"VICTORIES" TO HIS OWN PERDITION

"THE GERMANS, despite their claims that the Red Army and air force have been annihilated, have already long passed their assigned dates for their entry into Kiev, Leningrad and Moscow," declared M. Lozovsky, Vice-Commissar for Foreign

This Order was found inside a captured tank and it says: "It is obvious that our losses in equip- ment, arms and machines and dev pite i successful advance, have greatly exceeded captured trophies. Continuation of this

situation is intolerable in the king run for we shall go on winning victories to our own perdition.”

M. Lozovsky recalled that this morning (Tuesday) would com- plete the first calendar month of
