The Fuehrer has had tremendous
setback in the sensational feat OF
the Red Army not only in forcing
the Nazis out of RoStov-the hinge

Hitlers resources aren't likely to

capital as etched by travellers who
have just come from there:
BarricadeS have been erected at
the approaches to the city-but the
appearance of the inner capital it
self is little changed except for evil
dences of heavy German bombings.

University structures are among the
buildings which have been hit.

which was blown off its pedestal in
front of the university, has been

Few Persons in Streets.
There are Comparatively few per-
sons on the streets and few automo-
biles on the broad avenues.
The withdrawal of Moscow resi-
dents reached its height October l6
when the Germans broke through in
the direction of Mozhaisk, 81 miles
west of the capital
Many foreigners left Moscow then
and for two DAYS Russians also left
by trains and automobiles until the
German drive was checked and the
situation at the front was stabilized
Now the population of the city has
become comparatively stable. Long
freight trains carry out some of the
belongings of those who left earlier.
