The five-day-old battle In the sands of Cyrenaica has changed the face of the war and present ed Adolf Hitler with a problem he never had before what to do about an army desperately on the defensive, far from home and facing annihilation. In almost every element It Is the German blitzkrieg In com plete reverse. For the first time the British are more powerful, belter armed, better ' supplied. The battle is of their own choos ing and the battlefield gives them almost unlimited space in which to move their weapons; so swiftly that the damage Is done long before It can be rfcXA'"''? fJ It zr I i'P V? li X Tfl i-lum i if vir f- -'.

VP) Pro bation officers learned today that a New Jersey youth sen tenced here last month to 2V4 years in federal prison for draft evasion was too young to reg ister. Theodore C. Whitehead plead ed guilty before Federal Judge James A. Fee October 14 and was sent to Terminal Island penitentiary. A letter from the prisoner's mother, Mrs. Evelyn J. White head, Palmyra, N. J., was. re ceived today by Perry Price, probation officer's deputy. With it was a birth certificate show ing the youth was only 19 yean of age. Mrs. Whitehead said her son was absent without leave from his National Guard company and probably feared punishment for that more than the sentence for draft evasion. Court officers said today they did not know whether Judge Fee could order Whitehead's release from prison or whether a presi dential pardon would be necessary. templatlng the necessity of abandoning these thousands of German African fighters to military destruction. What this will do to the men tality of the German folks back home, who have been indus triously sold on the idea that German soldiers ' and German weapons are Invincible, be comes, then, a matter of urgent consideration. In the first place It Is imper ative that there be big victories somewhere else hence the vast and reckless new drive in the snows of Russia at the start of the sixth month of the eastern war. The first prize of this drive R o s t o v-o n-D o n was pro claimed to the so-called master race with a great tooting of radio trumpets this morning; it looks now as If Hitler is out at all costs to take Moscow, itself, by Christmas. Furthermore Hitler is trying to pull the French back into the war as an ally; endeavor ing to bring about a state of belligerency between the un tested French armies of north Africa and the British which will keep his enemies occupied below the Mediterranean for a long time and assure the axis ot African coastal bases, no matter what happens to the Ger man panzer forces now trapped in the desert. , General Weygand, who want ed no part of such a deal, has been fired on Hitler's order.
