if the German north and Souta

Should this not be accomplished
within about three weeks, when

prospects will be much brighter.
The two alternatives are the fall

military, unless Germany finds
means to avert it quickly.
Duplication
Capture of tens Of thousands OF
Italians at Bardia duplicates what
happened at Sidi Barrani. 1t fol-
lows the utter failure of the Ital-
ian army sent to invade Greece
and now desperately struggling to
escape an even greater catastro-
phe in Albania.
The British are already invest
ing Tobrlk, 80 miles deeper into
Italian Iibya than Bardia. 1t is
doubtful that the Italian command
err, Marshal GRAHAM, has much
more than half his original numer-
ical strength of $50, 900 electives
available. He has lost 80, 600 or
more men. killed, wounded or cap
tured, and irreplacable fighting
equipment and stores. The morale
Of his beaten army must be low.
Its prime shock units have been
destroyed or captured.
The Italian threat in Africa to
British control of the Suez canal
and the Eastern Mediterranean
has been eliminated. It would take
incredible Nazi victories in a Bal
Kan march eastward to renew it.
Even a German thrust through
Bulgaria to aid Italy in Albania
would face the same winter wea-
ther difficulties that have slowed
the Greeks efforts to complete the
destruction of their fascist f o e S
there.
Nor can German commanders
fail to consider the probable ef-
feet of new Italian defeats in Lib
va on Italian army morale in Al
bania and in East Africa, where
British naval and air forces are
beginning to take the initiative.
Word of what has happened in
Egypt and Libya is certain to sift
through Italian ranks.
Russia Impressed
There are ample indications that
Russia has been powerfully i'm
pressed by British and Greek Sue
cesses. Moscow appears taking a
strong tone in connection with the
massing of Nazi troops in Rumania
and their menace to Bulgarian
neutrality. Turkey is clearly prim-
ing for action if Germany makes
a move that threatens Turkish in
terests.
The reported movement of Ger
man air or other forces into Italy
via Bremen Pass indicates h e
critical nature of the Balkan situa-
ton in Berlin's eyes. If those
forces went to the aid of Italy by
any other route the result might
be a Balkan war-a thing Germany
has thus far exerted every effort
to avoid because it would expose
her vital Rumanian storehouse to
attack.

tributed materially to the Bardia vic

Observers with the British forces
said the number of Italians sur
rendering at Bardia constituted an
ope. invitation to the British to
strike on against Bengasi.
The Egyptian press viewed the
Bardia victory as removing all dan
ger to Egypt from Italy and said
Bardia, with its useful harbor, has
