GERMAN ARMY CHANGING ITS TACTICS

(By Reuter's Special Correspondent in Moscow)

WITH WEATHER CONDITIONS DETERIO- RATING, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH AND CENTRE FRONTS, THE GERMANS ARE CLEARLY DETERMINED TO ACHIEVE, › IF NOT A DECISIVE, AT ANY RATE A CRIPPL- ING BLOW TO THE RUSSIAN ARMY, OR AT LEAST TO RUSSIAN · INDUSTRIAL POWER WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH.

Can they succeed? The last few weeks have shown that the Germans discovered the Red Army a much tougher proposition than they expected, and it may generally be said that the Russian army's fighting power is not substantially impaired.

According to Russian figures, German casualties amount to two millions which is only a little under what the German them- selves admit when saying their

losses are only one-third of Rus- sia's "Ave million casualties " The latter figure is clearly, absurd.

Faced with the Russian army's toughness and

IRISHMAN

TO BE SHOT

A military court in Dublin sentenced to death by shooting an Irishman, Richard Goss, 26, for shoot- ing at the police. Goss admitted he was a training officer of an illegal organi- sation.

The execution was within 48 hours.

SERIOUS GERMAN

LABOUR SHORTAGE

FRESH EVIDENCE of the German labour shortage is revealed by a report that German workmen have been obliged to exchange tools for rifles, and the Jewish population of War- SOW will be found suitable work in German industry under supervision.

which the coal and pig iron in-

dustry, east of the Dnieper, will be partly slowed down.

It is true that there are other: iron ore deposits as alternatives to those at Krivotrog and also electro-power alternatives to the Dneiper hydro-electric plant, but the Red Army's industrial sources are still great so long as the

central Russian industrial area is not affected.

It is probable that every con ceivable effort will be made by the Russiang to safeguard these areas in which the Germans are clearly interested, judgingį from their recent thrust at Gomel.

A recent decree also shows that the Germans have been obliged to recruit tubercular patients,

and have relaxed the measures against the spread of infectious diseases in factories.

Faced with the mounting threat of American war production and deliveries, Germany, áccording to the Reich Labour Commissioner, has become the world's biggest 1abour market and is endeavour- ing in every way to solve ' the question of labour shortage.”.

The following figures show how Germany is tackling the problem.
