TODAY’S WAR MOVES (Reg. U. B. Patent Office) Hy Ixtuis F. Keemle Os the United Press War Desk

if the German drive in the Crimea is the start of Hitler’a spring offensive. It tends to support related prediction* by Allied military observers that bls main effort would be towards the Caucasus oil fields. t There seems no doubt, from tin* wording of the German communi | que. thut it Is an attack in force, although perhaps no more than half a dozen divisions are being employed. In a drive for the Caucasus, the Crimea would be but one sector of a front extending from th.- Kerch peninsula about 460 miles northward through the Ukraine to the region of Kharkov, a German strong point. The Dniepropetrovsk region would be in the center. Whether the forward move in the Ukraine has yet started is not certain, but if it has not, it can be expected momentarily. Hitler is believed to have more than l.mm.tttHt of his best troop* gath-red forth" southern offensive, supported by the pl' k of his mechanized forces, heavy comeiitratkms of tanka, and a large fleet of airplanes. Ai'out z.mm.mm to 3,000,(HHt secondary troops, British experts believe, would tie expected to hold the central and northern fronts. The attack on the Kerch peninsula auggiwta a movement to encircle Marshal Timoshenko's positions at Rostov. By crossing th* narrow strait of Kerch Ito the Caucasus, the Germane would lxin the rear of the Russians at Kostov. while other columns smashed ahead from Dniepropetrovsk. Stalino and Tacanrog. By attacking Kerch, th" Germans may be striking at a section of the Russian line where where they have the best chance of success. Pari of the Russian strength is defense in depth, which condition does not exist in the short, narrow pensula it forced back, the Rtlesians would have no place to go but into the strait. On>- thing noticeable about the new German drive Is the '-mpliusiv ’ on air strength. The German com I munlque speaks of German and I Rumania troops "supported by : strong formation* of the air force.” ' Hitler, who has suffered heavily I in the air during the long winter campaign on the lentral and north 1 o’clock at the Adams county memorial hospital to Mr. and Mrs. , iti'lx-i't Brown, route 4 He weighed seven pounds, nine and ou< qaaiU-r OUIK'-S

urn fronts, probably has been holding a great many planes lit reserve for the spring offensive. German factories have been working at top sp- ed all winter turning out planes, and some new type which presumably have b'-eii developed have not yet been seen in action. The loming campaign in Russia may move the supreme test ft Hitler's ability to In,ld his own in the air The iuftw.iffe has been spread rather thin by the lighting in Russia. Britain's offensive in western Europe, and the hostilities in the Mediterranean and Africa. According to British tlgures the RAF is holding more than 6o percent of tin- luftwaffe on the defensive in France. Norway. Germany, Hlcily and Libya The British estimate that from Norway to Egypt tbe luftwaffe has about 3.<hh, first Urie planes engaged against the British, and about 1.600 against the Russians. Aside from their reserves, It seems probable that the Germans may have to weaken their air strength in the west to get the necessary super iority In Russia If they do. It will give the British a golden opportunity to strike hard- < r and do even more damage than they are doing now. O— Allen County Site Os Biq Army Depot Washington. May 12 (UPt Cong G'-orge W.
