Mechanized Warfare, Marvels at Success

Of Russian Defenders.

By LELAND STOWE Copyright, 1043, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Ine.

SOUTHEAST OF RZHEYV, Central Russian Front, Sept. a 5.—This vast prairie land with its checkerboard of wheatfields and thick stands of forest is almost evenly divided into breaks and rolls and only occasional slight rises. To look at it, you never would guess that a front of fixed positions

could exist here; nor that one did exist here from last J ahu-|

[ives Sod shay

ary until less than a month ago.

You would never guess

that this beautiful farm and

woodland holds ene of the keys to Moscow and has held

that key securely, thanks to the Russian soldiers, fro mid-winter until now. Yet the scars of war are scattered across these wide, hospitable plains—here and there, when you look closaly. And the booming of hig guns rumbles like ® non-stop, distant thunderclap from the hazy edge of the peaceful looking horizon many miles to the west. “A powerful mechanized army . has been stopped i here and hurled back and forced to dig itself in ignominously. The . masters of motor1 Leland Stowe ized warfare have been held here. You gaze, and wonder for the hundredth time how it could have happened. The horiZon stands level. From the top of 8 10-foot observation mound you can see it curving gracefully more than 20 miles away. How were they stopped? How were tanks and armored infantry pinned behind the trenches and pillboxes on his rich tableland? Well, it happened. They were stopped and now they are being thrown back, back into another unseen segment of this same deceptive landscape. And here, in the recaptured village of Pogoreloye Gorodishe—burned out by name, and burned out once again—are the rare tell-tales of combat. Just an- , other wrecked fragment of simple farm tilling lives, Just another score or two of ruined homes, ashes and naked chimneys still standing. And against the brick shell of the village hall is lined a little mass of human debris. They, too, are standing.

Wear Shabby Clothes

ey are women and young girls boys and small children. All wear shabby clothes, The women and girls have kerchiefs wound over their heads and under their chins. Their faces are country faces. These Russian peasants have existed under German military domination ever since last October. You sge it especially in the faces of the older women, of the mothers and of the few old men. Many of the younger ones are thin but still look strong. There are a surprising number of children. What are they doing here? How can so many live here when only half a dozen houses are

still habitable? Someone explains 0 adel that they are going to school—for|gr

the first time in 11 months, Scoally going to school.

These peasants speak with a gush of words and supressed emotions, if you speak their language, and Maurice Hindus, who is of their soil, speaks it like one of them. So their misery pours out in simple, un-

people don't want to hear or believe in “atrocity stories.”

Who Can Forget? But the old women and the mothers in shabby, patched old clothes and the children are standing here in a circle and the children, whether aged 6 or 14, are going away for nobody knows how long, or if forever. Maybe you will pardon the Nazi system and all those millions of German youths who murdered cold bloodedly, if the order is given them, and sometimes even without it. Maybe you will pardon those German soldiers who in a nearby village dropped a pleading 90-year-old woman on her knees out into the snow at 20 degrees below Zero, burned her home and all her belongings and left her to die—which she did very soon. Maybe you'll

pardon them and forget about it.|-

But if you were one of these who are the human debris of Hitler's and Germany's imperialism, if you stood here against the brick shell of what was once your hall and your village, would you be able to forget? It is an old story—unless it happens to be your own.

It is such things as this case that employment officials must clear up before we reach the bottom of our factory manpower here and start asking women who have never worked before to take jobs.
