NAZI TROOPS IN LIBYA.
REPORTED OVER 100,000 STRONG INFORMATION IN AMERICA. (Rec. 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Mar. 6. Tho “New York Times” states that according to exclusive information received from official American sources, Germany is sending troops in force fo Libya, now totalling over 100,000, including dive-bombers and Panzer divisions, the tanks of which, it is believed, exceed 1000. The movement lias been in progress over a week and there is steadily-growing conjecture whether it means an initial movement for a drive to Egypt and the Suez as part of a pincer movement, the* other side of which would lie a descent from tho Balkans. The manner of transportation to Libya has not yet been ascertained, but it is believed to have been via islands in the Eastern Mediterranean that are free from British interference.
