WAR IMPRESSIONS
FIELD MARSHAL SMUTS WELL SATISFIED SOVIET EFFORT EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS. SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON BRITAIN UNLIKELY. iEv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) PRETORIA. August 19. “Altogether I bring back happy impressions of cur men and the general situation, but always with the strong feeling that we are up against it this time,” said Field Marsha! Smuts, on his return from Cairo. The Russian resistance had exceeded expectations and was using up a large part of the German war machine, but part of the machine would remain. he added. As the Germans failed to invade Britain last year when she was weak, there was now little likelihood of a successful attack. “The Germans have enormous resources to fling against us. and Italy is full of Germans who have the advantage of shorter distances, but I think these difficulties will be overcome," he concluded.
