Soviet Commanders Wait Until Germans Become Aware Of Advances To Make Successes Known.

gBy Eddy Gilmore, Associated Press Staff \Vritcr)

MOSCOW, Feb. i--(AP)- A storming 55-mile advance on 1i 6o-mile front in the Ukraine in the last few days was re- ported in Soviet war dispatches today which told of growing German rout and confusion on four fronts where Russian spearheads have prodded deep into the thinly-clad ranks of

their foe.

From Le ad to the Crimea came repaint tel- report of success. Although low definite places were named, it was indicated that whole areas which on the map appear to be under Nazi control actually have been isolated. and that the cagey soviet commaned is only ivait-nlg for the truth to dawn upon the German generals before making I- series of sensational announce-

ments.

From the top of the front to the bottom, the wal- reports told of these victories:-

War Situation Last Night

)1 (BY 313K511. SIMPSON. Associated Press War Analyst)

The United Nations-Axis struggle is at a crisis on the Pacific front almost as grave for the allies as it was for Britain in that black Juno of 1940 when France fell.

The very scope of the expanded Nipponece drive to master the rich Netherlands Indies even before the Singapore and Luzon resistance centres have been cracked has an element of desperation in it.

It emphasizes the vital time element for Japan. It is now or never for the Nazi-minded Tokyo war pundits. It is all or nothing for them. and every moment of delay in lilnhya. and the Philippines or in the passages to the Java Si" is iu the advantage of the nlliel.

I I I I I I

The effect of the American-Filipino stand on Baton Peninsula. of the fighting retreat to Singapore of the British forces in Malaya, of the Chinese offensive on many fronts against Japanese invaders. is cumu- lative. Each makes its own demand upon Japanese army, naval. air and shippin resources.

There is an added deterrent factor for Japan in Russia's aloofness from the Pacific conflict. Russia's Asiatic frontiers are heavily manned. Even the crisis at Moscow failed to lessen materially Red army air and submarine concentrations at Vladivostok. That pins heavy Japanese de- fensive forces in the north, remote from the cruch] w" 111-0111;,

I ti I I ll I

It is beyond reason that Tokyo places any real reliance in the Russo-Japanese non-aggression pact. That was a marriage of conven- ience forthem both.

Japan gambled that under German hammering in the west, the Russians would not dare enter a two-front wu before Nipponese ma.- Jor objectives in the South Pacific had been attained.

But. Nazi hammering in Russia has ceased. Whenever and wherever the front stabilizes there. it will stabilize for months. That will be the moment when Tokyo must look northward with apprehension recboubled.

A British communique ictiay said that the siiuaiiou on tllc Salwccn front appeared 1o be stabilized after an effective evacuation of Moul- mein in which British losses were kept low despite heavy Japanese shelling and persistent bombing at- tacks.

The British forces for their part covered the lilanocutrl-e u-itll artill- ery at point blank range and "un- doubtedly inflicted heavy losses on the enemy." the communique saitl.
