FIGHTING OF THE SITUATION IN THE GERMAN RUSSIAN A SURVEY

FIGHTING ROUND SHOWS, ACCORDING TO AUTHORITATIVE CIRCLES, THAT LENINGRAD CONTINUES VERY SEVERE AND THE GERMANS HAVE SUSTAINED VERY HEAVY CASUALTIES.

FURTHER SOUTH AT ELNYA, THE RUSSIANS HAVE MADE A SUCCESSFUL COUNTER-ATTACK WITH A SUBSTANTIAL GAIN OF GROUND. IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER THE COUNTER-ATTACK IS STILL CONTINUING, BUT IT IS UNDOUBTED PROOF OF THE POWER OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY TO HIT BACK AT THE GER- MANS, SAYS BRITISH WIRELESS.

There is also news of a counter-attack in the Gomel sector, probably on a smal- ler scale, which has met with some success. The scale is such that unless it is con- tinued, it cannot be expected to hold up further German movement in this direction. THERE ARE NO FURTHER DETAILS OF ACTIVITY IN THE DNIEPER BEND. FIGHTING CONTINUES AND ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE GERMANS TO CROSS THE RIVER AT DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT NO INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE ATTAINED THEIR OBJECT.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (Reuter)-It is reliably reported from informed sources that PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in his speech on Thursday, will demand that Germany. give a strict accounting for American lives and American losses due to Nazi operations. THESE SOURCES PLACED AMERICAN SHIP LOSSES AT FIVE WITH AT LEAST 66 UNITED STATES CITIZENS MEETING DEATH.

It is learned that Mr. Roosevelt is still working on his address.

No information is available here concerning any action Mr. Roosevelt may an- nounce to enforce respect for American rights on the high seas, but there is little doubt that the President will make clear that the United States hold uncompromis- ingly to the doctrine of freedom of the seas.

MR. SOL BLOOM, Chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “THE NEUTRALITY ACT WHICH HAS TIED OUR HANDS IN AID- ING ENGLAND SHOULD BE REPEALED.”
