RUSSIANS AIM TO
 AlNNIHILATE NAZIS
Reds Bent on Cutting Off Entire German Army
 in Caucasus
(Reg. U. S. Patent Ofiice)
 By LOUIS F. KEEMLE
Limited Press War Analystl

(Un1Veu kFeSS war An8AySGl
 The Russians by a series of we'll planned offensiveS at key points along an 1,100-mile front from northwest of Moscow to the Cauca- sus, are forcing Hitler's armies into an extremely awkward and danger ous military position.
 The impressive feature of the Russian offensive is the timing of the blows and the spread between the points of attack, which has pre- vented the Germans from concen- trating fully on any one of several threatened sectors.
 The drive northwest of Moscow, carrying the Russians past Velikie Luki toward the Latvian border, aapparently is diversional. It has pinned down forces which Hitler might have diverted to meet the real danger in the south.
 It Is there that the Russians real ly mean business. Their object is to cut of the entire German army in the Caucasus and annihilate it.
 To accomplish this, they are driv- ing from three Interchangeable wards towards Rostov across the DonetS below Millerovo; westward from the region of Elista, and northwestward from Mozdok along the railroad leading to Rostov.
 In another operation they have joined forces in drive from the north and south in front of Stalin- grad. cutting oil an estimated l50,- 900 to 100000 Axis forces which are in a desperate supply situation and in danger of being wiped out. If the Russians crash through to Rostov. the German army in the Caucasus would be deprived of sup- ply and endorsements. It is not too late for nasty withdrawal from the Caucasus. but Hitler is reported to be bringing in heavy achievements in an effort to hold on.
 Unless Hitler is to abandon his gains in the western Caucasus and the Donets Basin and withdraw to shorter and more compact lines to- ward the Dnieper. 1t is becoming apparent that he will have to draw on his dwindiing strategic reserves to stem the Russian tide.
 To do SO would be extremely dan- gerous because of the threat to his European stronghold from Africa and from Britain into western Eu- rope.
 Once Hitler's reserves are used up, lt VIII be impossible to replace them. The Russians have kept him too busy to withdraw any troops to bol- ster 0eTnany's dwindling man. power by working in factories.
 Between them, Russia and the BTitish.A American Allies thus have Hitler in Q bad predicament. He scarcely. can afford to sacrifice either his position in Russia or ln the Mediterranean area. but it is q question whether he has enough ye- sources to hold both.
 While the Russians are pTesslng hlIm hard in the east. the Allies are preparing with naethodical enleula- ton for the showdown in Tlinlsla. Their adjective Is to reopen the Mediterranean and regain a shorter highway 70 southern Europe, the Middle East and Russia. Whatever happens. one og their paramount aims ig to keep the niarninecntly fighting Russians im the wng.
