ENEMY IN RETREAT
(Rec. 11 a.m.) RUGBY» January 21. There were no ground engagements yesterday, and hardly any artillery fire, states a correspondent with the Eigntn Army. 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 has 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 Horns yesterday morning, British troops had passed through the littie town of Garibaldi and the ruins of Abe Roman town of Liptus.— 8.0. W.
