them. We're glad to have them
make this light for u.s.
We slept that night in a medi-
cal dressing station, heated tent
with straw spread on the floor and
iron cots ranged along the walls,
while the artillery sang its deep,
hoarse lullaby. In the morning, we
found pouring rain had reduced
the dirt road to a terrible bog of
oozing black mud. We set out,
nevertheless, for Yelnia, greatest
objective yet taken by the Red
army and final objective of our
trip, seventy-five miles from our
tent. Through water-filled bomb
and shell craters, under drenched
pine trees, and across soggy fields,
we slogged all the day. We slept
that night in a pine forest outside
Dorogobuzh and drove on the next
day to Yelnia.
On the battlefield, we traced the
first major Russian victory OF the
war, a victory which elected the
Germans, for the first time on any
front, from any considerable
amount of territory. A brigade
commissar, who had taken part IN
the action explained it to us.
Here, the Germans own tactics
of encirclement and determination
had been turned against the Nazis
for the first time, tactics which
they were to face again in the
battles of Moscow and Stalingrad.
The graveyard of Yelnia itself,
which the Germans fired before
they left, was lined with the skel-
etons of burned houses, standing
like lonely sentinels along the raw
aged streets. Around the city the
fields were torn by tank treads,
slashed by anti-tank bitches, and
strewn with shattered Gotta ges.
The devastation was far greater
than anything had seen after the
war in the west. There, after the
fall of Paris, I found the battle
had passed swiftly and lightly over
most places, punching only a few
holes in a village here, wreckins
a crossroads there. Around Yelnla
all was consumed in frightful
all-devastating struggle between
two giants, fighting savagely tt
the death.
From Yelnia we turned bacl
through Wanna to Moscow. Th'
first stories were written unde:
the dateline, With the Red Army.
And two weeks later, after po
litical intermission for the three
power supply conference, tn
greatest battle of the year, thu
battle of Moscow, began along tha
same front.

of President Rooseve1t's adnira-
ton Of the fight Russia was put
tnig up against. Germany, and of
the United States intention to aid
Russia with both immediate and
long-term delivery Of supplies.
He received from Stain an ex-
ipression of thanks and, an assur-
ance that Americas confidence
would not be misplaced. They
discussed in detail the arms, mu
nitions, and materials which
America could provide.
The next day he saw Stalir

mediately afterward he saw Us
