The abandonment of this town followed by four days the an- nouncement last Friday that Rus- sian forces had withdrawn from Chernigov, 80 miles north of Kiev between the Dnieper and Desna rivers_

Details of the loss of Kremen- chug were lacking, but today's early morning communique spoke of prolonged and bitter fighting in this middle Ukraine sector.

Elsewhere, there was the usual report of stubborn fighting along the entire eastern front.

Marshal Timoshenkos western army, counter-attacking on the central front, appeared today to be closing in on Smolensk. the old Napoleon road to Moscow. where the Germans are said to have been thrown back without having done as well as the Little Corporal, _$9'l§t41i$lle2¢ll?=_»d_m1_llfid “Mt

“It's a steady job for everybody. It's a. real war job because fight- ing men are the very foundation of our war activities and the best guarantee of victory."
