GREATEST BATTLE IN WORLD'S HISTORY BEING FOUGHT SHIPPING
(By Reuter's Military Correspondent) LATEST NEWS FROM THE RUSSO-GER- MAN FRONT IS FAVOURABLE TO THE RUS- SIANS, THOUGH THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE BATTLE HAS YET BEEN WON.
This is, perhaps, the most decisive battle in the world's history and it is the greatest in breadth of front, the numbers engaged and the weight of equipment employed.
The fate of Russia is not the only ques- [tion now being decided, but the fate of every Ination in the world, not excepting those on
the American continent.
Hitler seeks word domination, with all peoples the slaves of the 80,000,000 Germans. Every 'plane, gun. modern device and every man which can be concentrated to ensure rapidity and destruction is being thrown into the struggle energetically and ruthlessly by the Nazi General Staff.
Fortunately. for the Russians and for the Allies, Russian mili- tary doctrine is also based upon total war.

Looking at the battlefront more detail, and starting from the north, It seems that the Germans have captured neither Murmansk nor the railway to the soutli though they claimed to have done so several days ago, The attack further south, on the Karelian Isthmus has not advanced at all, and does not seem to be heavily pressed.
