Special to the "Telegraph"

"United Press" reports from the enemy capital continue to affirm resounding succossos in the southwestern drive to the Black Sea where Nikolaiev has fallen to their arms as the Soviets have admitted. The Germans do not claim any sensational advances in other sectors and indeed, in the north where the Red Army has given the Finnish-German combination a severe testing, they admit to difficulties in their terrain which has been heavily mined. Berlin says the Russians are counter-attacking at numerous points on the Finnish front.

Returning to the southern sector the Berlin comm unique says that Odessa has been isolated by German- Hungarian forces who are pressing on over the flat lands between the Dnciper and the Bug rivers to trap the Red Armies in this area.
