PAGE THREE Bardia New Goal BERNARDINO DAILY SUN. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1940 BUSH NNE DBMS UPON FOE'S MORALE May Continue Push Further Into Libya With Help of Navy in Blasting Italian Army By J. W. T. MASON (United Press War Expert) British troops now operating on the Libyan side of the Egyptian border are seeking to consolidate their positions in enemy territory by driving against the port of Bardia, about 10 miles within the Libyan coast line.

With the fall of that stronghold, British warships will have more favorable opportunities to cooperate in strengthening the new front. Whether the British offensive will geek immediately to press farther into Libya should depend largely on the Italian morale, and the facilities for establishing new British supply bases, The main British depot is at Mersa Matruh, about 150 miles inside the Egyptian desert, terminus of the railway running eastward to Egypt, Cairo and Suez. To continue major operations into Libya will require new advanced bases in the vicinity of the frontier. The problem of transport, however, has been modified by the capture of Solium and will be further simplified if Bardia passes into British hands. SUPPLIES LANDED These coastal positions permit supplies to be landed from ships, bringing stores and reinforcements from Alexandria.

Such an operation would be easier than organizing desert transport; but success would depend on the number of vessels the British have been able to divert for Mediterranean use. If the requirements of Atlantic shipping have compelled curtail ment of the British mercantile fleet in the Mediterranean more time will be required for organizing further pressure against Marshal Graziani. The British, however, apparently have captured great quan tities of Italian supplies, and these may be used for supporting to somb extent any immediate advance which an opening in the Italian line3 may invite. The next major objective for a continued British offensive, after Bardia, should be the Mediterranean port of Tobruk, about 75 miles west of Bardia. If Tobruk were to fall, the succeeding objective would be the port of Bomba, 50 miles farther west.

Operations against these two coastal strongholds would be as sisted by British naval bombard' ments. The distance to be traveled by the lnnd forces is not extensive for mechanized units, since the roadway within Libya presumably has been strengthened by the Italians for their use. DANGEROUS PLIGHT If the Italians were driven out of Tobruk and Bomba, their plight would become precarious. Their main base of Benghazi, about 175 miles farther west would have to be defended at all Its loss would spell complete disaster. But, in defending Benghazi, the Italians would be fighting with their backs to the Mediterranean Their only other way of retreat would be southward, Into the desert regions and so into Tripolitania, the western province of Libya, bordering the French colony of Tunis.

The nearer the British are able to press the fighting toward French territory, the more disquietude must develop among the axis lead ers concerning the eventual posi tion of the French north African colonists. Continued defeat of the Italians in Libya should have more influence than any other possible operation at thi3 time to stimulate a renewal of the belligerent spirit among the French Africans. They know one of Italy's war ob jectives is to acquire a large part of French North Africa and the territory would be lost if the axis should win the war. The British African offensive should give hope to the French of survival in Africa Thus, if the Italians are wholly overwhelmed in Libya, French colonial participation in the war might well be brought nearer.

High blood pressure is much more common than low blood pressure, and consequently the subject of low blood pressure is frequently neglected. The patient usually asks the question: "How high is my blood pressure," but many times the question should be, "How low is my blood pressure," for in a frequent number of instances the low blood pressure may be quite a serious condition. Now let us look at some of the causes of this low blood pressure.

A flabby, relaxed state of the blood vessel walls, combined with lack of exercise, and exhaustion of nerve power through wrong food habits and destructive thinking, is produc tive of low blood pressure. In fact anything which is conducive to weakness may bring about the condition. There is a long list of symptoms which accompany low blood pressure, the most common one being a pronounced weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, blurring of the vision, feeling of faintness, and a pronounced tired feeling. Quite often there is a moderate secondary-anemia which is readily discovered by taking a blood count. As a general rule low blood pressure is more pronounced early in the morning when the patient first arises, but as the day goes on and the patient is active, the blood pressure usually comes up.

It is quite common to have these patients say they feel at their best at night.
