BRITISH TRAIN ‘BRAIN CORPS’

Hope Handpicked New Unit Will Outdo Deeds of

Famed Commandos.

LONDON, Feh. 5 (U. P)—The tough Commandos scon will have their counterpart in a carefully sejected, specially trained “reconnaissance corps” whose boast is that they can do anything the Commandos can, only better. The success of the Commandos inspired the Army to form this new corps in which brains will be as important as brawn. The men now are being trained in Scotland, and under the Army's plan, their knowledge of psychology will be just as importent as their ability to handle an armored gar, read maps, and shoot from the hip. Each infantry division will be aljotted one batttalion from the new corps, which will be mechanized cn a scale unprecedented in military history.

Pick of the Army Each battalion will be equipped with 250 fast vehicles including armored cars, Bren gun carriers, trucks and motorcycles. Armament includes anti-tank artillery, rifles, grenades, mortars and machine guns. The men to man this equipment are the pick of other outfits, and because of the high premium placed on fast, clear thinking as well as action, an unusually high type of

LONDON, Feb. § (U. P).—Russian forces including ski troops and Cossack cavalry were reported today to have broken the German lines south and north of Kharkov, the great industrial center of the Ukraine. The Kuibyshev radio reported the Germans in retreat on both flanks of the city’s outer defenses, and that the Russians were pursuing them through a snowstorm of blizzard proportions. Between Kharkov and Kursk, 120 miles to the north, the Russians made an advance of 15 miles and the German command was said to have thrown thousands of reserves into the lines in an attempt to stop the drive by means of hastily organized counter-attacks. A dispatch of the Moscow Com-

munist Party newspaper Pravda reported that in its advance in the Donets River area the Red Army found unburied German dead still in the streets of towns. Driving forward on the front west and north of Moscow, the Red Army killed 5700 Germans and took 11 populated places, the Russian army communique said today. The Germans’ heaviest losses came in several sectors on the Kalinin front, northwest of Moscow, where five populated places were liberated, 27 tanks, five guns and eight machine guns destroyed and 5200 men and officers killed. There were no figures on the Soviet losses. Guerrillas also were dealing out misery to the cold and weary Germans as they operated behind the Nazi rear, the communique said.

BRITAIN LISTS TROOP LOSSES

Isles’ Army Casualties More Than Thrice Those of

All Dominions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (U. P).— British sources said today that casualties among troops from the British Isles had been three and one-half times as great as the combined casualties of dominion forces. The British Isles—excluding neutral Eire—have a population of 45000,000, compared with 25,000,000 whites in the dominions. The 100,000 civilian casualties in Great Britain suffered in bombing raids were ignored. The figures apparently were compiled by the British to offset criticism that dominions forces have been doing more than their share of the fighting. Axis propagandists have been particularly emphatic about the alleged use by the British of dominion forces on fighting fronts. The British Press Service said that in the battle of Malaya troops

because of geographical considerations, but one fourth of the total force. In that battle, it was said, five English and Scottish regiments were used.

The news arrived today and a lump sum of back pay came with it. “Sure I'm glad to get the dough,” Rogers said, “but look at all the K.
