia defense. Observers be-
lieved they would try to take the
town at as small cost as possible by
DELAYING direct assault until bonn
bardment, now in its seventh day
could crack Fascist resistance.
The British reported last night
that IT'S Italian planes had been
destroyed with loss of IA British
planes in the fortnight since the
army of the Nile turned the tables
on Grazianis invasion army In

marshal GRAHAM, in a re-
port yesterday to Premier MUS

been downed and possibly 70
others. In that report GRAHAM
laid his army's setback largely
to the fact that tank units he
expected from Italy early in De-
