The real explanation for the Nazi delay was provided in an order signed by Major-General Nehring, command- ing the 18th German tank division, Lozovsky added. This order found inside a captured tank, says, "It is obvious that our losses in equipment, arms and machines have been unusually great and despite a successful advance they greatly exceed the captured trophies.. Continuation of this situation is intolerable in the long run for we shall-go-on-winning-victories-to-our-own perdition."
M. Lozovsky recalled that to morrow morning marked the first calendar month of the Ger man "blitzkrieg" against Russia. months and we can discuss the results of the first month in one of our press conferences."

The binck-out as viewed from the ground appeared effective and the majority of the population seem to have made a real attempt to black-out their premises to the best of their ability, but far too many lights were visible from the air, and from that point of view the result was far from satisfactory, states the Deputy Director of A.R.P.
Shipping in the harbour was very bad in deed, and it appear. ed that there were a great many more lights on board ships than were really necessary for load. ing and unloading purposes,

SHANGHAI, July 22 (UP),-- The Shanghai "Nichi Nichi" in an editorial entitled "Britain and America aim at strengthen- ing Chungking-Communist col- laboration" warned Japan to watch carefully the development of American, Soviet and British attempts to bring the Chinese Reds into line.
