Dnieper Bridgeheods
Seized, Nozis Report

BERLIN, Sept. Is (P,.-Adolf Hit
lers field headquarters announced
today the decisive defeat of three
entire Russian armies about $50
miles south of Leningrad and the
seizure Of important bridgeheads on
the broad reaches Of the lower
Dnieper far to the south as high
lights OF general push eastward
all along the front.
In both cases effective support by
the air force was credited with a
large share in the successes, which
were announced while other dis
patches from the front pictured
Leningrad's steel and concrete forti-
ficationS as crumbling and the Ger
man forces approaching ever closer
to that besieged city.
The Soviet 11th, 9th and 34th
armies were beaten south of Lake
linen, in the north-central front. q
special communique said. Nine di-
visions were declared completely
annihilated" and nine more crushed
with the bloodiest of losses"
Estimating a division at about
$4,000 men, this might indicate
the loss Of about 270,0OO Red
Army soldiersD
SOS Artillery Pieces Taken.
Three hundred and twenty tanks
and sos pieces of field artillery were
among the vast stocks of Russian
war material captured or destroyed
the special announcement said.
Troops of Col. Gen. Busch and the
air arm under Col. Gen. Keller were
credited with the victory after a
battle of several weeks.
This special communique was fol-
lowed almost Immediately by an
other announcing seizure Of the
Dnieper bridgeheads.
I'm the Ukraine" it said, German
Army units, in an audacious attack
effectively supported by the air force,
established bridgeheads on highly
important points across the broad
Lower Dnieper.
After these bridgeheads were held
and widened in several days of Tight
ing against strong, embittered enemy
attacks, partly assisted by tanks.
German divisions now have pushed
VIGOROUSLY eastward on a broad
'front.'"
Crossing Dnieper for Week.
German war correspondent Karl
Eckert said Hitler's forces had been
streaming across the lower Dnieper
for at least a week.
The Russians had considered their
positions safe behind the 10O0-yard
wide Dnieper, an Official spokesman
said.
Bad weather in this sector now
has given way to good, he said, and
German troops have new tasks"
cut out for them.
Sites of the brideheads were not
disclosed.
The Dnieper. one of the largest
rivers IN Russia and very broad in
its lower reaches, has been a major
obstacle to the German drive in the
Ukraine.
Defenses are Tough Nut.
Dispatches from the front said
more than 200 bunkers and pillboxes
in the Leningrad defense zone,
originally some rs miles deep, had
been smashed or captured. At some
places, German troops, advancing
after devastating bombardment by
siege guns and dive-bombers, were
reported only Is miles from the heart
of the city.
The Germans acknowledged the
Red Army was offering fierce re-
sistanqe and that Leningrad's mod
ern defense works were proving a
tough nut to crack, but military
commentators reiterated with grow
ing confidence that the fall of the
one-time capital of the Czars was
oylv n matter of time

Stripped for action, the United
States Atlantic feet took under the
protection of its guns today all lease
lend cargoes in transit On the At
lantic between the North American
continent and Iceland.
The zero-hour for this new phase
of operations was 1901 am, and the
widely accepted view in authoritative
quarters here was that it meant the
start of actual convoy duty by United
States naval vessels along a 1000
mile stretch of the North Atlantic.
Literally, the new naval policy as
enunciated by Secretary Knox was
to provide protection "as adequate
as we can make it" in the designated
area, with all fleet units under spe-
cific orders ito capture or destroy
by every means at their disposal
every Axis raider encountered.
With the Atlantic fleet charged

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 LESSON SERMON FOR SERVICES ON SIrNnAy

SERVICES ON SUNDAY
 At the Church of Christ, Scien- tist, on Sunday the subject is Doctrine of Atonement."
 The following excerpts from the Lesson-Sermon are taken as fol- lows.
 From the Bible: Let us draw near with a true heart in full as- surance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profess sion of our faith without waverine. (Hebrews)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, By Mary Baker Eddy. The nature of Christi ianity is peaceful and blessed. but in order to enter into the kingdom, the anchor of hope must be cast beyond the veil of matter into the Shekinah into which Jesus has passed before us; and this advance beyond matter must come through the joys and triumphs of the right eous as well as through their sor- rows and afflictions. Like our Mas ter, we must depart from material sense into the spiritual sense of being. (Page 4O)

Weasel in the summer, er1nine in
the winter! This is the strange
truth about the common weasels-
daring visitors of barnyards and
woods In the Canadian Northwest.
They are small animals with snake
like movements, long necks and
bodies, short legs and ears. Their
upper color is solid dark with q
lighter color below. One-third of
the tail length is tipped in black.
During the winter the dark coat is
gradually changed to snowy white,
the ck-tipped tail remaining the
same, with a slightly golden tinge
on head, rump and tail
The white coat, of course, Is for
adaptability to surrounding white
fields; otherwise, how would the
weasel-ermine escape attention and
find food? There are five kinds of
weasels, and all turn white in win
ter. Outside of the need to adjust
themselves to conditions in their To-
calities, traits and family habits are
almost identical.
Though the weasel is found chiefly
on the ground, it can climb a tree
and is not slow at it, either. All of
them seek fruitful ranges and re-
main in these areas, killing every
thing they can until foes more
formidable appear and rout the
little thugs. They kill for the SEEM
ing JOY of killing, never realizing
that day may come when their
supply will be depleted. There have
been instances where a large cache
of dead animals has been found and
known to have been brought to the
place by the ermine. But the be-
lief is that storing is winter habit.
This creature has most unlovable
traits, habits and temperament. To
see one of them hunting and cap
turing its victim is to witness the
actions of demon. Listen to this
array of fighting tools with a CO.
ordination that is almost machine
like in performance. The low fore
head and sharp nose add to the
uglineSs of the face. Glittering
green eyes expressive of cunning.
intensity of feeling as though of
hatred and determination to punish
some one, make the strange, weird
face seem diaboical. The teeth of
the weasel are said to be almost the
highest type known of raptorial
character and the Jaws are worked
by great masses of muscles which
cover all the sides of the skull. The
body is slender and Wiry and the

important, for he helps to maintain
the balance of nature. How? His
delight and energy In eliminating
rats and mice are really valuable.
Stacks Of grain, bins and barns
filled to the brim with this impor-
tant food for farm animals are
saved through the untiring activity
of the weasel toward these small
beasties. In the killing of mice near
an orchard we are again indebted
to the ermine. So we hope that by
careful study and research more
favorable light may yet be thrown
on this strange and fearless bandit
of the open spaces.
