Rommel’s Job 1* Tough
One’s first impulse is U» say Rommel
is being made the goat, but that's not
fair. A man who is among the greatest
soldiers of his day is entitled to more
dignified characterization than that.
We would say that poor Mussolini,
whose jaw is bigger than hts head is
the -goat since he ha» played a stupid
role Tor Hitler. But Rommel has been
^signed a fighting man's task and it
will' be interesting to see whether he
takes It in his usual jaunty stride.
In these days of rapid changes one
, is chary of applying any such term
as suicidal to Rommel's task We can
say however the odds are against him
right now and it’s highly improbable
that either he or Hitler believes north-
ern Africa can be held for long.
Rommel’s debacle at El Alamein at
surrendered. The Italian* are younger,
less experienced, more disheartened,
and more unhappy about the whole
thing. The German captive* are made
of sterner stuff, but they, too. in
many cases, are fed up.
One lean. tall, unshaven German
from the Hartz mountains, who has|
been fighting three years, said the
sentiment in Germany is about evenly
divided on the question of continuing
the war.
This soldier came from the Russian
front, like many of the other pria-
oners who apparently were sent to
Tunis to rest from the rigors of the
Russian campaign.
Supplies Moving In
Supplies and equipment were re-
agrwd moving steadily into the south-
Sotomons in preparation for the
x’.'enst'T phase of the campaign.
When the time comes the marines

Rainville- at the northern end of

If you are a wishful thinker who
habitually under-estimates the imme-
diate strength of the axis and over-
estimate the actual combat strength
of the Untied States, some of the news
thia week from Africa, the Pacific and
Russia probably puzzled you.
If you have never lost sight of the
fact that the German and Japanese
enemies still posses* enormous mili-
tary and economic strength the ups
and downs of the war are taken for
granted. You are more impressed by
the assurance that the American and
British forces in north Africa are still
25 days ahead of schedule than by
the fact that the enemy has been able
to land air and seaborne reinforce-
menu in Tunisia.
South Pacific Another Case
The wishful thinker is at a loss to ,
understand why it has taken since
July for combined American and Aus-
tralian forces to dislodge the Japa-
nese from Oona. New Guinea.
The reader who remembers that we 1
are obliged to wage a "holding" war
with inferior forces against the power- I
ful Japanese enemy rejoices that Ja- j
pan has lost a vital position in New-
Guinea.

This is good news if true. For the
present such announcements must be
taken with reserve. Boisson, like
Darlan, has been pro-Oerman and
antl-United Nations in the past and
the loyalty of both has yet to be
proven. The most eminent figure in
the Fighting French eamp. General
Catroux. who outranks both General
Giraud and General DeGaulle tn the
pre-1940 French military hierarchy,
called Darlan and Boisson ’Trojan
horses in the United Nations camp"

"We decided to attack the mess hall.
There were about 14 men in it. Its
sides were open. It was a perfect tar-
get. We kept waiting for more to
come in but they were puttering
around, some washing their facea or
brushing their teeth.
“At last two Jape got up and started

nodded to a corporal with a tommy
gun. There were two Browning auto-
matic rifles in our party and I had
a Garand as did another lad We
sprayed the mess hall, killing eery
one in it and the men nearby.
The camp was so surprised that no
shoU were returned. One or two made
a break for their weapons but were

the wireless shack, but only took three
steps. It was all over in five minutes.
