GERMANS IN
 GREATEST ROUT SINCE 1916

Moscow, November 4 4- (UP) - Saber-swinging Cos sack horsemen brought the Dnieper estuary within their grasp and sent the greatest rout of a German army since 1916 into it's final stages to- day with the slaughter of thousands of fleeing sur vivors of the Reich's once crack grenadiers in the west ern Nogaisk steppes.
 CThe German News Agency DNB said the Russians launched strong offensive north of Kiev yesterday after heavy artillery preparation and bombing raids. The Soviets struck south toward Kiev and west toward the Polish border against strong German resistance, the agen- cy said. DNB also acknowledged that the Russians had established a new bridgehead north of Kerch at the eastern end of the Crimea)
 Plunge Into River
 Hordes of Germans plunged into the swift-running Dnieper in Q frantic effort to escape the hard riding Cossacks, only to be cut down by Russian machine-gunners and low-flying Soviet aircraft. Front dispatches said the river was filled with German corpses.
 The whole western trip of the Mo- gaisk steppes, from the Black Sea to the great sand wastelands below the Dnieper, had become a verti- able graveyard of smashed and abandoned tanks, siX-barreled mor- tars and armored cars.
 Not since Gen. AleM Bausilor's destruction of an Australian army in 1916 has there been rout to compare with the smashing of Ger man Marshal Erich Won Manstein's army of the Nogaisk steppes.
 Seeds Of Terror

United Press Staff Correspondent London, Nov. 4-(UP)-The Cos sacks give no quarter.
 The Germans fleeing in terror across the steppes are discovering this today, just as Napoleon's grand army--s --slashed to ribbons during the retreat from Moscow.
