DESTRUCTION OF ENEMY
SOMALILAND FIGHTING WASTEFUL ENTERPRISE (Unlt«d Prejs Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 12, 12.10 p.m.) CAIRO, August 11 A General Headquarters’ statement on the position in British Somaliland says: “Our goal is the destruction of the enemy's forces. It is not our object to defend every inch of soil but rather to make the enemy use up his precious supplies of food, petrol and ammunition, which he cannot replenish in what strategically is a wasteful enterprise. Any immediate successes of the enemy in the occupation of parts of the protectorate will be offset by the necessity of providing food for the population, which is entirely dependent upon Aden for many essential supplies.
