(Turn to Pace 2, Col. 5)
Such steel land thips were in
action, but their numben had
been far diminished by heavy loss
es on both sides and the course
of the struggle thus chanced; the
British reverted mainly to an
cient practice the rifle, the bay
onet, the blockade and appeared
to be slowly ' cutting their way
forward generally.
In the Russian campaign, mean
while, soviet sources asserted that
the southern red army holding
the Caucasus approaches was
continuing a major counter-of-fendive
which already had driven
the Germans back as much as
60 miles In some sectors above
and to the west of Rostov on the
Don river. .
Russian counter-action on the
northern flank likewise was
claimed to have resulted in the
recapture of part of the town of
Tlkhvin, east of Lennigrad, and
to have regained strategic river
positions near Leningrad itself.
Moreover, the soviet com
mand In Its comunlqae for Wed
nesday morn Ins admitted that
fighting had reached Stallno
gorsk. miles east of the Tola
sector and about 12 miles
southeast of the capital This
represented a deep German
penetration below Moscow to
the east and although It brought
t h e nails no nearer to the
capital Itself It plainly was a
grave setback for the Russians
and apparently represented- an
attempt at distant encirclement.
The soviet government acknow
IcIkH that the Russian armies
had lost r.122,000 men in killed,
wounded or missing since the
start of the invasion, but put
German casualties at (1,000,000.
Moscow put Russian losses in
material at 7,000 tanks, 8,400
p!n 12,900 guns; but against
thin claimed that the nazis had
loxt more than 15.000 tanks, 13,
000 planes and 9,000 guns.
In Libya the battle was settling
down to one principally of en
durance. On his right wing that beat

ean Sir Alan Cunningham was
sending up heavy reinforce
ments of Infantrymen, depend
ing upon his superior commun
ications to break the axis for
ces under the German General
Erwln Rommel.
While Berlin claimed that Rom
mel also was bringing up reserves,
Cairo reported there was no sign
that he was getting new support
of consequence.
The British position thus ap
peared the more favorable. In
rtew of the fleet's command of
the Mediterranean, but the quick
and derinlve victory that had
been so eagerly sought in London
did not seem in sight.
Both sides showed the strong
est disinclination to make sweep
ing claims. The British command
said in effect that there had not
been time as yet to determine who
had been more seriously hurt In
the loss of mechanized equipment.
The German press took the line:
"The Libyan battle Is no picnic."
While Sir Alan's columns of
the right were Inching forward
toward Tobruk both from the
cast and south, his extreme left
till appeared to be sweeping
halted, along a lino far to the I
south, toward the Golf of Slrte
and during the day announced
the capture of the town of Ag
la above the oasis of Glalo.
Thli thrust, which had carried
more than 200 miles from its
starting point about Giarabub
near the Egyptian frontier,
seemed restrained only by the
problems of supply and British
informants said that if those
problems could be adequately
met It would almost certainly
reach the sea and thus cut off
northern Libya and block exit to
the west.
In the west these were the day's
principal developments:
1. The British, answering a
German claim that an attempt by
British patrols to land on the
French channel coast had been
thrown back with heavy losses,
announced that a small .detach
ment In fact had raided the German-held
coast of French Nor
many Sunday night and returned
intact.
This disclosure new activ
ity, presumably by Britain's
commando troops, was coinci
dent with a denunciation of
Britain's war policy makers by
Admiral of the Fleet Sir Roger
' Keyes, a World war hero who
was recently relieved as head

Sir Roger declared that , these

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25--Two
United States military offi
cials Tuesday protested Finnish
army operations as an offensive
threat to the delivery of lend
lease supplies to Russia via Mur
mansk. Reinforcing previous United
States requests to the Finns to
stop fighting Russia, Secretary
of War Stlmson and Major Gen
eral James II. Burns, deputy
lend lease administrator, hinted
broadly that continued coopera
tion by Finland with Russia's
nasi Invaders might produce
some eon nter move by this
country.
Their statements followed Fin
land's signing of a new anti-com-intern
pact with Germany, there
by apparently diminishing if not
ending entirely any chance that
she would fade out of the Russo
German conflict
. Two or three check-moves were
considered possible. One would
be to recall Minister H. F. Arthur
Schoenfeld from Helsinki. '
Another might be to revoke
formally an estimated 115.000,
000 of credits remaining in Fin
land's export-Import bank ac
count out of a total of $30,000,
0000 originally extended. No
thing has been paid out on these
credits since President Roose
velt froze the assets of all Eu
ropean nations last June.
The statements by Stimson and
Burns were issued through the
war department's public relations
office. Brigadier General Alexan
der D. Surles said that requests
had been made to the secretary
for an explanation of the Finnish
military situation.

due to the British navy's raids on
axis supply lines in the Mediter
ranean. The other is the Cairo
report that imperial infantry is
being rushed into the fight south
of Tobruk to settle the issue hand-
to-hand with the foe.
Accept those reports as facts
and there can be bat the end to
the struggle ultimate annihila
tion of axis armies in Libya, for
all the skill and dogged valor of
the German contingents.
British sea power, which the
axis cannot match, bids fair to
be the final and decisive factor
in North Africa, just as it must
be in the Atlantic if HlUerisaa Is
to be destroyed.
It now seems clear that the nazi
tank master, General Rommel,
sought to concentrate virtually all
his desert leviathans to keep the
Tobruk-Rezegh gateway open
westward for his trapped advance
forces in the Tobruk-Salum-Sldi
Omar-Rezegh rectangle.
An Italian-built spur of the
coastal highway strikes westward
about midway of the ten-mile
span between Tobruk and Rezegb,
by-passing British-held Tobruk. It
rejoins the main coastal road some
20 miles west of Tobruk.
That spur road b the single
hard-surfaced route over which
men or supplies could reach axis
forces in the closing trap on re
the British reached Kexegh.
They had already closed the Sa-lum-MeklU
military road II to
2f miles farther Inshore than
the coastal highway.
Surprised by the scope of the
British Libyan offensive, Rommel
apparently was quick to see the
danger of envelopment if imperial
tank forces closed the Rezegh-To-
bruk gap completely. It would bar
him from food, water, ammunition
and, most of all, oil for his tanks
It would also snap shut the only
gate whereby he could escape
westward.
Advices from Cairo Intimate
that nasi counter attacks In the
Rexegh-Tobruk sector constitute
an effort to break out westward
via the Tobruk by-pass spur be
fore it is toe late. British planes
also are reported pounding- re
lentlessly at axis forces and sup
Iy dumps east of B Adem, sup
porting the Inshore portal of
the Rexegh-Tobruk gateway. A
decision in the confused fight
for that gateway can not be long
delayed.
Meanwhile, the cutting edge of

leaders, in telegrams to President

operation of railroads was vital,
but that they should not be taken

brotherhoods and non-operating
unions, advised against govern
ment operation in view of "the
disastrous results from emerg
ency taking of railroad operation
by the government in HI 8."
