the case of Taganrog and other
cities, were the first to announce
that Stalino had fallen.
The tremendous German casual
ties were announced in special
Soviet communique broadcast from
Moscow last night. Listed also were
staggering losses in war material,
the Russians reporting they had de-
stroyed 5,729 warplanes, 8,400 tanks
5,192 guns and more than $4,000
trucks. Captured material included
1,041 tanks, 2018 guns, 5,382 ma
chine guns and 1883 trucks
There was no reference in the
Russian recapitulation to their own
losses, which the Germans have as
serted were extremely heavy.
The regular Soviet communique
recorded a steady advance despite
increasing German resistance. espe-
cially in the Donets Basin salient.
1t was In the Stalino operation,
the bulletin announced, that the
swiftly advancing Soviet troops
captured the rail junction of
Ovcherikino, 20 miles northwest of
Stalino, on the main line to
Dnieperopetrovsk, which blocked an
| other escape avenue to the Germans.
More than 80 smaller localities also
were swept into the Soviet bag, the
Russians said
The relentless strength of the Red
Army offensive gave the Nazis no
rest on the other three fronts which
were active yesterday, according to
the Moscow war bulletin. In the
Northern Ukraine, the area south of
kharkov and on the Bryansk sector
continuous gains were recorded, with
more than 200 towns and villages
| captured in advances up to II miles.
The Northern Ukraine armies were
under the command of Gems. Rokos-
sovsky and Vatutin, already cited
for their brilliant strategy bv
Premier Stain. These forces stabbed
westward from captured Konotop to
storm the town of Chestnobudka. an
important junction on the railway
line to Kiev, the Nazis' Dnieper River
key bastion.
Gains of from two-and-one-half
to four miles were reported on the
front south of Kharkov. Here the
railway town of Korkhi, 20 miles be-
low Kharkov. and several other
points were captured.
In the Bryansk sector, the rail
junction of Navlya, 80 miles south
OF Bryansk on the line to Konotop
fell to the Russians, together with
% smaller towns and villages, the
war bulletin said.
Stressing the ferocity of the ac-
ton along the entire front, the
communique counted a total of
5000 German dead in yesterdays
fighting alone.
Chestnobudka, which is five miles
north of Bakhmach, is on the rail-
way leading to Gomel in White Rus
sia, and is barely rs miles from the
famed Pripet Marshes. If the Rus
slams are able to reach this waste
land area before the autumn heavy
rains make further advances i'm
possible. the whole German position
would be In peril, and the entire
Ukraine would be open to the threat
of Russian encirclement. The rains
have already started, Moscow dis
patches said, but so far they have
failed to hinder the Russian Of

Knockout Of Italy
Parallels Surrender
OF Bulgaria in 1918
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Knocking Italy out of the war
parallels the first capitulation
among the central powers-that
of Bulgaria-in the first World
War.
The first Axis power to collapse,
Italy quit almost exactly four years
after the current conflict began
September /, 1889, with the German
invasion of Poland. Italy entered
the present conflict June 10. 1940
Bulgaria, crumpling under bril-
liant offensive carried out by French,
British, Italian, Greek, Serbian
Czechoslovak and Yugoslavic forces,
signed an armistice of unconditional
surrender September %, 1918. That
was four years and two months after
World War I started July %, 1914,
with the Austria Hungary declara-
ton of war against Serbia.
The World War was all over 43
days after Bulgaria surrendered. In
fact, it was only four days later that
Germany, suffering from crushing
blows by Allied armies and strang-
ling economically in the grip of the
British naval blockade, sent to
President Wilson an appeal for an
immediate armistice.
But before the armistice with Ger
many was worked out and signed
November IL. 1918, the two other re-
naming Central Powers, Turkey and
Austro- Hungary. capitulated. Both
gave up on October 30. Factors lead
ing to their surrender were the
rout of the Turks in Syria by the
British forces of Gen. Allenby and
the rolling back of the Austro-
Hungary Army in Northern Italy by
Italian forces reinforced by French
and British troops.

tionally
"On this understanding represent
atives of the Allied commander in
chief were empowered to communi-
cate to them the military conditions
which they would have to fulfill.
"One clause in these military
terms binds the Italian government
to comply with the political, eco
nomic and financial conditions OF
the Allies which will be imposed
later.
Further meetings were arranged
and took place in Sicily.
The armistice was signed at AL
lied advance headquarters there on
September 8, but it was agreed with
