MOSCOW, Sept. 1 (Reuter).--An S. S. division and one Finnish brigade were thrown against one Soviet regiment in the "N" sector of the western front, says Moscow's supplementary communique to-day.

"Our Red Army men defended themselves courageously, attacking the enemy on all sides. Soon another unit joined our regiment, strengthening the resistance of the Soviet troops. Despairing of breaking our defences by counter-attacks, the Germans decided to try and encircle our unit.

Tripoli Harbour is Again Devastated by the R.A.F.

LONDON, Sept. 1 (Reuter).-Heavy bombers of the R.A.F. again raided Tripoli harbour on Sunday night, dropping large quantities of bombs upon the Spanish Quay and upon ships unloading in the port, according to an Air Ministry communique.

"Large fires broke out and columas of smoke rose into the air. One ship at the quay- side was hit and set on fire and large fires were still burning from the heavy attack on the previous night. Even older fires were still smouldering," says the communique.
