Planned Big Fascist Naval Base At Tohruk

By The Canadian Prose

Mussolini once dreamed of Tobruk as a great Fascist naval base, a sort of rival to Alexandria. but this dream. like his African Em- pire, hes fallen apurt under the mnact of Allbd bomb and shell.

When British troops marched iuto the Libyan port yesterduv. for the second time in this “for. all they found were smoulderinz :ulns. Languld waves lapped at the hulks of countless ships lying like ghreis in the harbor.

Eighty miles from the Egyptian border, Tobruk has the be=r natur- al harbor in all Libya. The sur- rounding terrnlu makes it easily defended, as shown bv the epic British stand theze during the l’! months they held the town after first taking it on Jan. 22, 1941.

Lt-Gen. Sir Bernard Mont- gomery's 85h Army vuade its second eutrv less than four months after it was ejected by Marshal Rommel last Julie 22 ln one of the worst defeat; suffered lav the British in all the African fighting.

Rommel captuzed some 33.000 British prisoners nt that time and it was possible that the current Brlflsh sweep across Libyn might brlnrr liberntion of some of these.

Before the war Tobruk had e. population of 4.000. only 10 per cent of them Italians sud lhe rest Arabs.

Cross Frontier; Nazis In Tunis

To the east British 8thArmycaptaresl Tobruk; Rommel’s Army “Com- pletely Smashed".

* _ _ LONDON, Nov. lt-(Saiurduy)—(CP)—French Tun- lslan garrisons were reported fighting German tanks and parachutists in Tunis early today as dispatches said Al- lied troops had swept across that protectorate’s western frontier amid appeals by Vice-Admiral Jean Darlau for all Frenchmen to lay down their arms and join the

Allies. 8TH ARMY ROLLS ON

Far to the east in Libya the British 8th Army rolled on after occupying Tobruk without opposition, and Mar- shal RommePs fleeing remnants were being pounded by Allied armen already operating from captured Libyan air fields.

A dispatch from Allied headquarters ln North Africa told of the French Tunisian uprising against the Ger- mans who were said to be trying desperately to control the capital of Tunis. Nazi parachute troops were said to to be in control of an airport outside the capital.

TRANSPORT PLANES DOWNED

This information conflicted slightly with an earlier R.A.F_ report thst said six Italian transport planes cl-rryln: Nazi troops north across the Mediterranean had been shot down. The R-A-R had 1101100011 that the Germans were leaving their infiltrated Tunisian positions, but It also was probable that the destroyed planes were flying from T149011 gr some other point in Libya rather than from Tunisia.

CROSS FRONTIER

Allied headquarters opinion was said to be reserved 0n the pros- pect of the Tunisian Frenchmen fe5pgndifjg to Admiral’ Darlans appeal, but it was apparent that French hatred nw precipitated the battle with the Germans and this was viewed here es favorable to the Allied pOSlllOIl.
