British Force Vastly
Superior, Italy Says

ROME, Jan. % (P,.-The Italian
high command announced today
that vastly superior force of Brit
ish troops had occupied portions of
the Libyan stronghold of Tobruk
after suffering especially severe
losses" inflicted by the Italian de-
tenders.
The Italians reported, however,
that their troops still were offering
strenuous resistance" in some posi-
tlons to the west of the town.
The daily war bulletin said the
Italian garrison defending Tobruk
consisted of only one division plus
several detachments of sailors and
frontier guards. Against this force
the British were said to have hurled
five full divisions.
The italian air force was reported
to have been active during the bat
tie, bombing British troop concen-
trationS. British WarplaneS were
acknowledged to have raided sew
eral unidentified objectiveS in Libya,
causing some damage"
On the East African battlefront,
the Italians said British attacks in
the Cheru region had been repulsed
with considerable losses" to the at
tackers.
Operations in the Gallabat zone
on the Sudan -Eritrea border were
said to have been limited to artillery
and patrol activity.
