RUSSIANS BEAT
GERMANS BACK
ENGAGE TN MOST EXTENSIVE
FIGHTING SINCE WINTER
CAMPAIGN BEGAN

MOSCOW, Dec. 18.-The Rus
slams have beaten back the Ger
mans to within IS miles of S5no-
lensk, the Soviet communicate
said today. The fighting there
was the most extensive and sus-
tanned, the war office said, since
the winter campaign began. The
enemy, it was explained, has its
chief base at Smolensk, and the
Russian high command asserted
that its object is to recapture that
base before the end of the winter
fighting.
In the Latvian sector, the re-
port said, the Russians have beat
en- back two enemy attacks, with
losses of more than 500 Germans
and Rumanians. In that area, the
Russians say they are attempting
to encircle a German division, but
Berlin reported over the radio to-
day that the Germans are, instead
encircling the Russians. The radio
added that $4,000 have been trap
ped.
The Russian high command de-
MED the story and added that the
Russian soldiers are doing the
trapping.

COUNTY INCREASES

BOTH COLLECTORS SAY
THAT PROSPECTS FOR FUR

ENCOURAGING

Monroe county has increased it's
margin still more over the city, in
the collection Of taxes since No
vember l, 1912, though only by a
small sum. At the close of bust
ness on Wednesday, the county
led by $2,381.74, and that amount
was increased to $2,623.12 at the
close of business yesterday.
The county's collections at the
beginning of business this morn
ing stood at $115,042.12, and the
total for the city, which took a
squirt of $1,377 for the day,
amounted to $112,419.
The going is still good" Frank
H. Laid, county tax collector,
said today, and a similar senti-
ment was echoed by Sam B. Pin
der, city tax collector, who re-
marked that collections are so
good they are better now than
they have ever been before in the

LULL OF BRITISH
RMYCAUSES
OF new SECTORS
CLAIMED THAT BRITISH
COLUMNS COULD HAVE
CAPTURED BOTH TUNIS
AND BIZERTE
(By Associated PressD

LONDON, Dec. lathe Brit
ish first army, when it entered
Tunisia, could have captured both
Tunis and Bizerte had it not
stopped for reinforcements, &C
cording to disclosure that were
made today by the Allied head
quarters in North Africa.
After the Allies had captured
Morocco and Algeria, the British
first army started its march into
Tunisia and had gone deeply into
the country before it met with
any opposition whatever, so the
story told today says. The Brit
ish were within 20 miles of TuniS
and could have continued to adj
vance but, having met with some
resistance, the commanders de-
cided to wait till reinorcements
came up before proceeding far
Their.
They thought that the Germans
were strongly entrenched in Tu-
mis- and Bizerte, too, but it deVel-
ops now that the Axis had only a
handful of men in either of those
places. The stop of the British
first army gave the Axis COM
manders time in which to rush
reinforcements and supplies
across the strip of 80 miles of the
Mediterranean between BiZerte
and Sicily. And from that day to
this, the story goes on, supplies
and endorsements have been
reaching the Axis forces in BIZ
zerte and Tunis by sea and air
from Sicily, Italy and Sardinia.

Savage Fighting Taking Place
In Air Around Tunisia Section
tBy Associated I'ressl


LONDON, Dec. 18.-Fighting in
Tunisia is still chiefly in the air,
as it has been during the last week.
There were a few minor clashes
today in the Tunis and Bizerte
areas, with little change in the po-
sition of either army.
In the air, however, the fighting
has been savage. Dog fightsihave
been frequent, with the Allies in
every instance coming out on top
That has been particularly true
in the case of the Flying fortress
es, which have shot down many
German and Italian planes with
only an occasional loss of a fort
resS.
The chief report of air activi-
ty today had to do with the
pounding of the naval base at BIZ
zerte with big bombs dropped
from Flying FortresseS and Lib
orators. The German positions
there are said to have been pull
verified along the front line, fore
ing the defenders to fall back to
the second line of defense.
Tunis has also been. pounded
for several days almost continu-
ously by Flying Fortresses and
Liberators. And headquarters to-
day stated that Allied planes are
now almost on par numerically
with the Axis aircraft.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ls.-The

issued before he resigned as chief
Of the Office of Price Administra-
tion suspended tne supply of
gasoline to all motorists in the
IL states on the eastern seaboard
except TO the operators of COM
mercial vehicles. The order went
into effect at noon today.
Filling station operators, all
through the eastern seaboard, in
cities and villages and hamlets,
have been forbidden TO sell gas
oline, after noon today, to the
owners of any automobiles, ex-
cept trucks or any other mechan-
lied vehicles that are used in in
dustry or business.
The order caused what was
characterized as a "scare" from
Maine to Florida, but the scare
was alleviated by the President
at his press conference this morn
ing. He stated the order was put
into effect because of the large
quantities of gasoline that have
been shipped and that shortly will
be shipped to the country's armed
forces in North africa. He added
that the chief purpose for putting
the order into effect was to stop
the use of gasoline for pleasure
during this weekend.
Finally, he said that the order
would remain in effect "onlv for
a day or two" anG that the sale
Of gasoline in the II eastern
states would be resumed on the
same basis of three gallons per
week for private cars as had been
in effect before Henderson's last
