Story of 400-Mile .Dash Across Desert: Revealed At London.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign' Editor LONDON, Dec. 18.—An allied headquarters spokesman told today the thrilling story of the British First army’s daring advance through Tunisia 400 miles from its bases, an advance which nearly won a lightning bid for Tunis and Bizerte. Lieut. Gen. Kenneth A. N. Anderson’s army, supported by American tank units, advanced until it had reached a point 20 miles from Ger-man-Italian bases in northern Tunisia, It made its dramatic bid for gui victory under many handicaps and the Germans, rushing reinforcements from Sicily and Italy, were

The allied spokesman said the present allied positions ran roughly north and south through Medjez-El-‘Bab, 30 miles southwest of Tunis, and the allies still held the town itself. He commented that the positions could not be called a line, because there were no lines in that sort of warfare. Incessant Ge r man counter-at-tacks up to Dec. 11 permitted the axis to regain most of the most forward positions the allies had held, the spokesman said, but since

Both the Germans and the allies are patroling, attempting to inflltrate into each others’ positions, he said, but there has been nothing of great importance. ~ Describing how the last small German attacks had been beaten off Dec. 11 by British and American troops with French help, the spokesman said: “By this time it was evident that the Germans had built up sufficient strength to prevent our breaking through to Tunis and Bizerte. The weather also had broken. Movement was most difficult and supplies were rather slowed.” The first axis aircraft arrived in Tunisia Nov. 10, two -days after the allied landings, the spokesman said, and British planes of the
