Rommel Again Runs Good news for the united na tions came also from the north African front, where British headquarters reported that van guards of (ifn. Montgomery's eighth army attacked axis motoi i zed forces west of Wadi Bei El Chebir and drove them into re treat. The wadi, or gully, lies about 180 miles east of Tripoli.
