Opening day for the new annex

items have already been placed
with the approval of the FWA re,

planned, they may arrive any day.
The firm which supplies these
items has branches in many parts

from the nearest unit where they
are available.

for the new wing of the building
has been received
The new wing, which has been

Meanwhile, the hospital is load

Mangum said the heavy census

20 miles north Of Vitebsk up the

Russia offensive in that sector
has ripped open gap nearly 100
miles wide at the base of the
Newell bulge. 1t reaches from just
above Vitebsk to north of the

today, said he had mo apology
for the failure TO reach Morgen-

tional revenue.
Further. he defended the pro-
posed freeze of Social Security tax
rate at l per cent each On en-
ployers and employees throughout
1914, saying there is no justifica.
ton for increasing the rates al
this time.
Morgenthau told a press confer.

posed by the Senate committee

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Associated Press War Analyst

Early Nazi evacuation of the
critical Vitebsk anchorage of the
German line in Russia north OF
the Dnieper river, or even the
beginning of a German retreat
from all northwest Russia, seems
foreshadowed in Moscow war bull
letins.
They report Russian troops, ST.
berlan units which are specialists
in winter fighting, 20 miles or less
from the Vitebsk-Polotsk railway
west OF Vitebsk, and even closer
on the eastern flank to the Vitebsk-
Orsha escape route. A step or two
forward from either direction would
bring Russian guns to bear and
threaten entrapment of the Vitebsk
garrison.
Short OF throwing in heavy re-
serves that obviously cannot be
spared from no less threatened
points to the south, there seems
little chance that a new German
retreat On a wide front in upper
White Russia can be averted.
