THE CHINA MAIL, AUGUST 14, 1941:

NO MATERIAL CHANGE ON RUSSIA'S BATTLE FRONT

PREMIER'S

NO MATERIAL CHANGE has taken MIND "AJAR” place in Russia's far-flung battle front, but the situation in the Ukraine has admittedly deteriorated in Southern Ukraine, writes "Annalist.”

On all other sectors the grim struggle is continuing without any marked advantage for either side.

The only other progress claim- ed by Germany is north of Lake Pelpus where unconfirmed re- ports allege that they have reach- ed the Baltic Sea, thus cutting off communications with Tallinn.

I true, this would mean that an important pocket of resistance was in being on their jeft flank, and would constitute a threat to their communications.

SURPRISE

FOR MINER

A mining foki, Chan Yan, who went to a police station to make a complaint later found himself charged with assault, it was dis- closed before Mr. D. J. N. Ander- son at Kowloon this morning.
