But the Germans apparently
were still clinging to positions at
the west side of the city, and the
danger to the city from the
south, where Hungarian infantry
and cavalry were attacking at
the confluence of the Don and
Voronezh rivers, was not less
ened.
North and northwest of the
city the Germans had been
thrown back, leaving many ra-
vines and hills and fields clut-
tered with broken machines and
bodies.
Izvestia said Germans we're
dying before Voronezh in the
same proportions but on a larger
scale than they did at Sevasto-
pol. The Russians have reported
that 10000 Germans lost their
lives taking the latter stronghold
in the Crimea.
The Soviet information bureau
estimated that Adolf Hitler al
ready had lost 100000 men, in
60 days of spring and summer
warfare.
Naval dispatches reported
that a German submarine, flee

ter was going, but said that a
number of enemy tanks had
been knocked out.
"Details of our losses are not
yet known" the bulletin added.
Other dispatches from the
front indicated that much of tire
armored strength of both sides
was engaged in the struggle and
il appeared that a crisis in the
battle for Egypt was near.
British headquarters said that
the Raj was strongly support
ing the imperial ground forces
and that bombers, fighter-bomb-
ers and fighters were continuing
TO hammer at the enemy around
the clock.
Direct hits were reported on
Axis vehicles, tank workshops,
gun positions and concentrations
of motor transport.
Throughout the hours of day
light our fighters maintained
continuous patrol over the bat
tie area and shot down at least
four enemy aircraft" the COM
munique said. From these ex-
tensive operations six of our
aircraft are missing"
The immediate objective of
the attacks against the British
center was a position on Ru-
weieat Ridge, which runs east
and west for about 10 miles
south Of the coast.
Observers said the position
would have to be erased before
the Axis forces could make any
advance elsewhere.
From the scale of the action,
observers here believed that
Marshal Erwin Rommel, whose
German Italian forces h We
been stalled before Ell Alamein
since June 80, might be stalking
everything on a new about at

lenses and push on to Alexan-
dria, rs or 80 miles awav.
While the heaviest fighting
was reported in the central Sec
tor, a see-saW battle also was
surging around Tel Ell Elsa (Hill
of jesus on the coast.
Military advices received in
Cairo last night said that cQun-
ter-attacking Australian troops
had recaptured the Tel Ell Elsa
Ridge yesterday only to be driv-
en- out by enemy infantry sup
ported by tanks.
Heavy artillery duels were re-
ported along the entire front
and aerial activity was growing
in intensity, with the Germans
calling upon plane reserves
which they apparently had been
saving for a crucial moment.
BRITISH ADVANCE
The battle in the central sec
tor was joined Wednesday when
the British pushed forward
about seven miles and occupied
a ridge approximately II miles
southwest of Ell Alamein-- pre-
sumably with the intention of
relieving pressure on Australian
forces in the coastal salient.
Repulsed in a series of coun-
ter-attacks on the British posi-
tions, the enemy began throw
ing heavier armor into the strug-
gle late yesterday and by night
fall the battle had swelled to
such proportions that its out
come threatened to prove a
decisive factor in the campaign.
Rommel's chances of success
appeared to hinge on the size of
the endorsements he has re-
ceived during the comparative
lull which marked the first two
weeks in July and the degree 10
which he has been able 10
strengthen his extended lines of

Sub Blows Up Schooner
After Tdkinq on Crew

CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Dominican
Republic, June % tPl.-A submarine
reported to have been one of the
enemy raiders which shelled oil re-
f1neries on Curacao several weeks
ago sank the Dominican schooner
Nueva Altagracia June 16, it was
reported here yesterday.
The captain of the vessel, Jose
Hernandez. said his craft was sent
down IS miles northeast of Curacao.
He said the U-boat halted the
schooner, ordered his crew of seven
and himself aboard the submersible,
took her food stores and then blew
her up with explosives.
Two hours later the eight men
were put aboard the Dominican
sloop Comercio, which took them to
Curacao. Capt. Hernandez said the
submarine forced the Comercio to
jettison half her cargo to make
room for the eight.
He said the submarine had "SV59"
painted on the sides of a slightly
damaged coming tower. On land
ing at Curacao, he said. he learned
she was one of the shelling raiders.
The seven members of his crew
remained in Curacao. He arrived
at San Pedro Macoris Saturday.
