CAIRO. Feb. 26.-British troops

British column near Bengasi to
provide the twin highlighis of
Briiain's African war.
The capture Of Mogadiscio, a
city of some $4,000 and the cen
trail Italian supply base in east
Africa, means another crushing
blow to the chances of Italian
survival in Africa.
British motorized troops made
an amazing record in lancing
through Italian defenders and
into the capital at the rate of 210
miles in three days. There was
no opposition at the city, itself,
and a communicate reaching

, was taken by surprise and over
powered.
Advance forces of Sir Archi-
bald Wavell's army, advancing
toward Tripoli about 100 miles
west of the captured Libyan city
of Bengasi, said they had encoun-
tered German mechanical force
which attacked them, but was
beaten off.
Rome claims the battle is still
in progress and that German
forces routed the British advance
guard and captured many prison
