London—^The fall of Tobruk was
officially confirmed by the British
early today, a setback which im
perils Allied plans for a second
front and leaves Egypt and Suez
seriously threatened by axis for
ces.
The enemy has pushed on to
capture Bardia, eight miles from
the Egyptian border, and the Lib
yan outpost of Bir El Gobi, ac
cording to German and Italian
claims.
Official confirmation of axis j
claims that 25,000 British .prison- i
ers were captured at Tobruk was
not forthcoming immediately but
it seemed plausible here. Loss of
the Libyan port, which last year
withstood eight months of seige,
was thought to be a blow of se
rious proportions. Bardia and Bir
El Gobi-were undefended.
