Part of the enemy’s considerable force has been released from the Caulron, where it had been contained since the failure of the first attempt to reach Tobruk, says a Cairo message. General Rommel apparently is attempting to outflank the British positions at Knightsbridge and a tank battle is raging southward of the road junction. About 110,000 Italians and Germans are massed in this area and General Rommel may renew his drive towards Tobruk, using an enveloping movement with the purpose of cutting across pur communications with Egypt.
