HEAVY GERMAN LOSSES IN THE

UKRAINE

(Reuter

MOSCOW, Aug. 24 Heavy Germati losses in men, tanks and other material were re- lated in a supplement to the So- vlet communique lasued on Friday morning

These processions move on silently. They consist mainly of old men, women and children. They come from villages not far! from the Estonian border and de- cided to move eastwards when they heard how the Germans com- mitted crimes and outrages on entering Kolkhoz, named "in me mory of Lenin."

Refugees from one village, de- signated by the initial "B," recount that when they heard such tales, it was decided to shift the women and children but before they left they saw that nothing was left for the Germans, not a plece of bread, not a glass of water.
