ISTANBUL, Turkey. Nov. 14 —An
Informed naval source close to Axis
diplomatic quartern said today that
Italian troops, outfitted for tropical
warfare in North Africa, were be-
ing re-routed for the Russian front.
IHsorganiaatlon arising from thia
waa said to be partly responsible for
recent British naval aucceeaea
against Axis convoys. The British
have announced that- two convoys
were destroyed in one stroke by a na-
val patrol on Sunday and that two
days later six Axis ships were sunk
by submarines.
Cruisers assigned to meet the
convoys at regular rendezvous points
have missed the ships. It was said,
leaving them feebly protected. Two
crullers were present, however, for
the Sunday -battle off Tartinto.
