DNIEPRO-PETROVSK FALLS Midnight Moscow
Moscow Statement Crossing Of River #ONIEPER Dnieper Not Borne Out By Facts
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE RUSSIAN COMMUNIQUES TO CONFIRM THE CLAIMS OF THE GERMAN HIGH COMMAND TO HAVE CAPTURED VILIKI LUGI AND DNIEPRO-PETROYSK, SAYS “ANNALIST” WRITING IN LONDON YESTERDAY ON THE CAMPAIGN ON THE EASTERN FRONT.
On the contrary the Russians speak of heavy fighting in the sectors of Kingisepp, FIGHT ON Gomel, Smolensk and Odessa, which would
suggest that there has been no important
variation in the front.
The Hungarian claim to have crossed the lower reaches of the Dnieper is not borne out by the Russian communique and hardly seems consistent with the general scope of the Hungarian operations.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE PASSED ITS PEAK WITHOUT officers
Although German spokesmen making a virtue of necessity, have said that it is more important that they should destroy the Rus- sian armies than capture towns, the question of price must be the determining factor, and So- viet Russia has certainly bigger reserves of manpower than Ger- many.
