at

went
on

that

The
opinion
was
that
such
a

would

be

and
would
only
Impose
another

on

CAIRO,
June
2:
The
spearhead
of
the
German
attack
against
To-bruck
has
been
turned
back
and
General
Rommell's
forces
are
endeavouring
to
get
out
of
a
trip
southwest
of
Tobruk.
Neither
the
British
nor
the
Germans.
It
Is
de
clared,
can
maintain
the
present
pace
for
more
than
two
or
three
days.
Axis
losses
are
so
far
heavier
than
the
British.
The
situation
today
was
that
General
Erwin
Rommel's
Axis
forces
were
Just
about
back
where
they
started
at
the
beginning
of
the
latest
thrust
a
few
days
ago,
having
suffered
heavy
losses
In
tanks
and
men
for
their
trouble.
Three
divisions
are
endeavouring,
under
heavy
British
air
assault,
to
fight
their
way
back
to
their
bases.
