Violent Attacks,
Germans Admit
May Be Prelude
To New Winter
Comeback Drive
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The
German high command declared
today that the resurgent Red
Army has gone from defensive
warfare to violent new attacks
in the Caucasus, along the Don,
south of Leningrad and on the
Rybachi Peninsula at the north
ernmost end of the Russian
Finnish frontier.
The Berlin radio broadcast of the
communique from Adolf Hitler's
headquarters claimed the attacks
had been repulsed, but suggested
they might be the prelude for new
winter drive by the Soviet Army.
Advantage Claimed in Taupse.
The only advantage the Germans
claimed was in the Taupse sector
along the Black Sea coast of the
Caucasus, where the communique
said Russian force had been cut
off and annihilated, and in the air
war, in which heavy losses were said
to have been inflicted on the Rus
slams by German and Rumanian
fighters and bombers.
"Violent new attacks by the Rus
slams east of Agadir Gin the Central
Caucasus) were bloodily repulsed,'
the communique said. It said Ger
man artillery and air attacks were
directed against Russian troop con-
centrations in that area where the
Nazi thrust toward the passes of the
Caucasus has been turned back.
I'm Stalingrad, shock troops are
fighting" said the communique in
its only reference to that long
contested salient on the Volga.
"On the Don front, Rumanian
troops warded off several attacks
in the course of which the Ru-
manian air force inflicted consider
able losses on the enemy"
Continuation of Maneuvering.
The Don battle was more than
just a continuation of the months
of maneuvering for position there,
the communique emphasized. New
fighting is going on there" it de-
clared.
Attacks repeatedly made by the
enemy in the night on Rybachi
(Fisher) Peninsula were repulsed,'
the communique said.
OF the Volkhov River front south
of Leningrad it reported:
"In heavy defensive fighting of
the past days an Alpine division
from Berchtesgaden, employed at
Volkhov, particularly exceled"
Hitler's headquarters made no Sc
cret, however, that the Russians had
the initiative, and were striking in
force.
I'm this sector" the communique
said, "the enemy attacked, employ
ing nine infantry battalions support
ed by tanks, strong artillery and
battle planes. against a position de-
Tended by troops of various German
regions.
after four days of incessant,
ferocious, man-to-man fighting in
mired trench positions, all enemy
attacks collapsed. :"

 One victory of which may Japa- nese captors were most proud was the capture of Corregidor. The long Determined stand made by Gen Douglas Macarthur and his vastly outnumbered forces in the Philip pines made these Japanese proude1 of their victory than of the shorter battles for Hong Kong and Singa- pore.
 A question I was asked during the various times was questioned by Japanese officers was what thought America would do "now that she had lost all her bases irl Asia" Usually this question grew out of the asserted assumption that Japan would soon occupy Australia

 American ability in athletics al- ways has aroused Japanese respect. When Japanese went after inter- national championships in tennis, swimming, baseball, track or other sports. they invariably found them- selves competing against Americans. Japanese athletic fans are familiar with the names of most American champions.
 Japan has not yet produced auto. mobiles, airplanes. fountain pens, or many athletic champions to equal those of America. The automobiles, trucks, typewrlters and most of the airplanes being used by Japan in this war either are American made or manufactured from American models.
