| Question of Offensive Rests Entirely Upon Supply Problem. _

By RICHARD MOWRER Copyright, 1042, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicage Daily News, Inc. CAIRO, Aug. 12—The desert front, so quiet for the past 12 days, is showing signs of restlessness. In the air there is increased activity. The Germans seem to have re-

While shipping has been plying between Italy and Benghazi and Tobruk, the enemy has developed a system of supplies toward Sollum, Mersa Matruh and various beaches en the Egyptian coast. This system saves overland motor transport.

Usually the barges have a fighter plane escort overhead and flagships as well. It is calculated that each lighter carries the equivalent of 90 three-ton trucks and they are capable of transporting medium and large tanks. Royal air force and royal AustraMan air force long-range fighters have been dealing with these lighters interfering to a degree with the arrival at the front of valuahle supplies for Rommel.
