Y LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst The continuing retreat of the axis forces in Libya, which appears to be developing almost into a rout, makes the situation look extremely good for the allies

Marshal Erwin Rommel’s attempt at an orderly retreat has been frustrated. He is on the run and seems likely to have to abandon a valuable part of his army cut off between Marble Arch and Wadi Matritan, west of El Agheila. While Rommel is losing out in his effort to fight a delaying rear [guard action, British and American forces in Tunisia are marking time.

Because of the lengthening communication lines of Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery's eighth army, the British may not be able to ¢lose in for the kill immediately. However, Rommel will have a supply problem himself. He will have to depend on material forced through by the axis to such ports as Tunis, Sfax or Bizerte. Steady allied air bombings are crippling the facilities of those ports.
