LONDON, March 21.-The
early rout of the Germans from
Kharkov, Russia's fourth city, was
indicated today, and it was re-
ported that Soviet forces had
taken Staraya Russo, around
which they have been systemat-
ically annihilating the corraled
German 18th army for weeks.
German admissions OF heavy
pressure east of Kharkov, In the
rich Donets Basin, were inter-
preted by London observers as in
|dicative of its imminent fall to
the Russians.
Moreover, a dispatch from
Stockholm yesterday said the Ger
mans. realizing that their occupa-
ton of Kharkov was about over,
were burning their oil supplies,
and dynamiting tank, gun and
munitions depots.
The city was said to be almost
surrounded and German commu-
nications to the west limited to
one railroad and a highway.
Radio Vichy broadcast that the
Russians had entered Staraya
Russo, 40 miles below Leningrad.
While there was no official con-
|fir1nation OF the report, radio
Moscow said that the German
18th army was methodically being
destroyed and losing its opera
tional bases one by one.

I have done this for the same
reason that / volunteered last

duty to my country.
I do not hesitate, therefore, to
say that my convictions on the
subject Of war, particularly on
this one, have not changed.
The reason I am writing you
this, Mr.. Hearst:
You and have read and prob
ably heard our leaders praying
for Gods blessing that we may
win this war. -
1t strikes me as hypocriticaI to
ask God to bless an effort which
we may share jointly with u. s.
s. r., government which is
avowedly atheistic, which has not
only rejected God Officially" but
has destroyed practically every
vestige of Christian civilization
within Its confines, and wherever
IL has invaded successfully. r.
For my part, 1 think we would
have q better chance of winning
this war with God on our side and
with the u. 8. 8. r. against us.
With Him on our side 1 think We
could lick 'hell' out OF all the
dictators put together; without
Him I am very dubious about the
outcome.
Nevertheless, am ready to
