LONDON, June 20. Yugoslav
guerrilla forces in Herzegovina and
Montenegro have absorbed a 40-day
German offensive and have launched
counterattack in which the Ger
mans have been thrown back, Yugo-
slav government-in-exile sources
said today.
Yugoslav patriots have cut the
Sarajevo-Uzhitz Railway between
Stmbolcic and the bridge over the
Drina River and forced the Germans
to retire, both in Herzegovina and
Eastern Bosnia, informants said.
The Yugoslavs acknowledged the
loss Of 1000 killed and wounded
and described a German claim of
having inflicted 10000 casualties as
highly inaccurate" The German
losses were said to have exceeded
those OF the guerrillas.

within a few seconds the blue

seaward and splashed kerplunk into

with hell for a full half hour.
The ferries sped toward the Forts
with daredevilish speed and banked
away only split seconds from the

times that the Fortress crews could
see the folded undercarriages and
actually hear the enemy guns spit.
Enemy Dives Head-On.
