RUNNING AWAY
AT ALL POSSIBLE SPEED » ROMMEL’S RETREATING ARMY. PROGRESS OF MONTGOMERY’S SPEARHEAD. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) RUGBY, January 21. There were no ground engagements yesterday and hardly any artillery fire, states a correspondent with the Eighth Amy. The enemy increased the speed of his retreat across the rich and fertile Jafara Plains, leaving no other obstacles than mines and booby traps. The spearhead of General Montgomery’s Army has now passed Tarhuna and reached part of the famous automobile circuit south-east of Tripoli, behind the natural hilly defences between the sea and the inland road. Before reaching Homs yesterday morning, British troops had passed through the little town of Garibaldi and the ruins of the Roman town of Liptus.
