By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.
(Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 5.
The hostile tone of the Italian Press and the presence of strong Allied squadrons at Alexandria has not. lessened anxiety over the Mediterranean situation. Despatches from Alexandria say that the fleets are now in full strength. Egypt is vigilant. The Defence Minister announced that she was prepared to repulse attack wherever it might come.
The German and the Italian Press have adopted the same theme of the superiority of air fleets over the strongest naval forces. The French Press says precautionary measures are being taken in the Balkans and Turkey, Greece and Egypt, are preparing for a sudden turn of events.
