subsequently denied by the
. French Vichy news agency that
: old Marshal Pctain had resigned
as France's chief of state.
H was suggested that Hitler
had good reason to start a war
of nerves to keep the allies psy
chologically on the defensive
while his own armies rallied
from staggering blows on the
winter-frozen steppes of Russia
and on the sands of North Africa.
Pope Pius declared sorrowful
ly that "there Is an unbridled
impulse toward expansion, the
Idea that force creates right."
Envisioning a new era arising
from the ashes of the world
struggle the pontiff declared that
there must be no place in it for
military force to threaten hu
manity, and he proposed a pro
gressive limitation of armaments
i when the struggle is ended.
"True respect for treaties
-must be observed," he declared
solemnly.
l British Advance
On the fighting fronts:
North Africa Britain's desert
armies, "rapidly completing
their occupation of Cirenaica
(eastern Libya,") were officially
reported to have captured two
key axis points as the pursuit
of broken German and Italian
forces continued.
' British middle east headquar
ters said imperial troops had
seized the important axis air
base at Benina, 12 miles east of
Bengasi, and the stronghold of
Barce, 52 miles northeast of Bengasi-
British armored- vanguard's
"appear to have cut off retreat
ing Germans south of Bengasi
from Italian forces remaining in
that port," the communique said.
Great numbers of axis prison
ers were reported falling into
British hands, with the commun
ique declaring that "one small
mobile column alone took 500
prisoners yesterday" and found
17 abandoned tanks.
Premier Mussolini's high com
mand gave a gloomy picture; of
the desert struggle, reporting
that strong British motorized
forces were' constantly attacking
Italian troops between Barce and
Bengasi "with the intention of
hindering" their movements.
Russians Push On
A London military spokesman
Mid the Italians bottled up in the
Bengasi sector could have little
. hope of escape.
"- ' Russian front-soviet dispatches
reported that the red armies.
grinding out the miles in a sus
tained offensive, had recaptured
94 populated places on the
southern Moscow front and that
the Germans had been driven
back at least 50 miles ' in the
Leningrad sector.
The Russians said tattered.
winter-pinched remnants of Col.-
Gen. Heinz Guderian's once
proud German tank army were
now retreating toward Orel, 100
miles southwest of Tula.
A red army bulletin an
nounced the recaDture of Gor.
bachevo, 45 miles west of Tula
and 150 miles south of Moscow.
and reported that soviet van
guards had driven about 20
miles westward beyond the
town.
Reuters, British news agency,
quoted European political sour
ces as affirming that Marshal Pe
tain had resigned as French
chief of state in futile protest
against German insistence on
collaboration concessions.
Reuters added that a Vichy
news agency said authoritative
sources denied the resignation.

Berliners had been accustomed
