His future course must depend on circumstances.

War Situation Last Night

(By KIRK! L. SIMPSON, Associated Prell War Analyst)

While Britain's badly mauled 8th army and its reinforcements rally in Egypt for a "last-ditch" defence of Alexandria. n London puts it, Nazi legions in the Ukraine have bored on ominous hole in the Russian communication system east-southwest of Kharkov.

Nazi capture of Kupyansk, important rail junction 60 miles east and a little south of Kharkov, is admitted by the Soviet high command.

The thrust given n clue to the strategy of the German attack, even though it may be only n preliminary operation rather than the beginn- ing of an all-out. offensive in Russia

Triple rail systems coming down from the north merge into n. single line at that point to link up with the lower Donets Basin rail network, The lino lay-passes on the wcst a huge sweep of virtual badlandl in which no railroad of consequence or major highway is shown on recent Russian maps.

The next north-south railroad lice east of that wide stretch v rough country which ls nearly 200 miles long and averages perhaps ‘l5 miles widie. Loss of Kupyansk has cut the western route, forcing the Russian _ ‘ to depend on the railroad east of the rough country for effective communications contact between the northern wing of his armies about Kharkov and the south elements reaching to the Sea of Azov.

O O O O C O

Just how wide n wedge the Nazis have driven in the Kupyansk area is not indicated. Moscow insists there has \een no break-through. that the Russian front is still secure. It seems obvious. however, that the German drive at Kupyansk was aimed at cutting Russian forces apart southeast of Kharkov in preparation for a. rolling-up operation southward aimed ultimately at rounding the Rostov corner Into the Caucasus.

The Berlin radio's assertion that the Nazis have captured Izyum, 40 miles southwest of Kupyausk, is an indication that such a movement already is developing.

Big Land Battle For Egypt May Be

Underway Now;

Naval Cans

(By Larry Allen, Associated Press Staff Writer)

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, June 26—(AP)— Speedy Arn- erican-built motor torpedo boats have arrived to augment the British Alediterraiiean fleet which might soon play a decisive role in the battle against the Axis advance toward

this British naval base.

The fleet is standing by ready to step in at a moment’! notice to turn its tremendous gun power against the Ger-

man and Italian legions.

The Axis forces thus far have pushed their advance well south of the coastal road, out of range of the naval
