BRITISH 9th ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, July 6.-The battle for
Egypt seems to be swinging in favor
Of the British at least momentarily
and what three days ago was a
touch -and-go situation appears now
much less tricky. Thanks above all
to the Allied air forces, the New
Zealanders- and the South Africans,
the die Of battle has turned.
Not only has the enemy been
stopped, but there are signs that the
Axis forces feel themselves not
strong enough and too battered from
the air to maintain their present
positions in the FL Alamein area.
They may stay put, nonetheless, If
they expect reinforcements, but 1t
seems to be the British imperial
forces which lately are doing most
Of the attacking.
On Saturday night the New Zea-
landers made a moonlight bayonet
attack on the enemy's rear, killing
many Italians and spreading moon
light panic while they themselves
suffered only two casualties. The
New Zealanders made forced
march in the dark and when they
reached attack positions lay down
and waited until the moon came
up at 2 am. The moon revealed the
bivouacs of the silent camp which
turned out to be Italian.
Launched Bayonet Attack.
The New Zealanders launched
a bayonet attack and the Italians
never had a chance to know just
what hit them-as the New Zea-
landers' low casualty figure indi-
Gates. Probably the attack has
made worse the italian morale
which repeatedly is very brittle
owing largely to the Allies terrific
air attacks.
On Thursday the New Zealanders
had taken 370 Italian prisoners with
80 guns and 80 vehicles on the edge
Of the Qattera depression. The
prisoners said they were on ration
Of about pint of water a day
compared with a quart for the
Germans.
From the exhausted state of the
prisoners when taken 1t appears that
the speed Of the enemy advance
from the Egyptian frontier was such
that the normal exuberance anc
thrill of the advance never had 9
chance to come to the surface. The
pace was so terrific the men were

" tNTED-SCRAp METAL
ANB RUBBER

The War Board Of Morgan County
is urging farmers again to check
for scrap metal and rubber which
can be redirected into the war
effort
AT meeting of the County War
Board new plan was adopted as
an aid toward getting this scrap
for war productions A WPA project
is being started for the purpose Of
collecting such scrap as each farm
IN the county may have.
Scrap metals and rubber are
urgently needed now to keep war
production at top capacity, accord
ing to War Production Board au-
thoritites. They have further re-
vealed that the present acute short
age of metal scrap has caused the
shutting down Of a number of steel
mills. The recent Scrap Rubber
Drive has been partly relieved by
the good collection of old rubber in
this county, but county residents
are urged again to keep hunting
for old rubber and have it ready for
collection
WPA representatives will contact
farmers within the next few days
This will be a farm to farm canvas
of the entire county to learn the
location of the scrap metal and a
rough estimate of the amount on
each farm. After this canvas is
completed, in each section a collect
ion crew with truck will be sent a.
long a designated route to gather
the scrap and each truck will carry a
sign reading "WPA SCRAP COL
LECTION PROJECT" and will
carry scales to weigh the metal or
rubber collected from each farm.
The scrap may be either sold or
donated to the Government for use
in the War and in either case the
Collection Crew will give the farm
er a receipt at the time of the trans
action showing the full weight of
the scrap and later the farmer will
receive Government check for the
amount of the sale. Farmers can
assist in this drive by having their
scrap metal at location near the
road
Farmers are asked not to include
