General Van de Venter in East Africa is now rapidly

drawing tight the cordon round the messy troops. His small columns, moving from all points of the compass between Lake Nyasa and the sea, are steadily driving the Germans towards the Mahenge district, south of the Rufiji Valley. On July 19th our troops from the coast at Kilwa had a very hard fight with the enemy's main body in the hills at Narongombe, where we could only use mountain. guns, and drove him out of all his positions with heavy loss. The parties which invaded Portuguese territory are being cleared out. From Palestine General Allenby reports a successful trench raid on the Turkish lines outside Giza on Friday week. One Turkish officer and one hundred and one men were brought back as prisoners.
