front said the enemy failed to recover positions lost earlier. The Soviet mid-day communique announced that Russian troops beat back one German counter-attack northeast of Novorossisk, Killing 280 of the enemy and capturing many of their weapons. The Germans have thrown their summer reserves into the battle for the Kuban bridgehead in the western Caucasus and have made repeated counter-attacks with support of armor in an effort to halt the Red army advance, according to word reaching here. The Russians broke up all thc attacks. Military experts said the Russians still hold artillery superiority in this area and that the German air force has been unable to overcome Russian domination of the skies. Russian naval units sank an enemy transport in the Barents sea through which pass the northern supply lines to Russia, the communique announced.

MOSCOW, May 11.—For the sixth successive day, Bryansk was subjected, on May 9, to large-scale raids by Red army bombers, it was announced today. Heavy are reported in the vicinity of the| station. Other groups attacked airdromes gas well as two railroad lines serving the Orel front, two on the Smolensk front, one at Kharkov and one in the lower Donbas. The Red army’s aerial offensive grows daily in power and scope, suggesting that those “decisive battiles” about which the Soviet leaders and press have spoken so frequently may nov be far away. An analysis of the targets and timing of these raids indicates the determination of the Soviet forces to liquidate the threatening Orel salient—a great bulge toward the heart of Russia only 200 miles south of Moscow.

RESISTANCE IN AFRICA CEASING

Allies Completely Cut Off Cap Bon Peninsula in Swift Drive.

(Continued from Page One)

the area south of Lake Achkel, in the northern sector where the Germans formally surrendered to the American 2d corps. Small Nazi guerrilla bands were hiding in caves on Djebel Achkel and dashing out at night and sometimes in daylight

to raid nearby villages. The total number of prisoners

taken in the Tunisian campaign was put at more than 87000, according to official dispatches, but there appeared to be no doubt that it would increase to 100,000 or more soon. Five thousand prisoners were taken by the British in the wedge they drove across the base of Cap Bon peninsula, including part of the Hermann Goering division.

Sea Escape Blocked

There was still no indication of a major attempt by the Germans to stage a Tunisian “Dunkirk” escape by sea, probably because no boats had been available except a few small ones which were sunk by allied planes. American and British bombers continued to throw their greatest weight against the chain of island stepping stones along the invasion route to Italy. Enemy air fields and harbors at Pantelleria naval base island and on Sicily were bombed. It was the fifth raid in three days on Pantelleria when another group of more than 100 bombers attacked the island Monday afternoon following a similar morning raid. Flying Fortresses bombed the airfields at Milo and Borizzo in Sicily, while other airplanes hammered the enemy positions on Cap Bon and in the Zaghouan sector. Many big fires were seen on Cap Bon as a result of the bombings.

Battle's End Near

Again the allied airplanes met virtually no opposition in the air, although they concentrated on enemy airdromes from which troops might try to escape by air from Tunisia. The spokesman pointed out that while “the Germans are showing no inclination to throw up their hands” on the south front, the battle of North Africa is “practically completed.” Many prisoners were coming in, sometimes entire companies with full equipment, from the Cap Bon peninsula and many of them seemed happy to surrender. Near Moghrane the enemy made a small counter-attack but it was quickly repulsed. Lacking food and ammunition, the remnants appeared able to hold out only a few days at the most. There was absolutely no hope of escape for the units which were fighting hardest on the south front.

25 Tanks Smashed

The British break through to Hammamet came Monday after a hard battle below Hammam Lif, at the north base of the peninsula. The British 6th armored division and infantry occupied Soliman at 2 p. m,, seizing the network of Peninsula roads. About 25 enemy tanks where destroyed in this fighting which lasted many hours.

MARSHALL MAY BE ‘CHIEF’ OF INVASION

(Continued from Page One)

operation would be in charge of a task force commander, with common air and naval pools called on for specific support of the operations. Should the proposed consolidation occur, the possibility again arises that an American commander would receive the topmost position. In that event Gen. George C. Marshall appeared to be the most likely candidate. Marshall's position then would be supreme generalissimo of all the allied forces except those in Russia and the Far East. It long has been known that Marshall is anxious to get closer to the scene of action.

He's Well-Liked

While a British commander might get the nod, the precedent set in both North Africa and the Pacific was believed to have increased Marshall's chances. The Jeums | position is largely administrative. Marshall has demonstrated his ability to keep the United States actively engaged on two fronts, and is noted for his good relations not only with subordinate commanders but the allies as well. It is assumed that if Marshall is named supreme commander he would move his headquarters to London .in order to be close to the scene of action. There Is a possibility that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander in chief of allied forces in North Africa, will return to Washington and that Gen. Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, now commander of allied ground troops in Tunisia, will take over the high command. Other British possibilities include Gen. Sir Alan Brooke, chief of the imperial staff, and Field Marshal Sir Archibald P. Wavell, commander in India.
