(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) LONDON, November 15. Admiral Labcrde, commander of the Toulon naval squadron has taken an oath of allegiance to Marshal Petain, says the Vichy radio. Naval crews at Toulon are confined to their ships. 1 Reuter's correspondent says naval circles at Allied headquarters still believe that the French Fleet will come to the Allies, not because of any liking for them, but because of their dislike of the Axis. The French are proud oi their fleet and the last thing they aie expected to do is to scuttle it.
