Russian Front

The disintegration of the German
lines along the Dnieper River began
to assume threatening proportions to
the enemy last Sunday when Red troops
began pouring through gap in the line
inside the bend in the Kremenchug Sec
tor which lies between Kiev and Dnepro-
petrovsk and considerably nearer the
latter
At about the same time another cross
ing of the river occurred in the Gomel
sector north of Kiev at Loev. This
brought to four the number of bridge
heads across the river, two being above
and two below the Ukrainian capital.
The additional breakthroughs put the
Germans at Kiev in danger of en-
circlement, while to the south the crossing
ct Kremenchug could serve as an OPEN
ing either for turn northward toward
Kiev or the upper arm of pincer move
ment aimed at the Germans in the
Dnieper bend and in the Crimea
Russian reports told of the presence
on the various fronts of many divisions
hastily rushed from France, Denmark,
Belgium, the Netherlands and Poland,
but even with the reinforcements the
Nazis were unable to stem the forward
push of the Reds.
BY Tuesday the pressure on Melitopol
had become severe and German troops
withdrawn from the Crimea were thrown
into the contest, but they faced 100000
Reds if German estimates may be con-
sidered accurate.
In one of the bloodiest battles of the
year Red forces captured Pyatikhatka,

hands. Huge explosions in Kiev indi-
Gated that the Germans are destroying
the city prior to abandoning it in an

ment of disengagement, as the Germans
also describe their retreats
The Germans admitted Thursday that
the Reds had made another break
through at a point north of Chernigov,
which is between Kiev and Gomel. Ac-
cording to the German announcement
eight Red rifle divisions and several
hundred tanks poured through the gap
in the German line.
Throwing veterans of the Stalingrad
lighting into battle Friday, the Reds ad-
vanced within l8 miles of Kriyoi Rog,
important iron city in the Dnieper
bend, and definite signs of the disinte-
grafton of the German defenses became
apparent. Many prisoners were taken
and large quantity of equipment was
reported abandoned
Casualties inflicted on the Nazis were
said to be exceptionally high. Two
German armies. the 9th, which was
destroyed at Stalingrad but has since
been Reconstructed and the 18th, which
was on the Kuban Peninsula, are re-
ported in danger of entrapment now.
The 9Th is fighting desperately in the
outskirts of Melitopol while the 18th,
withdrawing to the Crimea from Kuban,
is endeavorlng to escape from the Crimea
and some elements of the army are now
engaged along the north shore of the
Sea of Azov. A quick Russian advance
to the Black Sea behind these two armies
would trap them and the 100000 men
who are now in the threatened area. As
the week ended, Dnepropetrovsk was
completely encircled

The Belgian government in London
served warning that all persons aiding
the Germans in carrying out anti-Jevish
measures will be severely punished after
the war.
The government issued a statement
denounclng German deportation of Bel

German crimes against the Jews of Oc-

All anti-Jewish measures imposed by
Germany in Belgium will be held null

Accident Prevention

The creditable reduction in accidents over
Labor Day is heartening only when it is re-
membered that more workers than usual stuck
on the job and consequently fewer persons
were using the nations highways and picnic
grounds and swimming holes Only when the
accident record is substantially trimmed on
holidays under average travel and outing con-
ditons will there be justification for believing
that safety with a capital S is on the march
This can happen when the three "E's of
accident prevention put into universal
practice. They are education, engineering and
