The enemy's resistance in East Africa is being steadily worn

down. Between Lake Nyasa and the sea, the British and Belgian columns at the end of last week achieved some considerable suc- cesses over German columns, which were driven from their positions. British aeroplanes took part in the fighting, and set the enemy's stockades ablaze with their bombs. The enemy, who had concert. trated on the Mahenge plateau, seems now to be retreating towards the hills nearer the sea, a hundred miles south-west of the port of Kilwa. Our troops, who arc marching and fighting in the African bush, are having a very hard time, bat the end of their labours is in sight.
