can crush Russia. has started
building defenses to hold his east
ern gains so the bulk of his army
will be free TO meet the threat Of
a second front in the west. I'M
usually well informed sources said
Tuesday.
The same sources expressed be-
lief that Hitler might start a
peace offensive this winter and
tell the German people that a
separate peace with Russia was
necessary without the total victory
he had promised them.
HEDGEHOG CITADELS
Informants said the new Ger
man defenses in the east would
not be along continuous line.
like the west wall opposite France
or the old French Magnet line,
but a chain OF hedgehog cita-
deis designed TO permit a relative
ly few men. garrison troops, TO
hold the Russians while the main
German armies moved TO western
Europe.
The position of the new eastern
defense line naturally was secret
but informants reported that IN
parts of northern and central
Russia il had already been defined,
and that construction of actual de-
lenses had been started.
GARRISONs STOCKED
In the south, II was said, the
Germans hoped to make further
gains and then orient their defense
line as far as possible on the
Volga river.
The hedgehogs or citsdeis
would be as much rs IS miles
apart, informants reported.

that garrisons could hold out
through the winter without
reproyisioning.
Each garrison would consist Of
about one division Of between 49,
600 and 10000 men. informants
said, and each would have its own
airdrome.
The underground m All n ;
would be aimed at solving a supply
problem which took the Germans
to the verge Of disaster last
winter.

severely hurt If East has weak hand but West can wait for a double before trying to rescue it.
 North, however, assists the hearts. East thinks he cannot be much hurt at three clubs, and per- haps the opponents can be forced beyond their depth. He bids three clubs and achieves his purpose when South bids three hearts. From the point of view of match-point play, East has won the board. Three hearts can be set one trick by the third-round spade ruff.
 But now West comes to life with bid of four clubs. He thinks three hearts might be made but would like to double four. Instead he himself is doubled, and the vic- tory won by East is turned to a bottom score.
 West should realize that when he passes two clubs, he in effect promises East that he will stay out of the bidding thereafter, except to double for business. Any further bid by East Is based on this promise
