The Germans were smashed in a 26-day battle that. ended in a vio-

tory for Soviet arms yesterday when

of Yelnya, 40 miles east of Smolensk, an official announcement said

today.

This was the first time in more than two years of war that Hit- ler's men have been driven out of any major position once they had taken a foothold.

Not only were they driven out but what is left of them now is in disordered retreat toward the west whence they came, the Russians said.

Thus after nearly a month of silence on operations of Marshal Semeon Timoshonkos forces, the Russians officially told of what has been going on in that hotly contested central sector.

On both ends of the front, meanwhile, counter-attack after counter-attack by the Red forces appeared to be relieving pressure on Leningrad on the north and Odessa and Kiev in the south.

Report on the battle at the town of Xeinya, about 40 miles east of Smolensk and 200 miles west of Moscow, was issued as the fight for Leningrad grew more fierce.

Schooled for years to be ready to die for the revolution, the Sov- iet proletariat fought by the side of the Red army to beat back the iron tide roiling toward Leningrad. 1f they gave ground, Soviet dis- patches did not mention the fact.

10C Jews become Nazi hostages

VIOl-IY. Sept. 8—(AP)-—More than 100 Jews, including Pierre Masse, fomicr Minister of Justice, and. Theodore vaiensi. a former deputy, today were repsrted arrested as hostages by German authorities at Paris in new reprisaiS for growing disorders against the occupying

power.

Vichy no longer tried to conceal the gravity of strife in the German- cccupied zone or the fact that re- prisnls seemed only to heighten it.

“We can expect to see street in- cidents multiply," the government news agency told the press of un- occupied France. The agency cir- culated an extract from the Paris "Crl Dujeimie" which likened the situation in the occupied capital tn open warfare.
