only 40 miles north of Sevastopol, Further, the intrepid garrison of Sevastopol, which had fought back against great odds for months while it was on the defensive, had struek out from that fortress along the Sevastopol-Mariupol railroad, in the direction of Bakhchiasalai and Sim« feropol, in a frontal attack.

The offensive, one of the most important of the gigantic Russian counter-offensive, was accompanied by another in the Leningrad area, on' the other end of an 1100-mile front, Moscow asserted in a special com= munique that in the flve days up to Monday, on the entire front, its troops had freed 572 towns and villages and left more than 100,000 Germans dead, Russian forces drove forward 15 miles on the front southwest of Moscow, Kuibyshev dispatches said. Battlefields were reported “strewn with German dead.”

STOCKHOLM, Jan, 7 (U, P.)),= A Berlin dispatch to the newspaper Social-Demokrate said today that German military circles had disclosed that the Germans in Russia had not yet reached their “winter line” and doubted whether such a _line could be established at all.
