Initial British reaction to the Nazi cross-channel bombardment with robot flying bombs suggests that this particular German "secret weapon is apt to have not much more effect on the course of the war in Europe than the stirrer-gun firing on Paris in the First Great War had on that struggle, which was none at all.

The robot bombs so far as yet disclosed seem even less controllable although it is too curly yet to ills-miss them as a Nazi war novelty or rc- gurd them as 11151 another development of German war of nerves techi-

q c In any event, there is warrant for concluding that the Allied selected invasion area in Normandy where American forces on the right flank nearly r-siablished a cut-off linc ucrose thr- Chcrbourg Peninsula tip to trap its enemy garrison, cilllglig the Germans by surprise. The set-up for the robot flying bombs was made elsewhere. presumably 1n the Pns De Calais natural bridgehead fur a continental invasion.

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS. ALLIED EXPEDI- TIONARY FORCE, June l6 — (AP)—Arnerican troops cut the last German rail escape route out of Cherbourg io- day with the capture of strategic St. Sauveur Le Vicosnie, and also retook ruined Montebourg, only 14 miles south- east of the prize port, after a furious four-day battle.

American seizure of St. Sauveur, 18 miles south of Cherbourg, was confirmed officially at midnight by army officials in France. It all but cut in two ihe.Axis forces on the peninsula because United States artillery now is within range of the west coast highway six miles beyond Si. Sauveur. That highway is the last Axis link between the French interior and thousands of imperiiled German troops in the Cherbourg area.

TANK BATTLE RAGING

In the centre of the blazing 100-miie Normandy front. headquarters said tonight, British armor was engaged in heavy fighting with German tanks south of the village of Caurnont, 14 miles south of Bayeux. Eaatward from Cau- mont, in tire British-Canadian sector, tank battles con- ‘tinned. The fighting in this area was fiercest around Tilly Sur Seulles, 11 miles west of German-held Caen.

Adverse weather once more crippled Allied air activity.

An “uncanny quiet” along the Canadian front today was reported in s. dispatch from Ross Munro, Canadian Prose war correspondent with the Canadians in the Caen sector. He reported Canadian infantry and tanks resting preparatory to their next move.
