The War
Today
War in Period
of Suspense
On 3 Fronts
BY LOUIS r. kEEMLE
os m. United Pre-. War Desk

THE WAR has entered a
period Of acute suspense. with
vital issues in the balance on
three active fronts slmulane-
ously.
The outcome OF the struggle
on any one of the fronts
southern Russia. Egypt and
the Solomon Islands--ls bound
TO have An important bearing
on the course of the war in
1913. which may well prove
TO be the decisive year.
II is almost impossible 20
appraise the trend Of the
battle on any front from the
scanty military information
which is being released. AT
this writing, however, II APP
pears that the struggle in
Russia and in North Africa
are likely TO be drawn out,
with no indication Of the out
come for some time yet.
THE BATTLE Of the Solo
mons also may be a long one,
unless the Americans are
overwhelmed on Guadalcanal
or there is a jor engage
ment of the two fleets in
which one side or the other
wins clear naval supremacy
In those waters.
In the absence of any
analysis of the military sit
uation, the position on the
three fronts shapes up some
what as follows
In Russia. the battle for
Stalingrad has become more
and more a part of the battle
for the Caucasus oil fields.
Hitler has wasted a prodigious
amount of men and materials
in his so far futile effort TO
take the city. He is now re-
ported to have ordered il
taken at any cost as a matter
OF prestige. but there is more
to it than that.
IF THE Germans take
Stalingrad. they can try TO
hold 1t as protection of the
left flank of the Caucasus
line against Marshal Semyon
Timoshenko's forces north of
the city. while the drive for
Grozny is intensified. II is
probable that Hitler's need for
the Caucasus oil TO carry on
next year is vital.
In Egypt, the British are
making a little progress, but
slowly, something like the
street-by-street progress of
the Germans at Stalingrad.
Marshal Erwin Rommel is in
a strong position. concen-
trated in the narrow AL Amein
gap with strong defenses in
depth many miles to the west.
Only if the British break
completely through and can
fan out in the desert beyond.
can any rapid progress be ex-
pected toward driving the
Axis out of Egypt. This
initial phase of the battle NAV
take many weeks.
IN THE Solomons. guarded
statements from Washington
indicate that the situation is
nip and tuck.
III the Japs can throw the
Americans out, the danger 70
sea communication with New
Zealand and Australia will be
great. 1t was to forestall
this danger that the navy
took the risk of occupying the
airfield on Guadaleanal. From
the meager news available. u
appears that the japanese
greatly outnumber the Ameri-
cans.
Should the japanese fail.
