By DeWltt MacKenzte , (Capital Journal War Attaint) With the German drive on Moscow slowed down hv a determined defense a historic women and even children in uib tut parij aiwiiiion 01 mniiarj'i observers today shifted momentar ily to the Intensification of the nazl attempt to capture the strategic city of Rostov at the entrance to the Caucasus. Tills operation Is of vast Import ance. Hitler must of course cap ture Moscow or suffer a defeat which will have a tremendous moral repercussion throughout the world but It's equally true that he must break through Into the Caucasus if his Russian adventure Isn't to fall or two of Its primary objectives.

If they capture this port and railroad cen ter on the Don river they may well have secured the key to the gate way Into the Caucasus to the south. As a result of this German threat we may find that the new allied front which Is being Insistently de manded by the British public will develop in this region, rather than by an invasion of western Europe. As a matter of fact It might well bo that, If the allied arms prosper, the British may find this their most feasible route for a general land offensive against Germany. That Is, they first will attack the Ger mans from the rear rather than across the English channel. Because It Is Imperative from the allied standpoint to keep the narJs out of the Caucasus, it would be logical for the British to send a large expeditionary force through iran irersiai Into the region be tween the Black sea, and the Cas plan to form a common front with the reds. The British have close to minion men under arms in the middle east and. while their me- chanlzed equipment isn't up to re quirements, they could present i formidable defense.
