Naturally, we do not know the full ex- planation of this fact. li would be foolish tor responsible officials to stop to explain why the aerial bombardment of Germany d other points, is not on a more sustained slownes thou operations are ona Nevertheless, there.is reason to belléVe’ that the aerial attacks upon Germany, and German-held areas, -have inflicted hvav¥ blows to the Nazi economic system. There is no prospect that, as the weath- er improves over western Europe, aerial at- tacks will be stepped up and that they will ate greater havoc than ever. In this connection, we should remem- ber that the aircraft of the United States are operating on front attered all over the world. It astonishing to read t communiques and spot ihe far-flung pbje tives of our air force in a day’s operations. is and wite DON’T EXAGGERATE While The Citizen makes no pretense of knowing much about military strategy or tactics, it does know a little about pugilism. It knows, for instance, that, however ca- pable your ring favorite may be, he is not going to do all the socking. Once in a while his opponent will put over a hefty punch. So it is in war. While we would be hap- py to see the Allies win every battle, we have been warned repeatedly by our lead: ets that there will be many setbacks and 85:), heayy lasses. But when those setbacks come there is one thing we should guard against: their exaggeration, Secretary of War Stimson stressed that point in commenting on the bat- ; tle that the Americans lost in central Tuni- sia. Neither minimize nor exaggerate, the secretary said. It is human nature to exaggerate whe hear unfavorable news. That fact was proved by the comments heaid in Key West — similar comments were made in every other American city — about the cen- tral Tunisia battle. Judging by the way some Key Westers spoke, they thought that the fight for Tunisia had been irretrievably lost. But in pushing back the Americans 55 miles in central Tunisia, Marshal Erwin Rommel has put himself into a pocket, with his left flank exposed to the British Eighth Army in the south, and his right flank to the British First Army in the north. Rommel acutely aware of his pre- carious position and the likelihood is his men | are now furiously digging in along both flanks. ‘ Counterparts of Rommel’s position have been plentiful in the fighting in Russia. The | more deep wedges the Germans drove into the Russian lines the more the Germans ex- posed themselves to counter-attacks. Time and again, since the Russians began their winter offensive, concerted attacks were | made on the flanks of those wedges as soon as frontal attacks were launched. What have been the results? Axis | forces in those wedges have been encircled repeatedly, resulting in their capture or | annihilation. | The same thing is likely to happen to Rommel’s forces in central Tunisia, though | Rommel, aptly characterized as the “fox,” | probably will withdraw from the pocket as soon as the pounding of his flanks gets well under way. Rommel is an adept at advancing rap- idly, as he proved when he drove the Brit- | ish back to E] Alemein, but he is an adept, too, in running away, as he proved in his 1,- 300-mile flight from El] Alemein to the east- ern Tunisian border. However that may be, keep chins up when we hear about setbacks, and, above all, don’t exaggerate. we JAPS NO SUPER-FIGHTERS The situation on Guadalcanal, accord- | ing to Lieut. Col. Lewis B, Fuller, who was there from Sept. 18th until he departed by | plane June Ist, is that the Japs have lost 8,000 killed and 3,000 from wounds, starva- “tion, etc., out of the estimated well-equip- ped and highly-trained soldiers once on the | island. The Marine ofifcer says that the im- pression that the Japanese landed ‘a large number of soldiers.on the island in their counter-invasion effort of Noy, 18-15 is er- involved about 1,500 men early in Novem- | | ber but that this force was killed or dispers ed soon after it attempted to open a new | front. Henderson Field has been enlarged to accommodate all types of aircraft. Aside from possible renewed attempts of invasion of the situation on the island. He say. Japanese bombings were usually plane aff. that anti-aircraft could not reach them and dropping their bombs far wide of the mark. From New Guinea also comes news of the elimination of the last three pockets of resistance, in the Sanananda sector, oneé held by a Japanese army that totaled 15,006 men, It was only last September when the Japanese were threatening Port Moresby; after crossing the Owen Stanley Mountains, The fighting on these islands do not in- | dicate that the Japanese are super-fighters or that the Japanese navy and air force have easy control of the South Pacific. In fact, the résults indicate the exact opposite. Not only have our soldiers and Marines, togeth- er with the Atstralians in New Guinea, whipped the Japanese but the empire has s that gle- and doomed contingents, | roneous and that the last important landing | by sea Col.
