at Alexandria. Axis reports claimed the British fleet had already departed through the Suez canal. “The battle is not over ye} and ft will not be over until we have defeated the enemy and defeat him we will,” Gen. Ajchinleck’s order said. ; x * “The situation now calls for a supreme effort on the part of all of us.

“Officers and men of the eighth :

army, you have fought hard and continuously for over a month, No troops could have fought better.

“In spite of your efforts, you ex-| f

perience disappointment, giving ground before an enemy who has superiority in armored troops.

“Give Enemy No Rest”

“It must not be forgotten that he, too, had serious losses. His units much more were reduced in strength and he is a long way from his bases of supply. ’ “The enemy must be given no rest. must be attacked and harried wherever you find him.” On the Russian front, the axis launched heavy attacks on the central front, about 112 miles west of Moscow in the Gzhatsk sector, but were repulsed by counter-blows that killed an estimated 2500. On the Kursk front the Germans made slight gains, but a dispatch . to the Moscow newspaper Izvestia said Russian resistance was growing stronger.

Axis Strategy Revealed

At Sevastopol, the Germans made new gains and claimed they had broken into the inner defenses, while Rumanian forces captured the historic harbor and town of Balaklava, south -of the Crimean naval base. The axis strategy obviously was ‘designed to pick the three most vulnerable spots in the united nations world front in the hope of seizing such vital bases as Alexandria, Vladivostok and the Caucasus oil fields, and breaking up the main allied supply lines. * A British military commentator said that Japan would attack Russia at its “own chosen moment,” and there was widespread belief here that the moment would come this summer after the Japanese staff had time to guage Hitler's Russian prospects. . Loss of Alexandria would give the enemy virtual control of the eastern Mediaterranean. :

New Zealanders’ Bayonet +

Charge Puts

By RICHARD D. McMILLAN (Copyright, 1942, by United Press)

WITH' THE NEW ZEALAND ARMY CORPS IN EGYPT, June 30 — (Delayed) —Field Marshal Erwin Rommel has made one mistake 1n this battle for the Nile. His 90th light division sent in its infantry, on foot, against the British line. : Newly arrived New Zealand troops met them in the moonlight and went in with the bayonet. The Nazis, when they saw the flashing steel and behind it the big New Zealanders and the Maoris who are as big and tough as the Anzacs-of European stock, turned and ran,

Machine Gunners Flee

The infantry ran first when the bayonets reached them, and even the machine gunners followed— those still left alive. This battle was a picture more like that of the days in the 1800s when Gen. Chinese Gordon fought the Mahdis in the Sudan than of today when tanks race throlgh the desert. ,

It happened on the escarpment 20] -

miles south of Matruh. The New Zealanders were ordered to fix bayonets and clear a path through the mine fields for nine columns of artillery, troops in trucks, and supply trucks, withdrawing eastward. “All day Saturday we had an artillery duel with the enemy filtering eastward,” a New Zealand colonel said. “On our left the British’ tanks cracked steadily at the German tanks. %

famous Crimean town of Balaklava.) The Russians said they were killing axis troops by the thousands but the incessant attack indicated that the German armies had opened their all out drive for the Caucasus through the Ukraine district. * (The German communique indicated the full axis summer drive had started and claimed that some of the inner defenses of Sevastopol had been reached.) Russian and axis forces were locked in a big ‘tank battle on the Kursk front where it was estimated more than 150 German tanks already had been destroyed, some of them when they were cut off from supporting infantry. The Kursk drive started four days ago. Red Star, the army newspaper, said the axis had made slight gains in the main sector and now

Nazis to Flight

“German tanks came to us, too, but our 25-pounder guns held them and knocked out a few. Their tanks sculled around in front of us most of the day. “Then a brigade of the 90th German light division had the bright idea of sending in its infantry on foot.” The New Zealanders went out to meet them and it was estimated they killed 500 of the enemy. “It showed us once again that when you fight a Nazi fairly and on equal terms he has no guts,” a New Zealand , officer said. “He squeals and runs, “Jerry does not like fighting at night time. And he definitely. does not like bayonet work. “About 1 a. m. we lined up the troops with their bayonets ready. We could see the enemy tanks moving around to cut us off, vague shadows in the misty moonlight. “Our troops set .off- in trucks toward the enemy lines. The German infantry began to dig themselves in. : :

Don’t Like Bayonets

“A short distance from the enemy, the New Zealanders jumped out of their trucks and charged. The Nazi machine-gunners were in position and put up a strong blast of fire, and the enemy tommy gunners blazed away, at first. “But as soon as the bayonets got to work they gave up. “Our Maoris love this kind of fighting. When they go in with the bayonet they give a war cry that would shiver your lights.

As soon: as Lyttleton closed in the commons debate, - Clement Davies, liberal, moved that the house proceed immediately to th impeachment of the persons responsible in view of “Capt. Lyttelton’s terrible disclosures.”

The speaker ruled him out of erder. : - Sir John Wardlaw-Milne, conservative, moving a motion of no confidence in the central direction of the war, attacked Churchill in his

charged bungling in war direction and said: ; “No minister of defense in the full knowledge of the facts as we know them today could possibly have made the statements Mr. Churchill made to the effect that we were on equal terms with the enemy in Libya. “They were untrue and inaccurate.” =

Demands Inquiry on Libya

Wardlaw-Milne charged that Britain lost Singapore because it believed that American sea power would be available to defend British sea positions in the Far East and by implication demanded an inquiry on Libya similar to that the United States conducted on Pearl Harbor. “That inquiry did not upset the (United States) government or force the (American) people into panic,” he said. ) ‘This was in response to an appeal by an unauthorized government supporter that the debate be postponed because of its. possible effect on world opinion—an appeal that Churchill hinfself abruptly and forcefully rejected, demanding a direct vote on the no confidence on. ardlaw-Milne proposed that the duke of Gloucester, King George's brother who is now chief liaison of-

home forces, be made commander in chief of the British army. . This proposal was greeted by ironic cheers and a cry: “That's put the lid on it.” But Wardlaw-Milne was cheered when he charged that British tanks were’ out of date and inferior. The prime strategy of Britain, Lyttleton said, was “to defend British citizens of Malta and Palestine ang friendly or-allied people of other countries comprising the Middle Eesst, and to defend the Suez canal anc the oil fields of Iraq and Persia’ Ritchie Is Defended

Lyttleton defended Lieut. Gen. Neil M. Ritchie, who commanded the desert armored division until relieved June 25. There is no evidence to support the allegation that Ritchie ran into an axis ambush June 13, he said. “On June 13 the enemy undoubtedly destroyed a large number of our tanks when Ritchie was attacking. but the attack was made after careful reconnaissance,” Lyttleton said. Lord Cranborne, secretary of state for colonies and leader of the house of lords, said it had been the intention to hold Tobruk. “There .was no last-minute change,” he said. “The fall was quite unexpected by the command-er-in-chief and by the government.” Earl Winterton, conservative, charged that Churchill and the government were Margely responsible for Britain’s defeats. He said that if the armament of British armored and mechanized divisions was unsatisfactory then “the opening of a second front in Europe would lead to the greatest military disaster in our history.”
