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.

ing themselves out of a most en
joyable evening if they miss going
some night this week.
No less entertaining than the
show itself are the between-the-act
(five acts including 15 scenes
count 'em) numbers. Three of
them, "The Man Who Broke the
Bank at Monte Carlo," "High Born
Lady,'' and "Don't Wear Your
iiean on Your Sleeve" are new
and worth four-bits even if you
have seen the rest of the show
before. .
But as to the show Itself there's
no equal. Just imagine the suffer
ing an innocent wife goes through
when her man (whom she still
loves, thank Providence) falls in
the gutter! Think of the torture a
mortgage can cause a poverty
stricken family! Envision the faith
that can conquer all evil even
rum (still it was brandy)! Grasp
in your imagination the greatness
of a hero who refuses to forsake
his friend even though he has
fallen Into evil ways!
Yes, the show has everything.

job of drilling. An occasional
"buck private" strays to the left

the most part the three platoons
seem capable of marching circles
around many male groups.

About half of the outfit Is uni

shirt arrangement, which sets back
