ADVANCES (Concluded From Page One) and farther east toward Egypt.) A Middle East headquarters communique said merely that Imperial forces had been withdrawn from their positions at El Adem, 13 miles due south of Tobruk, and Sidi Rezegh, 20 miles southeast.

South and west of Tobruk, it said, British mobile forces were continuing to harass the enemy. (The German high command said 500 British troops had been captured during German occupation of El Adem. The Italians reported that the British were withdrawing in the direction of the Egyptian frontier.) By withdrawing from Sidi Re7h. the British apparently sought to prevent Kommel from dashing around the Imperial left flank for a blow at Tobruk from the rear. Rommel had been concentrating on the left, or eastern side of the British defenses, threating to strike due north to the sea and isolate To bruk from supplies by land.

The British outlook steadily was growing gloomier, and it was admitted the situation was as grave as during Rommel's offensive in May, 1941, when the Imperials were forced back beyond the Egyptian frontier. Although the Royal Air Force has been maintaining air superiority tne ntisn retirement was attri buted to a deficiency of artillery necessary to support Imperial tanks in the lace of heavy fire from Oer man 88 mUIlmeter cannon.
