London, June 10.

Gordon Young, Reuter special cor- respondent in Turkey, cables a letter to The Thies in which he utters o warning against over-estimating the enemy's power and resources as we, in the past, underestimated them.

The tremendous force expend- ed upon each objective does not de- that similar force can be simultaneously available elsewhere.

The Germans have furiously ex- pended men and materials in France and may be much nearer the end of their tether and more worried then they appear to be, he says, especial- ly in view of the bad European har- veste and the Allied destruction of Nazi petrol supplies and aeroplanes. -Reuter-
