STOCKHOLM REPEATS LENINGRAD ADVANCE BY GEN. VON LEEB

AN UNCONFIRMED REPORT THAT THE ARMY OF MARSHAL RITTER VON LEEB HAS CONTACTED THE SOVIET · DEFENCE LINES BETWEEN 10 AND 12 MILES WEST AND SOUTH OF LENIN- GRAD, WAS TELEGRAPHED AGAIN YESTERDAY BY THE CORRES- PONDENT OF THE STOCKHOLM “SVENSKA DAGBLADET."

These defences are stated to consist of a

series of forts remaining from the Civil War Ridicule

of 1919 which have been supplemented and strengthened.

These forts, the correspondent continues, are regarded as serious obstacles by the Ger- mans calling for strong air attacks if they are to be overcome.

Crediting the Germans with a wish to spare Leningrad the horrors of war the currespondent mentions that there are no re- ports of dive-bombing attacks on the city itself.

It Is understood, however, that when the weather permits the Germans are making an attack on the Leningrad de- fence line and the great naval base at Kronstadt protecting

the city.

The Russians are reported to be carrying out extensive coun- ter-attacks in the central sector

of the vast battlefront.

These counter-attacks, it is slated, are proceeding along a line running south from Viazma (half way between Smolensk and Moscow) but the claim is made in Berlin that they are not checking the German encircling movement based on Gomel and designed eventually to shut in

Kiev.

Scanty Reports

Beyond claims about the estab- lishment of bridgeheads on the lower Dnieper, reports reachingi Berlin about the situation in the Ukraine are scanty.

It is suggested, however, that there will very soon be news of the launching of a big Ger- man offensive towards the Im- portant Donetz Industrial re- glon which is considered more Important than Klev and Leningrad.

Besides claiming to have reached the former Soviet- Finnish frontier at all points on the Karelian Isthmus, Helsinki telegrams report an intensifica- tion of the drive towards the

Murmansk-Leningrad railway in the northern part of the front,

Finnish Claim

This drive seems to be based

on three sectors in the "waist of Finland" where the railway runs nearest to the Finnish frontler.

Asked by Reuter whether other German attempts have been made to

He added the Germans on the still distant approaches to Lenin- grad were unable to advance and large to rush up were obliged reinforcements in order to main- tain their positions.-Reuter.
