RED ARMY IN RUSSIA
(By Reuter's Military Commentator)
THE GENERAL OUTLINE OE THE POSITION ON THE RUSSO – GERMAN FRONT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE MATERIALLY ALTER- ED DURING THE LAST FEW DAYS, BUT THAT FACT. ITSELF IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE AND IS HIGHLY FAVOURABLE TO THE RUS- SIANS.
Despite the surprise of the attack, with no declaration of war, despite the throwing of all German tanks and other armoured vehicles, supported by a huge concentration of 'planes, the Germans have not, as yet, succeeded in breaking through the Russian front anywhere along the 1,500 miles of frontier.
In the extreme north, in Finland, and on their southern flank from Chernautsi along the River Pruth to the Black Sea, they are being quite firmly held.

Rival Claims
Of the rival communiques, that of the Russians, being most ex- plicit and definite, gives the im- pression of reliability which is not the case with the German an- nouncements which make few de-
finite statements, but only put forth fantastic claims of captures and vague promises of great suc- cess or successes somewhere.

The psychological and moral effect of this, in addition to the inflicting heavy losses they are on the Germans, may be profound and may enable them to assume the offensive in a big-scale tack. Reuter.
