Theie is also practically no air resistance. Sixty to seventy thousand prisoners have already been counted and the Axis lias also lost 500 tanks and 1,500 guns. Seventy-five thousand Italians, abandoned by the Germans who took away all food, supplies and arms in their retreat, are still waiting to be picked up by the Itritish. No more than twenty thous and men of Rommel's once proud army of 110,000 remains. The Itritish Eighth Army has made further contact with the rearguard of Marshal Erwin Rommel's fleing forces, now across Uie Libyan border iut of Egypt. Between C0.O00 and 70,000 Axis prisoners have so far been taken. Only rearguards of Rommel's army remained in Egypt today as beaten remnants of the force which once threatened Suez fled into Libya. Itritish headquarters announced today that these rearguards I were engaged yesterday at Sidl Raranni and Salum with ttarir swift liquidation regarded as certain. Some of the icinnanls of the fleeing African Corps had shook loose from the advancing British Eighth Army yesterday and plunged across the Egyptian border into Libya in the vicinity of HaKaya Pass despite heavy Allied air bombardment that made the route nearly Impassable. Itritish forces which had been making a desperate effort to catch the back prdalling enemy plunged into Libya only a 'few hours behind the rear of the Axis troops. The fcllualion in llalfaya Pass was dcscriDca as ronfusine with Allied pilots talning relentless pounding of the enemy. POP ON THE LINE W1IITEVIIXE.

The aged Marshal Henri Phillippe Petain has himself shouldered the burden of commanding the French forces, replacing Admiral Jean Darlan who is a prisoner of the Americans. The Germans are reported to have sent Field Marshal Edwin von Witzleben to North Africa to direct Vichy forces on the field. A Vichy broadcast says that the American force is driving toward Rou Saada, 120 miles east of Algiers, in a direct line toward the Libyan Desert, indicating a possible attack over the inland desert at Tripoli, capital and kingpin of Italian Libya, and at the rear of Rommel's scurrying Axis Army.
