The fall OF Kharkov ranks with
the capture OF Orel as the greatest
Victory OF che Russian summer Of

Germans 1000. 900 men in dead and
wounded and enormous amounts OF
tanks, planes and guns.
Won Then Lost
The Red Army captured Kharkov
last February l6 after 300-mile
march from Stalingrad, but lost 1t
to German counter-offensive a
month later.
London military observers be-
lieved the Germans now would fall
back steadily behind stubborn rear
guard resistance while massing re-
serves along the Dnieper in the
hopes OF launching another power
full counter offensive.
The Russians probably will ad-
vance as far as Poltava, 30 miles
southwest OF Kharkov. with but lit
tie difficulty, then encountered stead
lily -stiffening resistance as they near
the Dnieper river line.
Occupation of Kharkov will give
the Russians control OF an import
ant hub OF communications that
will facilitate the movement OF
troops and supplies along the whole
length OF the southern front.
Forced BY Flank Drives
The German withdrawal was
forced by thanking drives that cut
all but one of six railroads radiat-
ing from Kharkov and narrowed
their escape corridor to the SOUTH
west to Is miles.
The next Russian move may be to
swing strength to the Soviet bridge
head south OF Izyum. TO miles
southeast OF Kharkov, for new
drive to Loxovaya, As miles TO the
west, whose capture probably would
compel the Germans to quit the re-
of the Donets Basin be-
cause of the danger TO their flank.
A Soviet success In this sector
probably also would result In Ger

Schools desiring to be included
in the program should call or write

cluded in the schedules.
Among those from which paper is
to be collected tomorrow are Garri-
son. which last year finished second
among all schools in the city, and

Garrison was able through funds
realized from the drive and sale of
paper last year to buy a second NOV
ing picture protector for the school
and to send eight children in poor
health away to camp for the sum-
mer. All of the schools have similar
activities which are financed by the
sale OF paper through The Star

equipment or providing for lunch
and milk for children who may
need that help.

Program Of x-Rays
To Open Thursday
Alexandria Offers
Tests to individuals

sored by the Alexandria Tubercu-
losis Association and the city De-
partment of Health. will take place

examined.
Friday and Saturday the machine
will be in the auditorium of the

ing from $50 am. to 7 pm. for
any one who wishes to be examined.
