forces would weaken the defenses
of Tunis and Bizerte and give
Gen. Kenneth Anderson chance
to break through with ease.
Hence, it appears to most mill
tary observers here that unless
something totally unforeseen
occurs In the next two weeks, the
armies of Won Arniln and Rommel
will be separated by the infiltra-
ton of the American divisions
which are aiming at Sfax-some
10 miles from their present ad-
vanced positions.
When the maneuver Is &C
complished, the Allies can en-
gage the Axis armies in the
north and the south separately.
Because we have a distinct air

supplies and requirements for
losses We are bound to incur,
the situation is described as very
favorable to us.

Rommel is not going to give

a trap to attempt withdrawal
and an embarkation of his
troops from the various ports in

appears inevitable.
The battle for Tunis and

the Allies. is going to be much
harder. however. The Nazis
have been using native labor in
chain gangs under supervision
Of German engineers to build
a net of permanent fortifica-
lions around Tunis and Bizerte
ever since the day our forces
landed in Africa.
They have had four months to
do a relatively simple job, and
the two Tunisian towns lend
themselves geographically to a
good defense.

There are forts, pill boxes and

narrow neck OF country. Behind
these permanent Notifications
there are between 10000 and
100000 men. Thus, the force is
less homogeneous that Rommel's.
since it comprises something like
10000 Italians who have never
distinguished themselves par
ticularly as warriors. But their

cations must not be discounted.
