Thr attack is reported to be one of the strongest British offensives of the war. The first reports to come through claimed that the British had gone almost fifty miles into Italian«â€" held territory. American observers are in the front lines with the British soldiers to get firstâ€"hand information on the perforâ€"« mance of their equipment. Practically all of the equipment being used in the drive is mechanized equipment that has been developed since the start of the war. American lendâ€"lease supplies have been shipped to the British held territory in Africa and the African army is said to be wellâ€"equipped with this upâ€"toâ€"date fighting machinery. Omne British spokesman said that the British army has gained positions of marked advantage. He adds that the British have waited five months for the order to attack and that they are now in a better position than they have been since the start of the war. A large number of the weapons being used are making their first appearance in this war and will no doubt surprise the enemy to a large degree. The first impact of the gigantic land assault carried the Empire troops fifty miles into Libya British spokesmen said The attack started south of Sidi Omar and at the same time units of the Briâ€" tish flieet bombarded axis positions in Halfaya. Reports filtered through of the early successes and it was announcâ€" ed that operations were continuing according to plan. Because of the speed of modern war, a glash with the enemy troops was considered to be in the near future. f From the direction that the attacks are pointed it appearr that the beseig~ ed British forces in Tobruk will be freed soon. They have been beseiged in Tobruk since the British invasion of Libya early last Spring and have continued to hold out and have even launched a number of counter attacks that have harrassed the enemy.

Worked at Delnite Mine Beâ€" fore Leaving District. Major J. H. Cornthwiate of the Sal«â€" vatio Army has been by the Men‘s Social Secretary of the Army to locate Jack Edward Kosterow, whose last known address was 174 Toke street Timmins. Major Cornthwiate has enâ€" listed the help of The Advance in the hope that Mr. Kosterow will be speedily located, as the matter is of much imâ€" portance, and The Advance has helped in the location of others whom the Army was seeking. Usually the Salvaâ€" tion Army‘s Missing Persons Dept. is looking for people on account of memâ€" bers of the family or friends. In this case, however, the man is sought in his own interests. "If he is there, tell him that there are certain important paâ€" pers which he must sign immediately in his. own interests, and for him ts contact this department at once," writes Lt.â€"Col.

Merritt, If anyâ€" one in town or district knows the preâ€" sent location of Mr. Kosterow, they will be doing a favour to him if they lwill prevail upon him to get in touch with the Salvation Army here or at headquarters.
