STAIN:
Celebrates

The anniversary of the October
revolution was celebrated in Mos
cow with Stain himself reviewing
troops in front of the grim walls of
the Kremlin, with hordes of Russian
fighting planes wheeling overhead
and less than so miles away the Red
armies battling to hold back the
Nazi hordes.
The Germans had boasted that
the Russians would have been beat
en- to their knees long before the an
nual great Soviet holiday. Instead
Stain was in his country's capital
city, reviewing the troops in the
customary fashion, despite the war.
He declared that the Germans had
lost 1850, 900 men in killed, wounded
and captured since the start of the
invasion of Russia, admitted that
much territory had been lost while
PRUSSIA stood alone" against the in
vader, but promised his people that
Germany was beaten and within a
year would collapse under the
weight of sits crimes"
There was bitter note in Stains
talk as to the lack of full British CO.
operation, though he did give thanks
for the aid that had been received.
Yet there was great deal of calm
confidence, and he expressed his ma
tons willingness to fight on, come
what may, until the collapse of Ger
many, regarded by him as inevita-
BILE, would take place.

PICTURE:
Red Front

The ever-dubious picture of the
Red front against the Nazis had be-
gun to clarity itself somewhat, the
general view being that the Russian
armies were somewhat in jeopardy
on the southern sector, though rap
idly assuming the offensive in the
north and central portions.
Attacks by the Red armies were
cited at Kalinin, 95 miles northwest
of Moscow; at Volokolamsk, IS
miles outside the city; at Mozhaisk,
and at Maloyaroslavets.
When it was considered that the
Germans a few weeks before had
claimed to be in Moscow's ''indus-
trial suburbs" and far beyond the
points named, it began to be evil
dent that the Moscow attack, at
least halted, might well be consid-
cred in reverse.
The Russians admitted reverses
in the Crimea, on the other hand
declared they could hold onto Sevas-
topol and Kerch indefinitely, and
pointed to their long stand at Odes-
sa, and to the successful evacuation
there.
