the continuing guerilla war in the Balkans are known to have boosted these casualties substantially. On the west the British-American army under Lieut. Gen. Kenneth A. N. Anderson was entering Tunisia in force behind United States and British parachute troops who had seized numerous points of strategic value and at least one important airdrome. British and American heavy bombing plan including flying fortresses, blasted axis concentration points. In the east forward elements of the British 8th army under Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery had byBenghazi, the great axis mid-Libyan base and, in contact with the axis rear guard, were believed to be pressing on El Agheila, only 475 miles from Tunisia. - An all-French army was reported advancing northward along the 1300-mile caravan trail from the Lake Chad region of West Africa to complete the envelopment of the
axis ‘forces. Stockholm dispatches reported that in all 300,000 (allied troops were now driving on the axis forces in western Libya and Tunisia. Radio Morocco said that Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, German navy commander in chief, had arrived in southern Italy to make
18 desperate attempt to get the
Italian navy in action to help move reinforcements to the African front. German controlled Radio Paris reported that some new axis forces had arrived in Tunis “to halt the Anglo-American advnace.” It reported at the same time that allled naval forces had left the ports of Bone, Bougie and Philippeville on the Algerian coast.
Paratroops Take Base
British reports said the western allied army, aided by British and American paratroops, had taken two new airdromes inside Tunisia. Allied and axis air forces fought a dramatic battle for supremacy injof the sky as the Germans sought des-
perately to hold off the smashing
attacks of United States flying for-
tresses and British heavy bombers
and the allied fighter planes ranged the coast to intercept German transport planes taking reinforcements to Tunis and Bizerte. Gen. Anderson’s western army was driving axis scout formations before it as it advanced steadily into Tunisia. It was being constantly reinforced by eager, well-trained French and African native troops clamoring for the chance to meet the Germans and Italians in a battle to the death. Behind Anderson’s army, ships,
a — planes which attempted
weapons, munitions and supplies eastward in a mass which seemed to make the crushing of axis resistance only a matter of time. . It was indicated that the Germans and Italians, believed now to be under the personal command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, would make a desperate last stand in the 400-mile coastal corridor between Tripoli, in western Libya, and the
Tunis-Bizerte region of northeast-
But Gen. "Anderson, while he advanced along the coast, was believed also to be pushing powerful forces of his British, United States and French: troops through the interior of Tunisia to trap the Germans in the Tunis-Biberte area and push direct toward Tripoli. The aid being given Anderson by French forces assumed increasing importance. Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, commanding the French army in Africa, was personally leading his men at the Tunisian front.
French Fight Stubbornly
French garrisons in that part of Tunisia invaded by the Germans were fighting a stubborn withdrawal action, falling back slowly to meet Anderson’s advance columns, and along the coast French combat
parties were driving off German
to land men at small ports. . It was estimated that Giraud is now commanding at least 30,000 French troops, including thousands of the foreign legion. But French authorities yesterday called up the military class of 1939, men who had received their compulsory training in that year. These figures are exclusive of the Fighting French force advancing from Lake Chad, High honor was paid the French troops streaming toward the front. As those at Oran left for the fighting area, United States army forces escorted them to the train, bands playing the Marseillaise and other French martial musle. Release Spanish Veteravs
It was reported that the allies were releasing 900 veterans of the International Brigade which fought for the Republicans in the Spanish civil war and who had beén ine terned by Vichy authorities in Africa. It was expected that these men and many more, held at other camps, would join the allied forces. The great Boeing B-17 flying fortresses and the heavy bombers of the royal air force were reported receiving valuable aid from parachutists ' holding positions in advance of Anderson’s army and from French troops in the German-held zone who signaled targets to them.

HOW EISENHOWER
LONDON, Nov. 19 (U. P.)—Lieut. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower led self-termed “insiders” and possibly the German high command, to believe the allies would attack Nor7 way by buying Arctic equipment two weeks before the North Afri2| can offensive started, it was disclosed today. Eisenhower sent one of his aides to West End stores for heavy equipment and Arctic outfits were issued to several British and American units in Britain. London rumor markets buzzed immediately with the “tip” that an invasion of Norway was imminent. German agents probably accepted the “tip” also, because about that time, the high command began frantic efforts to build up Norweglan fortifications and defenses. ° The tip that Norway was the objective was circulated in such “wellinformed circles” that many war correspondents bought winter cloth2ling and at least one carried with him to Africa an “easy guide to 2 | the Norwegian language.” The Invasion troops discarded their Arctic gear a few hours before they left for Africa, it was disclosed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (U.P). % —Any grease left over from wellcooked Thanksgiving turkeys probably will be utilized in “passing the gravy” rather than in “passing the ammunition.” The home economics division of
the agriculture department today ‘nipped in the bud a vast war production board plan to get thousands of pounds of grease for the manufacture of ammunition from Tranksgiving turkeys. The home economics experts, in effect, told Lessing J. Rosenwald, chief of the WPB conservation di‘vision, that he knew nothing about cooking a turkey. He appealec to housewives yesterday “fo help put the skids under the axis” by saving the grease from their Thanksgiving turkeys for manufacture of ammunition, : An agricultural department home economics expert replied that anyone who had ever come close to- cooking a turkey knows that there is no waste fat when it is properly cooked. “What little fat is left over from a slowly-cooked turkey goes into gravy,” a -home economics spokes man said.
