The British Elghth Army is offi- cially declared to be making pro- gress in penetrating the formidable Mareth line fortifications in the rap- id unfolding of an offensive south and west to smash the Rommel drive in Tunisia, striking in unison under a widespread canopy of planes which have ‘already blasted forts and gun emplacements and also airfields. American and British are driving to destroy the head of the Axis in * Southern Tunisia and have possibly forced Rommel to begin withdrawal of his German divisions. A swift attack on.the Italians forced them to flee in such haste that they left prepared meals of meat balls and spaghetti behind. The Americans paved the way for “a quick thrust across the® Tunisian bottleneck by Sened sta- tion yesterday while the long pre- pared offensive of Montgomery was prung against the Mareth Line on Saturday. In the north however, the British First Army has been driven from the station at Nefsa, 47 miles south- west of Bizerte and only two miles rom the vital Allled position at Djebel Aboid, by intensified opera- tions of Gen. von Arnum.
