This move bolstered hints large-scale

with wonder, because it was unex-

an offensive on the ground. The British
made motions toward an offensive

moved about the Indian Ocean, but
whether the hints of action for retaking
Burma were actual portents of action,
or only part of diversion game, is yet
a question. Generalissimo Chang Kali

of decision lay with the Chinese now

IT. will be interesting II this war OF
civilizations is decided partially at least
on the terrain of the least civilized of all
the continents, Africa. Whether the
Germans, battered in Russia, could sur
vive a major African beating is ques-
ton to which the remaining months OF
autumn and the events OF winter may
provide the answer.
The Axis expects the United Nations
to act in Africa. In preparation for the
worst, Field Marshal Erwin Romnel last
week was made Axis commander Of the
whole Mediterranean, which is far
larger command than his former leader
ship Of the Afrika Korps. In order to
bolster the African French nominally
loyal to Vichy, Admiral Jean Darlan,
chief Of the French armed forces, last
week went on tour Of Africa that took
him as far south as Dakar.
The prelude to major action last week
was series Of day and night air attacks
on Axis airfields in the Egyptian and
Libyan desert. Bolstered by a steady
flow Of Ieinforcements that has been
moving into Africa all summer, Allied
air strength in Egypt Is greater now
than 1t ever has been before. The Luft-
waite has not yet been able to spare
any large-scale reinforcements from Eu-
rope and is waging an almost wholly
defensive battle in Africa. The arrival
of winter in Russia may change that ar
rangement.
The first all-American bombing raid on
Axis points in Africa was made Tuesday
night. Always before they had been ac-
companied by South African squadrons.

Perhaps a major neet engagement will
be needed, however, to finish of the

Allied naval forces around the Solomons
require reinforcing from the main Pa
cific base at Hawaii, the ships must
travel long way and not on straight

path from Hawaii to the Solomons.
Whatever happens in the Solomons,
the engagement in process there repre-
sents something new for the Allies. The
presence Of the Allies in the Solomons
has forced Japan to fight there at q

AS the week slipped by the growing
question everywhere was this: Why has
not the issue of the Solomons been de-
cided? There appear to be number of
reasons. The Japs, who not many
months ago were sure of themselves in
their swift advance, give signs of cau-
tiousness. The operators of the consid-
erable fleet they are reported to have in
the Solomons show signs of wondering
how great is the Allied naval strength
available for the tight and of laying back
in order not to tempt that strength to
action. The Japanese last week landed
new forces on the key island of Guadal-
canal, and Washington revealed for the
first time that our naval forces are
present. The sinking of two American
destroyers, the O'Brien and the Meredith,
was announced. The Allies yet hold the

has announced that Field Marshal Sieg-
mund List, an officer with a reputa-
ton as an expert In making over
water jumps, has been relieved OF
the command Of German forces in the
Balkans. One report was that Hitler
took offense at remarks he had made on
operations in Russia. But there were
suggestions also that the German Army
might be anticipating the need of making
an over-water jump, If second front or
other development made it necessary to
move great forces into Norway, or to
Africa.
The Russian News Agency Tass re-
ported last week that word had reached
Geneva that several German generals
and chiefs of motorized infantry corps
had been removed and that Marshal
Won Book had been placed under arrest.
Col. Gen. Franz Halder, chief Of the
general staf1, recently has felt the lash
of Hitler's tongue. He has been obliged
to assume some of the responsibility for
the derailing Of operations in the east,
and Stockholm dispatch to the London
Express listed him among those relieved,
at least temporarily, of his duties on the
fighting front. One report said he had
been assigned to the less exacting task
of setting up winter line for the army
