"Yes, Sir. Of course, Sir."

One Of Deadliest Battles in History

(By Reuter's Resident Correspondent in Moscow).

*

DAY AND NIGHT ARTILLERY DUELS HAVE TURNED THE BATTLEFIELD OUTSIDE LENINGRAD INTO AN INFERNO. THE RUSSIANS AND GERMANS ARE HURLING IMMENSE QUANTITIES OF STEEL AND HIGH EXPLOSIVES AT EACH OTHER'S FORCES MASSED AT THE APPROACHES OF THE CITY.

Units of the Soviet Civil Guard have for three weeks been fighting shoulder to shoul- der with their comrades in the Red Army in what must be one of the deadliest battles in the world's history.

How Civil Guards holding a sub-sector of the front drove the Germans back at bayonet point was told yesterday in a despatch to the newspaper, "Pravda."

The Germans had advanced to the river "T" and occupied several hamlets. The Civil Guards' or- ders were to dislodge them.
