UNSUCCESSFUL STAND
But they indicated the Fascist
stand was no more successful than
the attempted Italian resistance
nearly a year ago when Gen. Sir
Archibald Wavell, then British
middle eastern commander sent
his forces crashing through their
lines.
As result of the latest ad-
vances. it was believed that a
major fight to lift the siege OF
Tobruk was only a matter OF
hours.
Over roads and camel trails
leading westward from the front
stretching between the Jarabuh
Oasis to the coast German and
Italian mechanical columns were
moving back to dodge
the sweeping British encirclement,
British strategy appeared to be
creation of two great circular
traps designed TO catch the Axis
forces in the hump of Cyrenaica. "
One such encirclement force

man British army-already is loop
ing around the mountains of

Tobruk from the south.
This rapidly advancing coIunrri
was reported threatening 10 cut
off the retreat of two crack Ger
man panZer divisions, the back
bone of Gen. Erwin Rommel's S
Axis armies.
Another British column was
shooting straight toward much
bombed Bengazi in a bold maneu-
yer aimed at cutting off the entire
northern section of Cyrenaica.
Meanwhile, hundreds of planes
from American factories pasted
every Axis air base in Libya as
far west as Tripoli.
