i Interpreting The War News

(By Edward E. Boular) (Associated Press staff writer)

There are indications that Hitler may make a climactic ef- fort to crush Russia qulckiy as an answer to the "Atlantic charter" drafted by Prime Min- ister Churchill and President Roosevelt.

At least one more supreme attempt to roll up the Red ar. mics in the north and take Moscow and Leningrad ls clear- ly within the power of the Nazi war machine before snow flies, and the day's news sug- gests it may already be taking form.

Five hundred miles north of the fighting front in the Uk- raine, the struggle is being re. newed significantly in the cen- tre near Smolensk, Moscow re- ports. Still farther north the thrust toward Leningrad has gained renewed momentum. In- deed Boviet war dispatches re- port that the fourth major Nazi drive of the invasion has started in that area.

German Drive

Leningrad

Fierce fighting is continuing along wide front; Smash at Leningrad aimed from three points.

—-_— (By Henry Cassfdy, Associated Press Sta-ff Writer) MOSCOW, Aug. 16-(Saturday)—(AP)-—With

the fourth grand towarrd Leningrad and the Red

army defences pictured unofficially as holding in the critical Urn-pine sector, the Soviets terseiy announced today that fierce fighting is con.

The Russian communique reverted to the broadest of generalities and for the third time this week failed to mention a specific sector.

The German drive on Leningrad was from three directions, from the north on the Karelian Isthmus, from the south Russa, and from Estonia on the west.

BfOlififl Staraya

Of the Ukrainian theatre, where the Germans have made their deepest gains since the invasion began June 22, and where the Rus- sians previously acknowledged withdrawals from Kirovograd and Pervomaisk, the Soviet command made no mention either in its com-

muniques of Thursday afternoon or of today. But other Russian sources in-

sisted that the loss of the two towns admitted, lying about 100 to 115 miles above the Black sea port of Nikoiaev. implied no disaster.

Actually. they said, these and other retirements were occasion I oy a Nazi offensive which has been checked with enormous losses for the invaders and today was rela- tively inactive.

The Communist party newspa- per Pravda said that smaller Ger- man tank units, reinforced by ar- tillery and infantry, still are try- ing to snip the Red army rear, and that parachutes again were being used to drop men, light tanks and armored cars.

“We should not underestimate the force and capacity of the en. emy." said Pravda. "Although Hit- ler's army already has suffered great losses. it may once again throw large tank masses into the attack."

Pravda estimated that the Ger- mans started the war with a total of 1'70 divisions, including 60 mo- bile units of which 25 were tank divisions. In the first six weeks of battle, the paper calculated, the Germans lost 15 tank divisions.
