Resistance BATTLE OF LENINGRAD

WAR COMMENTARY BY "ANNALIST"

LONDON, Sept. 14 (Reuter). On the central front which covers Moscow, the invaders have been astonished by the force of Marshal Timoshenko's counter-attucks.

Along the whole vast lengih of the central front, reports. state that the Russians have

here thrown in one of their most formidable "secret_wenpung"----- tonks of up to 64 tons in weight.

Gerinan losses continue to be great but the Germans may still be able to sustain such losses for the time being, provided flat they continue to gain ground, for it was their own worrlor King Frederick the Great who uttered the precept, “To conquer is to advance,"

Towards the south, new dangers threaten. The Nazis are at Cherni- Kov, 10 miles to the rear of Kiev and 80 miles too neur. And the enemy has forced the passage of the Dnieper. In Britain auch facts are not regarded either with complacency or despair but rather a moral is drawn that nothing shall be left undone to strengthen the Russian resistance.
