War Situation LashNighi

By CARL C. CRANMER Associated Press War Analyst

Berlin radio assertions that large Allied transport and warship con- centrations again are at Gibraltar and moving into the Mediterranean

Nov. 7 when British and American convoys were nearing the beaches of North Africa.

Not only the German broadcasts, but also the general expectancy oi the Soviet Press which has been given its rue by Premier stalln, and the outright prediction of Gen. Henri Giraud, the French commander-in- ohief’ in North Africa, create the definite impression that May is to be one of the climactic months of the war.

lt seems doubtful that the official Russian Press, which remained aloof from the nerve war thoughout 1942 when Washington and London were doing their best to scare the Nazis with the threat of a, second

every confidence that a European invasion indeed is in the offing.

ln the last two days. Berlin radio correspondents have reported con- centration of 85 Allied transports and supply ships, many of them car- rying landing barges, at Gibraltar. Previously, they had reported the de- parture into the Mediterranean of three British battleships and battle cruisers. three aircraft. carriers, four cruisers and eight destroyers, and they added that there was an almost ontinuous flow of Allied aircraft through the Gibraltar airdrome in the direction of thc Mediterranean.

These Germans assertions cannot be relied upon as accurate. The first intimation of the Allied landings in North Africa, however, came from Berlin broadcasts reporting similar large convoys passing Gibraltar t0 the east. Then, as now, the Germans couhl only guess where the blow would fall.

It is interesting however. that Giraud is confident enough of present United Nations strength in North Africa to predict that "this month of May will see the complete defeat of’ the boche In Tunisia."

lle added that 1044 will see the end nf thc 30-year war-which be- gan in 1914—-and the Allied victory. 1n this he agrees with the more cautiously expressed opinion of Prime Minister Churchill who “imagines? that the death knell oi‘ the Axis will be sounded in 1044 although it might not he until 19115,, . _

The news of the last few days suggests that the Germans are engaged in a desperate effort to shift it-inforcemcnts and supplies not only to Tuni=la but to the gem-mi Mediterranean area tn meet thc next move.

These extremi- efforts 0i‘ the Germans may he dlrtotcrl not so much by a resolve to hold Tunisia indefinitely n! It is by an urgent need to hold it temporarily during an aonroochlmr Mediterranean crisis when it wl‘l be desirable to tie down as many Allied troops as possible in North Africa.

Accidents At l East Point Arid Off Annanclale

, Victims Are John R. Gallant, 4.9, l And Winsloe Blackett, 29.

M

Two fishermen lost their lives off the shores of P.E.l. Saturday as the lobster season opened. One, 29-year old Winsloe Blackett of Little Pond near Annzinrlnle and the second, John R- Gallant, 49, lost his life off East Point.

Blackett was alone and it was not known what happened. His body has not been recovered.

Gallant was washed out of the boat by a huge wave. His companion, Frank Gallant was saved. The victim was apparently knocked unconscious or killed, either by a blow from the boat or from the engine house which was washed overboard. He floated for a time, without struggling, but his companion, and two men in another boat were un- able to pick him up. Ho made no effort to grasp lines tossed to him.

Gallant‘s body drifted ashore yesterday about a half-mile from the spot where he was swept overboard.
