Hints from Cairo that the crucial

most to a standstill would be bleak
tidings for the British except for two
circumstances.
One is the scarcity of German and
Italian reinforcements due to the
British Navy's raids on Axis supply
lines in the Mediterranean. The other
is the Cairo report that Imperial in-

Medieval Writings' To Be
Topic Of Discussion
Prof. Chalfant Robinson, curator
of Medieval manuscripts at Prince-
ton University, will deliver a Uni-
versity Lecture under the sponsorship
of the history department on "Me-
dieval Manuscripts" at 4:15 p.m. to-
morrow in the Auditorium of the ,W.
K. Kellogg Foundation Institute.
Professor Robinson will also de-
liver a lecture' for junior and senior
medical students at 1:30 p.m. Friday
in the main Hosplital Amphitheatre
on "The Case of Louis XI-A Study
in Historical Pathology."
Author of numerous works in the
field of Medieval history, Professor
Robinson occupied chairs of history
at Mount Holyoke College, Smith Col-
lege and Yale University before go-j
ing to Princeton in 1920.
He has done much work on Me-
dieval English manuscripts, and has
edited the Great Roll of the Pipe and
the Memoranda Roll of the King's

gle-ultimate annihilation of Axis
armies.
British sea power, which the Axis
cannot match, bids fair to be the
final and decisivefactor in North
Africa just as it must be in the At-
lantic if Hitlerism is to be destroyed.
It now seems clear that the Nazi
tank master. General Rommel, sought
to concentrate virtually all his desert
leviathans to keep the Tobruk-Rezegh
gateway open westward for his trap-
ped advance forces in the Tobruk-
Salum-Sidi Omar-Rezegh rectangle
An Italian-built spur of the coasta
highway strikes westward about mid
way of the ten-mile span between To-
bruk and Rezegh, by-passing British-
held Tobruk. It rejoins the mair
coastal road some 20 miles west o
Tobruk.
That spur road is the single hard-
surfaced route over, which men o:
supplies ould reach Axis forces b
the closing trap once the Britis
reached Rezegh. They had alread;
closed the Salum-Mekihimilitary roac
ten to 20 miles farther inshore i~n th
coastal highway.
Surprised by the scope of the Brit-
ish Libyan offensive, Rommel appar-
ently was quick to see the danger o:
envelopment if Imperial tank force
losed the Rezegh-Tobruk gap com-
pletely. It would bar him from food
water, ammunitionand, most of all,
oil for his tanks. It would also snap
shut the only gate whereby he could
escape westward.
