A violent naval bat t'e is believed raging in the Gulf of Finland the Germans attempt irg to smash the fleeing armada of Soviet warships. The thunder of gunfre was heard in Helsinki, 50 miles across the Gulf from Tallinn. Finnish f1;ers reported seeing many dozen Russian ships steaming out of Tallinn, heading eastward. The Germans and Fin nish fleets were said attacking the Russians, in flight after burn ing the capital.
 Finnish aerial observers also reported that great fires redden- ed the night skies at Viipuri, in dicating that the Russians were destroying the Karelian capital 75 miles north of Leningrad. The flames were visible 32 miles away, the Films said.
 The Russians acknowledged another major setback with the fall of the great Ukraine city ot Dnieperopetrovsk and the destrut
 ion of a hundred and ten million dollar Dnieper Diver dam.
 A Nazi war bulletin declared that several thousand prisoners were taken at the Tallinn maya base along with 22 loaded trans ports, six coastal batteries anc vast stores of booty. With the fall of Tallinn, the Germans now hold control of all Baltic terri tory except a few islands. Russia conceded that German assault troops penetrated the approach es to Leningrad and Nazi dis patches said German divisions are within 32 miles of the old Czarist capital; and that the Films are steadily advancing from the north.

NO SIGN LEFT

Back there on the edge of the
pool there was no sign left OF the
killer leopard-or at least there
was nothing that would ren1ind a
person of a 1.-the, ferocious Jungle
beast.
Just a red smudge smoking on
the ground, some bits of tawny
fur, few broken bones ripped
from carcass. and nothing else.
An, but there was one more
thing. For minutes after the
others had departed 1t lay there.
Then it slowly, painfully hunched
itself, crawled to the edge OF the
scum pool TO drink.
But it never took that final
drink. Death came to intervene.
That had been N'Gatcha, aban-
,doned after brief glance by the
males and females of his people,
who knew that he could not live
and that a male baboon invari-
ably wishes to die alone.
He was one who had gathered
that tearing. ripping demon Of the
jungle to his own breast; who had
gone to seize the body Of a killer
whose claws could tear away the
mead OF almost any beast that
walked, whose fangs could crush
the skull of almost any jungle
creature, and there had fought de-
terminedly to the end. rescued at
the last--but not before the spine
of the leopard had snapped.
The leader had seen his duty and
had done it, without thought of
self or of complaint.
The stake had been only a
nameless baby baboon not even
belonging to himself, but one of
the band which he had led.
