The attack represented a conti-

order to prevent the Germans from
concentrating their defenses in the
Berlin area, which still is the No.

resignation to King Christian Sum-

for a passenger-less ferry line, but

the battlefront at the moment.
ITO Judge by the latest news from
Russia, Stain certainly Is not vast

the long string of Soviet victory an

Nevertheless, Churchill said, he

Meanwhile, it seems necessary
and urgent, he continued, that
conference of Russian, British and
American foreign ministers be held
to carry on Allied discussions.
Russia will be included in pollti-
cal discussions that will arise out
of the Allied victories, Churchill
said, and I'VE should consult with
our Russian friends and Allies on
all questions with candor.'
Hinting at Allied plans for a

Referring to two years of talk
about a second front in northern
France, Churchill said that ANY
one can see how desirable that
would be" and it was natural that
Russia, bearing great weight of
the war, should want such a front.
DOESN'T BLAME THEM
Il don't blame them at all for
what they say" he continued.
Nothing they could say in honest
criticism would be taken amiss by
u.s."
The front will be opened, he said,
when the prospect of continuing
success is good and sound military
plans dictate such action-and not
because of political considerations
of any kind.
AS for himself, he has always
thought of a third front" instead
Of a second front, he said. He re-
garded the African campaign as
quite a good thing" clearing the
continent.
BY far the greater part OF the
German air force has been drawn
off the Russian front, he said.
More than all this" he went on,
we have established the strategic
initiative"
Turning to the air war against
Germany, Churchill promised that
it will increase in intensity and

advance of some % miles from the

defenSes to the southwest of Mos

Stains order revealed that the
29th guards regiment, the 26th tank
brigade, the 10th infantry division,
the 23rd guards independent tank
brigade, and the 10th independent
tank regiment which distinguished
themselves in the fighting, had
been named the "Yelnya units"
The victory was announced "a

Stains second order of the day
said Russian forces had smashed
through the strongly fortified de-
fense line of the enemy in the
Sevsk area and the impetus of the
offensive captured on Aug. 80 the
towns of Glukhov and Rilsk and
penetrated into the northern Uk-
raine"
HEAR GUNS
The roar of Moscow's defense guns
celebrating the victory COULD be
heard in the background of the
radio broadcast.
The break-through into tn e
northern Ukraine virtually sealed
the fate of the German garrison at
Bryansk and placed Smolensk,
which once had been Adolf Hitler's
general headquarters, in the most
precarious position since it was
seized by the Nazis.
The break through also moved
the Soviet armies within field gun
range of the vital railroad trunk
line between Knotop and Kiev.
Capture of Yelnya, which the
Germans once had hailed as the
stepping stone to Moscow, knocked
out the last strongly fortified Nazi
base on the road to Smolensk, and
also gave the Russians the oppor-
tInity of wheeling down the Desne
river, and further disrupt German
communications.
Stains first order said the
Soviets had broken through
strongly fortified Axis line yester-
day to take Yelnya, which he de-
scribed as "the most important CEN
ter of defense in the Smolensk di-
rectiOn,"

The Army Is nearing 100000. The
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
, Guard combined have more than
100000 men.
U. S. Fleet Largest
The U. S. Fleet is the largest In
the world Two years ago the bulk
of the battle force had geen knock
ed out at Pearl Harbor Today the
number of battleships in the fleet
exceeds by at least four the pre-
Pearl Harbor total. It's aircraft
carrier strength has more than
tripled despite losses.
Three years ago when the de-
Tense program began, the Navy had
fleet of 1O76 vessels, including
1888 battleships, carriers, cruisers,
destroyers and submarines. Now
the number is closer to $1,000 ships.
And despite its war losses, the Navy
has more than 600 Warships. The
Navy air arm, which numbered only
liza planes on July l, 1910, now
has at least 10000 planes.
On December 7 last year, Amer
lean interest in the war centered on
the battle for Guadalcanal. Re
peated japanese attempts to drive
the Americans off had been beaten
back. A powerful Japanese naval
force had been smashed in battle
royal near the island with naval
forces under Admiral William F.
Halsey's command.
The Japanese continued attempts
to reinforce their Guadalcanal
| army through December but by
January U. S. Army troops and Ma
rines had grabbed the initia tive.
Conquest of the island was COM
pleted on February g.
Shortly before that General Doug
las MacArthurs forces had won the
battle of Buna on New Guinea and
ended the japanese threat to Port
Moresby.
Begin Pushing Japs Back
Then began the difficult task of
pushing the Japs out of their north
ernmost and southern anchors of
their vast Pacific defense line
American troops occupied the Rus
sell Islands, just northwest of Qua
ralcanal to provide an advance
base for the later drive into the
Central Solomons About the same
time, other troops seized Funafuti,
as island in the Ellice group, which
provided an air base for attacks on

North Pacific. American troops &C.
cupied Amchitka island only 70
miles from the enemy base on
Kiska.
In February came the historic
Casablanca conference between
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill and their naval
and military leaders. Plans were
J perfected there for further often
sive action against the Axis. The
conquest of Sicily and the invasion
of Italy undoubtedly were among
the fruits of this meeting.
Things were pretty dull in the
Pacific in the early months of this
year. The Australians were still
worried about japanese threat to
their commonwealth. And with
good cause, because the Japanese
began pouring men and material
into the South Pacific. But this
threat ended in a stunning disaster
for the enemy. Allied airmen under
command of Lieutenant Genera,
George G. Kenney caught jap
anese convoy in the Bismarck Sea
and sank % warships and cargo
vessels and killed an estimated 49,
900 Japs.
