By The Associated Press
LONDON, July 14 Marshal Josef Stalin in two orders of the day announced tonight the
capture of the city of Pinsk in the Prlpyst marshes and the railroad Junction of Wolkowysk, 2
miles directly east of Blalystok. .
The fall of Pinsk, the Germans' last stronghold in the Prlpyat marshes, advanced the Russians
directly on the road to Warsaw and Brest Litvosk, e point on the Curson line which the Russians
have proposed as the postwar frontier of Poland. Warsaw is 200 miles west of Pinsk and Brest
Lltovsk Is 100 miles west.
Pinsk had been caught in a wide circle of pressing Russian armies which had advanced . to
within five miles of the town before the Germans in their communique early today announced
their withdrawal from the swamp-buttressed stronghold. ' ,
Wolkowysk is 90 miles northwest of Pinsk and its capture advanced the Russians more than
half way from Baranowlcse to Blalystok,; one of the strongpoints in the German system for de
fense of their western Polish conquests and East Prussia.
Pinsk, Stalin said, fell to a combined assault of troops and a Dnepr river flotilla, following
the crossing of the Yeselda and Pripyat rivers.
Stalin ordered 20 salvos irom
224 guns to celebrate the vic
tory, which advanced soviet
forccstto within 200 miles di
rectly east of Warsaw and 100
miles from Brest Lltovsk.
Northern Advance

radio, said, , the Russians were
