German Losses Heavy,
Red Spokesman Says

KUIBYSHEV, Russia, Nov. 26 t4'
German gains against Red Army
positions both above and below
Moscow-an armored thrust to the
Kiln Moscow highway and a Co.
mile drive east from Tula-were an
nounced by Russian agencies today
in the growing central-front crisis.
Late night dispatches declared,
however. that Marshal Semeon IT,
moshenko's sweeping southern coun-
teroffensive was continuing west
of Rostov. with the Germans aban-
doning tanks, arms and supplies in
their fight.
s. A. Lozovsky, Vice Commissar Of
Foreign Affairs, said the two major
drives against the capital possibly
already had cost the Germans more
dead and wounded than the $50 900
they lost at Verdun in the World
War.
He estimated 1000 invaders had
been killed in the fighting for Ros-
tov and reported 10000 German
casualties northwest Of that Don
River port.
Lozovsky dismissed the fighting
about Moscow as indecfsive, declar-
ing that in none of the sectors be-
fore that city have the Germans
achieved the slightest serious sue
cess"
The Communist party newspaper
Pravda also reflected an optimistic
Russian viewpoint, citing air and
armored reinforcements from Bri-
tain and the United States.
English and American fighters
are already in action on the Moscow
front" it said. Now British tanks
have arrived. The German Fascist
impcrialists will feel daily on their
own skin the ever-increasing power
of the mighty coalition of the U. S
S. r., Great Britain and the United
States"

said to be holding the initiative gen.
