The speed of the allied advance, which swept the 75 miles from Stax to Sotisse ih 48 hours over the week-érid, shows clearly that Rommel has not had time to mine his line of retreat to slow the enemy’s progress. . The same presumably will hold true north of Sousse. As the 8th Army pounds at his heels, Rommel

will have little tifie to prepare and man defensible positions on the line

from Enfidaville to Pont du Fahs, which would have beefi his next logical holding point if the lower hills had not the allied nutcracker sweep upset all all his plans. The American-British-Ffenieh force which took Kaifouan is in a position to advance aloiig the highway to Enfidaville, effecting a junc-

crumbling of Marshal Erwin Rom-

tion there with the 8th Army. Patrols of the forces are already in contact. There remains for Rommel only a consolidation with the northern force of Gen. Jurgen vor Arnim for the 14st stand around Tunis and Biserte. That heavily fortified region may be held for a considerable length of time, but perhaps not as long as some allied military authorities had feared, because of two factors. The odds are against Rommel in the matter of allied air superiority and in weakened supply lines. With possession of Kairouan and other advanced bases, this air superiority is bound to be increasingly felt. Moreover, Rommel’s sea lines have been fuhnelled down to Tunis and Bizerte, making it easier. for - the allies to sthash any attémpt at re-

plenishiféit of supplies, especially gasoline and oil. ;
