HeodIong Flight
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
BY ROGER ID. GREENE,
Associated Press War Editor.

The great 2,500-mile Allied
pincers sweep against the Axis
armies in North Africa was fast
closing today as British troops
captured historic Tobruk, 80
miles inside Libya, and indica-
tions arose that the Axis might
be quitting Tunisia.
From Agadir, westernmost land
ing place of American expeditionary
forces in Morocco, to Ell Alemein,
where the British Egyptian offensive
started, the distance is approxi-
mately $500 miles, covering the
whole arc of North Africa.
American and British columns are
now reported near or on the Tunis-
ian border, 1000 miles east Of
Agadir.
With the 3O5-mile British advance
from Ell Alamein to Tobruk, the
gap between the two armies thus
stands at less than 1000 miles.
Nazis COncede Loss of Port,
British headquarters announced
that the victorious British desert
armies entered Tobruk this morning
and the Axis was in headlong
flight.
They had previously captured
Bardia, Is miles inside Libya, and
Halfaya cHellfire"D Pass on the
Egyptian-Libyan frontier.
The German radio conceded the
loss of the prize Mediterranean
citadel within an hour after a spe-
clal British war bulletin announced
its capture.
This was the second time the
port, in Axis hands since last June
%, had fallen to the British.
Rommel in Wild Flight.
Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel's broken armies were now ap-
parently in wild flight as the British
reported that waves of Raj planes
swept low over retreating Axis truck
and troop columns fleeing from
Tobruk to Gazala, 80 miles further
| west.
British mobile columns were re-
ported in hot pursuit of the retreat
ing Nazis, who previously had
abandoned most of their Italian
Allies in the Egyptian desert in an
attempt to make good their own
escape.

New Mediterranean Attack
Hinted by Berlin Radio

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Axis fears
of new Allied thrust in the Eastern
Mediterranean were indicated by a
Berlin broadcast today.
1t quoted Transocean dispatch
from Ankara as saying:
Reports of important shipments
of troops and war material in the
neighborhood of Cyprus continue to
circulate in diplomatic quarters and
these reports are believed to indi-
cate the possibility of British at
tack on the Dodecanese Islands
Italian possessions off Turkey S
southwestern coast.)'
The broadcast went on to say
that the alleged British moves were
causing uneasiness in Turkey since
British attack would mean carry
ing the war into the immediate vi
cinity of Turkish territory
German allegations of Allied ac-
tivity in certain area sometimes is
preliminary to a German thrust in
that direction. Recent dispatches
have reported German troop move
ments into Greece and elsewhere
in the Balkans.
