EPIC DEFENCE OF KIEV Developments Of Week K SHOES

COMES TO AN END

BERNE, Sept. 21 (Router),~Kiev fell owing to complete exhaustion, says a Milan dispatch quoting the war correspondent of the "Corriere del Lasera.' The town for a week lacked water and the food market was almost empty for a month and was closed for a week. Russian wounded from the great battle in the Eastern Ukraine were largely transported to Kiev where hospitals were full. Schools, churches, theatros, cinemas, hotels and private houses were filled with wounded,

"Kiev is an enormous hospital," it was stated. Nevertheless, in order to conquer the town, which was reduced to such conditions, the Germans had to overcome a belt of concrete forts, minefields, high tension barbed-wire defences and engage in terrible Hand-to- hand fighting.
