The week's ne ws from Tripoli is very meagre. All

that we know is that a large number of Italian reinforcements have landed, and that an attack made on the Italian lines by the Turks or Arabs was repulsed, the newly arrived soldiers, though under fire for the first time, fighting with great gallantry. No doubt the Italians are engaged in carefully preparing for an attack in force on what we may term the besiegers. The only other item of war news is that the Italian Foreign Office has formally notified to the Powers the annexation of Tripoli and Cyrenaica.
