The struggle unfolds an ever blesker picture to allied eyes every- where except along the blood-‘ cliched snows of the Nazi-Russian front. Disaster itfier disaster has stalked allied arms from North Africa to the southwest Pacific.

Yet there are some allied mghlightl to relieve the gloomy scene. aside from developments in Russia.

A belated offlclol disclosure of dam- age wrought by the United Stntes Pacific fleet to Jnpsnese Sen out- posts in the Marshall and Gilbert islands shows that operation wu the most serious counter blow yet struck at Japan except in Macossar Strait.

O I t Q

There is one other less sinister facet to the war picture. In Libya the counter attack oi RornmcPs reinforced legions has been halted short of Tobruk.

The latest of the allied ‘disaster; can not yet be assessed. Full significance of the daring Nazi stroke which slipped three powerful and dangerous warships away from Brrst through Britain's watch- mi-tlie-Channel at Dover Strait depends on the use Hitler has planned for them.

Their successful dash for hundreds o! miles along England's own 7161""? manned coast has sent new waves of invasion apprehension over British minds. They must weigh that equation anew,

if a veritable German battlefleet screened by the Nazi sir force can run the channel for 750 miles from Brest to Hellgoland, the 670551"! 0f iis ZZ-mile narrows by a Nazi invading host certainly is not impossible.
