GUARD, EUGINE, OREGON Hitler's Forces Still In Retreat On Wide Front (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) cow the drive which Hitler pro claimed would be "the last great, decisive battle" of 1941. In London, Soviet quarters de clared that the fall of Mozhaisk would signal a "titantic continua tion of the battle" and that the Russian army now had hundreds oi thousands or. completely iresn reserves ready to hurl Into a giant offensive along the entire 1200 mile front. Losses Said Huge Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said the Germans suffered enormous losses in an attempt to obey Hitler's order to hold Mozha isk at all costs. Tass said Red army troops, storming into the city after smash ing earth-and-timber forte 50 to 100 yards apart, found a scene of chaotic destruction and carnage. "The whole defense belt was dug with huge craters and littered with Hprman hnriioc . Znriat foot soldiers moved relentlessly toward the center of the town, driving out or killing automatic riflemen in their hideouts . . . The dead piled up in cellars, attics and stairways and spilled through doorways ..." Even before the capture of Mozhaisk, wounded and frost bitten German troops were report ed to have been moving to the rear at a rate of five to six train- loads daily. Hitler's high command empha sized the bitter fighting in the Donets river basin, reporting that the Russians lost 1100 killed in one battle, and asserted that a total of 10,605 Soviet prisoners had now been captured at Feodos iya, in the Crimea. " Torn by explosives and scarred by fire, Mozhaisk was taken by Red army troops under Lieut Gen. Leonid Govorov. Tanks Coming' Note Of Cheer Offered By FDR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) ARTHUR D.
