Ml PICTURE SKETCHED OE EGYPTBATTLE (Continued From Page One) perts estimate the number en gaged In the service of supply in the middle east at about 250,000. Churchill's somber portrayal of the war in Africa was re lieved only by his statement that "very considerable" reinforce ments have reached or "are ap proaching" the battlefield. . This major strengthening of the battered British eighth army, athwart the' axis path to the Mile delta, Alexandria and Suez, was the basis of . Churchill s statement that "1 do not .con sider the struggle in any way as decided." . ' He said his conversations with President Roosevelt were con cerned "only with movement of troops, ships and aircraft and measures to be taken to combat tesses at sea and more than re place sunken tonnage." The United States army air force has been in action for some days in the north African strug gle while United States service and supply units have been en gaged on behalf of the allies on other battle lines. Secret "Almost everything arranged was secret," Churchill added of hlti talks with the president, and there was never a more earnest desire between allies to engage the enemy." The war, in Churchill's opin ion, is likely to be a long one and moreover, he said, there Is no reason to suppose that hos tilities will cease "when the final result has oecome obvious, Churchill said the balance of naval power in the Pacific has been "altered in our favor" by the "brilliant victories of the United States navy and airforce" over the Japanese in the Coral sea and at Midway. He said that the fall of To bruk, the last bulwark in Ital ian Libya, which opened the way for eastward invasion of Egypt, had been "utterly unex pected" by the cabinet, the chiefs of staff and General Sir Claude Auchinleck, commander-in-chief of middle eastern forces, 50.000 Lost He said that Britain and her allies, including the dominions the Free French and the Poles, had lost "upwards of 50,000 men" in the last two weeks as the battle of Libya turned into the battle of Egypt. He added to this figure great mass of material" and "large quantities of stores." On the night before the Lib yan bastion, Tobruk, fell to the axis Field Marshal Erwln Rom mel, Churchill said, Auchinleck advised the cabinet that the port and fortress city was adequately garrisoned, with Its defenses in "good order" and with "80 days supplies available for the troops." "We had superiority in num bers of tanks of perhaps seven to five and superiority In artil lery of nearly eight to five," he added. By way of explanation of the debacle, Churchill said that heavy attacks on Malta, Britain's mid-Mediterranean island base as British Fight 'Another Rear Guard Action' Near Matruh aflank the axis supply line to Libya, made it impossible to impede the axis reinforcements and the enemy "got lots of stuff across to Africa." 20 ARRESTED Gil .
