MOSCOW, Sept. 21 (Reuter)—For several days the

German forces before Leningrad have been unable to ad

Powerful artillery fire has driven the Nazis back to hastily-dug trenches and dug-outs. Bold counter - attacks frustrated German preparations to advance and at many points forced the enemy to retire.

The Germans are hurling dozens of planes into their attacks on the Soviet lines but the Red Army men Bre staunchly holding their positions.

STRIKE AT TURKEY:

BRITISH FORCE READY

Special to the “Telegraph”

LONDON, Sept. 21 (UP), — Diplomatic observers here expressed the opinion that Bul-

garia's "state of emergency" is designed to impose

a strict control of internal conditions, possibly

preparatory to an attack against Turkey which,

it is believed, is dopondent upon clarification of the Germans' position in southern Russia.

Britain has focussed attention on Turkey, pointing. out that strong Imperial forces are ready at her back door to rush into action if. Bulgaria hurls her armies against Turkish Thrace.

Reports indicated that Bulgaria is acting under German.orders and that she is completing preparations for collaboration in the war and has mobilised 17 divisions, twelve of which are poised on the Turko- Bulgarian frontier.
