the negative when asked if he In

of his arrival and the press con-
ference was held up by military
officials until late today.
Hopkins, who is gathering infor-
nation for Mr.. Roosevelt in con-
nection with the meeting OF the
President Prime Minister Church

would not admit to reporters that
he knew when or where the Big
Three conference would be held.
He predicted, however, that it
would be brief, since Stain was
busy personally directing the Rus
sian offensive.
Hopkins pointed out that no ore
was able to tell how fast OF far

was nothing in his statement, how

100000 GERMANS
BELIEVED CAUGHT BY
SOVIETS IN PRUSSIA

LONDON, Jan. 30. up More
than 100000 German civilians
and soldiers have been trapped or
over-run by Russian armies in
East Prussia, it was estimated to-
day by London sources in touch
with German internal affairs.
These estimates were bolstered
by word from Moscow that virtual
ly the entire rural population and
more than 80 per cent of the urban
jewellers had been swept under or
compressed into the bare quarter
of East Prussia which still remain
ed in German hands.
Population of the area before the
Red Army advance cut off East
Prussia entirely from the rest of
Germany was impossible to esti-
mate accurately, but before the
war 2,250,0O0 people lived there.
Only soldiers and civilians on
the western edge of the province
were able to flee, with the excep-
ton of possibly 10000 others who
were believed to have escaped by
boat, said Lone don German
sources.
Sea approaches to Konigsberg-
capital of the province, which was
red with flames tonight from the
pounding of Russian guns were
reported free of ice, but the num-
Der of escape ships was limited.
Word reaching London through
underground channels was that a
good part of the provincial gov
eminent had been evacuated by
boat. The remaining soldiers had
been ordered to hold out to the
end against Soviet forces pressing
them back against the water ap-
proaches to the bay of Danzig.
