Dispatches said that the Germans were still making a strong thrust in the Tula sector, about 100 miles south of Moscow, over the weekend, apparently attempting to drive through Russian defenses and encircle Moscow. Reports from the Orimea admitted, however, that the situation there. “is serious.” In the continuing, battle around Kalinin, where the northern arm of "a Nazi “nut-cracker” operation has been held in fierce fighting for several weeks, the Germans were sald to have lost 5000 men and huge quantities of war materials. Gen. Ottenbacher, commanding the 36th German Motorized Division, was reported killed. The Soviet defenders, wielding gasoline “cocktails,” were said to Be destroyed 60 tanks, 200 trucks, 120 motorcycles and 40 guns. Military advices said the Germans were rushing up reinforcements, mainly Austrians and some Rumanians and Hungarians, to the Kalinin area and: other sectors of the central front in preparation for a third offensive against Moscow. In the Kalinin fighting, the military dispatches -said, the Germans are using six-barrelled rocket-action trench mortars, basic chemical warfare weapons. Soviet forces were said to have consolidated new‘ positions: recently won in counter-attacks at Bolokolamsk and Mozhaisk, west and northwest of the capital, in preparation for the third heavy German ‘wave. Reports from Crimea were not detailed but the situation was described as “serious” and fighting was said to be “most fierce.”

SUIT AMENDED
Studevent. Adds Adds: Paidgrah To Get All Angles Before High Court. An additional legal action in the skip-election ‘controversy was filed in Circuit Court today. The newest pleading was a second paragraph to the suit filed last Friday by Charles O.: ‘Studevent, Indianapolis lawyer, who is a: Republican candidate for City: Council. His original suit, which was a surprise action, asked the Court to mandate the Election Board to hold|g.o a municipal election here next year
and declare the 1941 election ‘law
invalid. »
First Suit Hit Snag
The paragraph filed today asks for a declaratory judgment on the 1941 election law as a: technical move to present all the legal angles to -the- Indiana Supreme Court. Two weeks ago a similar suit was brought by two candidate for City Council, a Democrat and a Republican, who were represented by Joseph Daniels, . Ed McClure, -Republicans, and Floyd Mattice, a
‘Democrat.
: This suit, however, struck a snag last week, when Edward Knight, City corporation counsel, disqualified Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox from
change of judge in what was believed to be a Democratic factional dispute.

"Speedy. Ruling Is Goal
It is believed the Studevent suit, filed by Attorney William B. Miller, was rushed into .court in order to get speedy legal action up te the Supreme Court. The whole .controversy revolves
1941 election law which postpones until 1943 the municipal, elections of all Indiana cities except Indianapolis. The repeal clause is said to leave no law under which Indianapolis - could :- hold an election next year. If the new law is held unconstitutional, all cities in the State must hold municipal elections nexf year. 3

“When, it ever, will they declare war?” No official answer has been given to either. 5 The latest remark on the subject was made by President Roosevelt last week when he said he did not see any change impending between Germany and ‘the United States as a result of the sinking of the destroyer Reuben James. But ‘diplomats . offer privately a wide range of answers. Some maintain that a “state of war” already exists, based on the fact that the ently are carrying out a policy of “shoot on sight.” Others, when asked whether and |r when they think war will be declared, answer: “Do yoli mean officially?” The consensus here was that neither the Reuben James sinking nor ‘the attack on: the destroyer Kearny which preceded it would force a’ diplomatic rupture. Some Ti ts SGN ite" misting from the Reuben James and 11 died on the Kearney.

He said that on: the basis of Secretary of State Cordell Hull's recent statement the United States does not write ‘notes to “international highwaymen,” there appear to be no relations left to disturb.

The High Command indicated that the Russians are giving up the defense of Crimea and are bending all efforts to evacuate. their troops from the isolated peninsula. A total of 53,175 prisoners have been taken in the Crimea so far, the High Command said. The capture of Kursk, the last big industrial and communications center between Orel and Kharkov in Soviet hands, was achieved yesterday by a tank formation, the High Command said. Kursk is 100 miles south of Orel and about’ 125 miles north of Kharkov. The official DNB News Agency claimed that German troops are advancing in most sectors of the Moscow front and have halted Soviet counter-attacks.
