'I‘lie "Arab Legion", next to the Royal All" Force, is Britain's chict rleliancc for scouting and haras- ing.

This force. mounted on camels. penetrates fur into Italian terri- tory, raiding outposts and harry- iniz advancing columns.

The Italian columns must cover

Iroin their base to attack British outposts in the north. and mech- snized infantry suffers as much si do marching men.

Such columns which have pene- trated beyond the Libyan border also have found their bases de- itroved, time after time. by mav- auding cavalry which supports the camel corps.

"You can ration a man to 0 quart of water dailv in that clini- illt." one informant said. "Bill You can't ration a truck or a tank or an armored car."

One so-far invisible offensive 00W proceeding against the Ital- ians is the rallying of the Eth- iopian tribesme i under the banner 0i I-Ialle Selassie, who has been recognized by the British Govern- ment its Sovereign of Ethiopia and s full nlly against Italy.
