NAZIS GO SKY-HIGH
ANOTHER ABORTIVE ATTACK ON TOBRUK ACCURATE- FIRE OF BRITISH GUNS. PRAISED BY AUSTRALIANS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) LONDON, May 8. German infantry, with flamethrowers, made an unsuccessful attempt to dislodge the Australians from dug-outs and underground concrete posts at Tobruk, reports a British United Press correspondent inside the fortress. The alarm was given from a listening post near the front line and the attackers were driven off by heavy fire from the main defence posts. The Australians are full of praise for the British artillery. “The Germans will never get through,” said one Australian. “From the front posts we saw truck load after truck load of Germans go sky-high, as they were caught by the accurate fire of the British artillery.”
