The japanese know the Siberian
Army will be a hard nut to

Manchurian border are in ex-

Russian provinces is high. Stern

Moscow has been on the alert
for years and has calculated that
in the event of war japanese
agents might blow up the tunnels
on the tran-Siberian line and
thus isolate that region. Hence
large quantities of war material
have been stored in those regions.
Gen. Stern, according to reports,

 The Axis forces made no new Threats of retaliation, although Germany's intensified drive into She Ukraine as reported by the Ber- tin communique indicated an "alal out" effort to crack the Red army front before outside aid could be effective.

 The government was believed to be considering three courses:
 Declaring von Thermann persons non grata; ignoring the resolution; beginning discreet negotiations ir Berlin and have von Thermann re. called.
 The resolution was passed "in general" and 1t was believed the executive would take no action ur- til the chamber had voted on 1t sec- ton by section.
 Won Thermann May Go
 The newspaper Noticlas G4aficas said, however, that the executive branch, after cabinet conferences would declare von Thermann per. cona non grata. 1t said Foreign Minister Enrique Ruiz 0uinazu would meet soon with Acting pres4- dent Ramon s. Castillo to discusa the resolution. Neither duinazu nor Castillo would comment.
 Tn addition to cenguring won Thermann, the resolution demanded dissolution of the German Cultural and Welfare Federation and the German Labor Union Federation, which the Taborda committee de. ccribed as synonymous with the Ma. tional Socialist Nazi party, outlawed in 1889. It asked also that the cor. poration franchise of the German Chamber of Commerce be revoked and that residence laws by invoked against leaders of Nazi organiza- tons to forse their expulsion.
 It was passed after three days oi oratory in which von Thermanp and Argentine Nazis were denounc. cd by leaders and members of all political parties. The one vote against It was cast by Deputy Daniel Videla, who doubted its constitution ality,

 on the lines of Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell's winter blitS of last Decem- Der would:
 l. Appease British public opin. ion which has been ciamoring for the government to seize the oppor. tunity of the German Russian war to take the initiative.
 2. Improve British morale at time when England is facing an. other winter of war.
 3. Eliminate one claw of tho German pincers which Adolf Hitler Is believed to be attempting to closs on the British army of the Middle East and the oil and cotton that army is defending.
 {. Roll up the Mediterranean coastline as far as Tripoh, depriv. ing the Germans and Italians ol naval bases, and bring British forces alongside those of Gen. Maxine Weygand.
 5. Destroy or capture at least tive German Panzer divisions as we'll as numerous Italian forces, reported ip North Africa now, with their cor. responding material.
 6. Possibly make the German switch some of their planes from the Russian front and thus relieve pressure there.
 The action of the German com. mand in pushing two columns acrosA the Egyptian-Libyan border re- sembles tactics employed by the Italians last year prior to and after launching of the offensive which carride them to Sidi Barrani.
 The small garrison of Australian and British troops, holding out in beleaguered Tobruk since April ilth. meanwhile has begun to take the initiative again. despite the fact that superior Italo-G German forces surround them.
 While Tobruk continues to hold out, the British have a point from which they can cut or harass the lines of communication of any Ger- man or Italian force attempting to invade Egypt by following tho coastline.
 Wavell's SO-miIe-an-hour blit against the Italians began as counter offensive to Q strong, vel organized push by the Italians.
 Military experts believe. theT fore, that t is possible thu WaveIl's successor, Gen. Sir Clauo Auchinleck, may allow any Germ forces crossing the Egyptian bord to penetrate some distance into [ country with the object Of forcl them Co iengthen and weaken tll lines e communication.

 Young COP to Meet
 The Young Republican meeting tonight is expected to set the stage for a bitter primary battle. Col. Rice and other speakers are expect- ed to assail Chairman Hall, Regis- trar Albert o. Falior and other leaders. The meeting IS called 6 social" but 1t will no doubt be anything but that.
 Two insurgent groups held meet ings last night to map plans for their participation in primary battle. One group met at the rooms of the Young Mems Italian Repub- lcan club and consisted of back CTS of ex.Mayor Patrick Pciriello for the nomination. Another group met at Town Plot but withheld in- formation as to what went on.
 MT. Kearney was guardedly op- timistic in his remarks about chances of peace within the party. He would not elaborate on the conferences" that are being held, but he presumably meant that he hoped that the Perriello forces could be swung into line. There is a grave question as to whether MT. Kearney would accept the nomina- ton, in view of his holding 8 busy defense post at the B. J. Manville Co. Likewise, he probably would not relish 8 primary battle that would only hurt chances Of elec- ton victory.
 StiIl Be Primary Fight
 Should the organization back down and give Mir. Perriello the nomination, there would still prob ably be e primary fight, for vir- tually all the "insurgent blocs are determined to battle for the custer of Registrar of Voters Albert O. Taller. The opposition's leading candidate advanced against Regis- trar Taller is Harold K. Hadley, for- mer Young Republican president.
 The opponents of the crganiza- ton are marshalling their forces early, hoping to be in readiness if they are given only an ll-hour mo- tice of the primary date, as was the case two years ago. Despite the shortness of time then, small group of workers almost upset the organization and won the nomin- ation for MT. Perriello.

 Four out of six troop-laden trans. ports with which the Germans sought to capture the island were sunk, the communique asserted, and the other two were seriously dam aged.
 One protecting German destroyer was sunk, the communique said, and others In the convoy were damaged.
 Another German troop-carrying transport was sunk of the Arctic coast, along with 6 German patrol ship, by two Russian torpedo boats.
 The transport, an 5000 ton ship, and It's escort of 6 medium size war {. ship and three patrol ships. were sighted on their way to PetSano, Finland's Arctic sea port.
 Warned Torapedo Boats
 The planes which sighted the con- voy warned the torpedo boats, which crept past coastal batteries under cover of darkness and aInbushed the German ships close to the coast. Firing at ranges of between 800 and 500 yards, it was asserted, the Rus- sian ships loosed torpedoes and sank the transport and the patrol ship. The days first war conmunique said Russian army and navy troops had repulsed with heavy losses Ger man and Rumanian troops who at. tackled Odessa, and that the fourth Rumanian infantry regiment was routed. One battalion, 1000 men, was wiped out, the connmunique said.
 It was disclosed also that Russian planes had resumed their attacks on Rumanian objectives with raids on Constanza, the chief naval base; Sulina, at the mouth of the Dan- ube, and Galati, up the river. Galati not only has important oil refineries but is the seat of the Rumanian naval academy and the chief Dan- ube shipping companies.

NGOllllIluCU HUH EiBC ~ over the broad lower reaches of the Dnieper in a bold attack at the most important points.
 After bridegheads had been held and extended, party with tank sup port, in several days eof fighting against strong and bitter enemy att tackS, German divisions are thrust ing forward from them and are now advancing victoriously on a broad front farther eastwarG.~
 The break-through on the lower Dnieper front (which London ad- mitted was e grave threat to the southern Russian armies) was the first big German advance reported in that sector since Che Red army of Marshal Semyon Budenny was forced to withdraw to the eastern bank.
 At that time, the Russians carried out Q scorched earth policy in des- troying everything possible in the path of the German forces but nevertheless important industrial and power centers fell into German hands.
 German Strategy
 The German strategy then called for passing by besieged Odessa, on the Black Sea, and establishing bridCeheads over the Dnieper which the Russians had partly flooded. The communique indicated that there had been a number Of break throughs in the Russian river de- lenses in addition to those previous lys reported at Kremenchug south east of Kiev, and near the mouth of the river, where drive was head ed toward the Crimea.
 The high command said that on the northern front the Germans had Destroyed" nine Russian divi- sions and defeated nine others in recent weeks south of Lake linen, on the Leningrad front. CThe Rus Vians recently had reported they were pressing a strong counter-at- tack in this general area in an eff fort to relieve the siege of Lenin. grad).
 27O,OOO Russians
 Eighteen Russian divisions would total about 270000 men.
 It was asserted that more than 53,000 Russian prisoners had been taken in the area, i40 miles south of Leningrad, and that the Germans had captured 320 tanks, 692 field guns and large quantities of war materials.
 Strong forces of the Russian llth, 27th, and 34th armies were decisive ly defeated in the battle, 1t was as- serted, by German troops under Colonel General Busch supported by the air force under Colonel General Keller.
 Claims of the big victory came as dispatches from the front reported German shock troops fighting yard by yard into the inner defenses of Leningrad through hundreds of steel and concrete pill box or bunker forts
 It was indicated that the German advanced troops had ringed Russia's second city, and on the southwest, south and southeast sectors, were within IS to 20 miles of its center.
 German tanks were now being put into action on the key stretch of the battle ring cnly to repel Rus sian counter-attacks, while specially trained engineers and infontrymen, including units with special bunker cracking weapons, fought their way in with flame throwers, hand gren- ades and automatic weapons.
 Strength of Defenses
 An Idea of the strength of the de- lenses through which the Germans are attempting to fight their way was given in official news agency dispatches which described the cracking of 121 pill-box forts by three divisions within two days.
