Little Progress In Murmansk Area: Severe Leningrad Battle

INFORMATION REACHING LONDON INDICATES THAT THE GERMAN ATTACK ON THE CRIMEA, WHICH HAS BEEN PROCEEDING THE LAST 24 HOURS, CON- TINUES TO DEVELOP IN THE REGION OF PEREKOP.

Severe fighting continues along the whole front especially round LENINGRAD where the Russians have beaten off attacks from three different directions and the Germans do not appear to make any fresh progress. says British Wireless.

East of LAKE LADOGA, the FINNS claim to reach the RIVER SVIR and thus cut off some power stations which supply LENINGRAD.

THERE IS NO MORE NEWS OF THE FIGHTING IN THE MURMANSK AREA WHERE THE GERMANS ARE NOT REPORTED TO BE MAKING PROGRESS.

The German thrust in the Crimea began at midnight on Wednesday when follow- intensive bombardment, a strong wave of German units supported by tanks

POST-WAR SETTLEMENT FACTORS DISCUSSED BY WICKHAM STEED: EVACUATION OF KIEV REGRETTED

"As I read the situation today its motto is and must be LET THE DEAD PAST BURY ITS DEAD: WORK AND FIGHT AND GIVE IN THE PRESENT AND FOR THE FUTURE,'" said MR. H. WICKHAM STEED, the world famous journalist and authority on international affairs, when he broadcast from LONDON yesterday and discussed some of the factors of a post-war settlement.

Mr. Steed sald that in the ordinary consideration of time one was apt to look at the past, the present and the future. One curious feature which struck him now about the notion of time was that the past seems to have dropped out of it and the present and the future was all that people talked about.
