ask Chekhov how a certain scene
should he done he would reply
that II was their Job 10 find out

the virile battery commander with
whom Masha falls in love. while
Tom Powers is excellent as the

RED TROOPS HOLD FIR M
 AT KHARk0v
German Counter aifalks Held Off : Russians
 Stage New Blows

MOSCOW, Aug. 18.-The German command today mounted powerful counter attacks with troops, tanks and planes at two points on the Kharkov front, but Russian lines held firm, battlefront dispatches reported.
 Seeking an opening with the counter r-offensive, Germans struck at a settlement west of Kharkov, but were held by the Red Army along the water line where Rus sians maintained a bridgehead on the west bank, the dispatches said.
 The fourth battle of Kharkov, which was taken once by the Red Army and twice by the Germans, became a tug of war for the in- itiatiye.
 Two other Russian drives at Bryansk Pass and in the Demensk sectors in the north also met tougher going, the German broad casts declared.
 The Soyiets are attacking all along the winding battlefront, staging new attacks in the Isyum area in the Donets Basin, southeast of Kharkov and local assaults near Staraya Rusa and in the Neva sector near Leningrad on the northern front
 Russian attacks near Isyum were broken after heavy fighting, Ber- lin said.

 One reporter asked whether rela- tions between the United States and Russia are involved in the Canadian discussions, and Hull said he has not been advised as to particulars of the conference.
 Hull, in reply to another ques- tion, said no word has yet been received from the Italian Govern ment relative to declaration of Rome as an open city, as far as he knew
 Secretary Hull also said that the Quebec conference, which has en- tered the second week, indicates it is being handled and designed de- liberately to intensity the Axis nery- ousness over major military devel- opments.
