tanks were caught in a mine field
and three blew up. Another enemy

Soviet communiques for 40 hours
have not mentioned fighting on the
northwestern approach to Stain
grad, where several days ago battles
ragged as heavily as on the south

fronts not specifically mentioned.
Dispatches said the Russians were
in imminent danger of being swamp

Sea naval base of Novorossisk. They
had thrust wedge deep into Soviet
positions, and their superior strength
enabled them to attack in all direc-

fighting was going on in the fourth
day for village, half OF which
was held by Soviet marines and the
other half by he enemy.

"It is impossible for liberty to

the armistice with Germany, de-

they still consider France bound by
the treaties of alliance with which
she entered the war.

which would follow any attempt to
deprive the French of the liberty
they now have, tacitly implying that
revolution might sweep the country
