. United Press War : In the wake of the “unconditional surrender” con-

ference of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister

Churchill, the Russians are stepping up their smash-

ing offensive at

a pace which threatens the Ger-

mans with military disaster at several points on the long eastern front.

) the historic siege of German arms.

Stalingrad.

The Russians are writing the final, grim chapter

It is ending in a staggering defeat

Of an estimated 220,000 axis troops which started

ie assault, fewer than 5000 remain in the field.

The remnants are disorganized, off from supplies in some cases ‘without! ammunition. Those who ‘to fight are spurred into less resistance by German offiwho are blindly following order to die rather than

The axis losses in men and equipment at Stalingrad are only part of the picture. According to the ~Boviet army organ Red Star, 102 axis divisions have been routed or cked out of action since the offensive started a little more than two months ago. The axis was estimated by Josef Stalin fo have had 240 divisions, when the Offensive started. The Russians now present a serious threat to the main German base at Kharkov, in the Ukraine; to Rostov, at the entrance to the Caucasus, and to the German army in the Caucasus.

The Red army is closing in on Rostov from north, east and south. If Restov is taken, there is a prospect that the German army in the Caucasus, originally estimated at about 185,000 men, may be cut off to suffer the same: fate as the army at Stalingrad.

In the area to the north of Rostov, the Russians are within artillery range of Voroshilovgrad and are driving directly toward Kharkov. North of Kharkov, they have cleaned out Voronezh and are headed for Kursk. Success of these two drives might lead to encirclement of Kharkov should the frontal drive fail.

The deliberations at Casablanca had a direct bearing on - these Russian successes. The allied leaders decided on ‘all possible aid to Russia, both military and material.

FUEHRER DUPED "HIS OWN ARMY

Forces Ate Dogs and Cats While Waiting for Promised Aid.

MOSCOW, Jan. 28 (U. P.)—Gen. Friedrich Von Paulus, German commander-in-chief of Stalingrad, rejected a Soviet ullimatum to surrender on- Jan. 10, still hoping that Adolf Hitler would somehow make good on a boastful promise to get aid to him made on Christmas when he ordered his trapped forced to fight to the last man. Von Paulus had only 70,000 or 80,000 troops left. He didn’t know it, but his, position was hopeless. Food rations dropped until his men were eating only 125 grams of bread daily (approximately 4.4 ounces) and had already eaten their horses, cattle, dogs and cats. Prisoners told Anglo-American newspaper correspondents visiting the Stalingrad front 10 days ago that the Germans never fully realized the hopelessness of their position, Hitler saw to that. Lose 600 Transports

The luftwaffe lost over 600 transports up to Jan. 10 in desperate effort to feed the isolated troops, but finally abandoned daylight flights when the receding front made it impossible for fighters to escort them. : The loss of Pitomnik airfield, inside the encircled area, then put an end to any hope of food for the Germans because all the transports were based at this field. At the height of their activity, luftwaffe planes made more than 500 flights daily but by Jan. 1 the flights had dropped to 100 or 150. Von Paulus managed to retain a few planes which were later captured by the Ryssians. , Doomed Mostly Germans :. The Russians achieved the great encirclement of Von Paulus’ forces four days after the opening of Col.Gen. N. F. Vatutins’ offensive in the middle Don area which raced southeast across the Don bend to Kalatch, where he closed the ring around the Germans in co-operation with the forces of Col.-Gen. Andrei I. Yeremenke on the Stalingrad front. Von Paulus’ trapped army then included the 14th, 16th, 24th panzer divisions, the 3d, 29th and 60th motor infantry divisions, the 71st, 76th, 79th, 100th, 113th, 297th, 295th,

{ 350th, 371st, 889th infantry divisions,

TO-MARINE CORPS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (U. P.). —The marines, traditionally the nation’s toughest fighting force, are in for a slight softening up. A women’s marine corps reserve has been added. \ Lieut. Gen. Thomas Holcomb,

nounced establishment of the corps to- relieve leathernecks for combat duty but he said it still is in the “planning stage.” Full details are to be made public Feb. 156 and no applications or inquiries will be received until that date, he said. Similar in purpose to the army's} WAACs, the navy’'s WAVES and the coast guard’s SPARS, the new reserve—as yet unnamed is being created without, benefit of legisla-

tion. None was needed since the marines are part of the navy and the latter already has the authorization. - Mrs. Thomas W. Streeter, Morristown, N. J., lawyer, will head the

MacARTHUR COMMUNIQUE (Issued Thursday, Jan. 28)

NORTHEASTERN SECTOR: N GUINEA—Papua: Our losses in the Papuan campaign have now been compiled and are low. Compared to the enemy’s, they are less than half that of his ground force losses, including not only our battle casualties, but our sick from natural causes; in the air they amount to a very much lower proportion and on the sea our losses are negligible. These figures reverse the usual results of a ground offensive campaign, especially against prepared positions defend-~ ed to the last when losses of the attacker usually are several times that of the defender. Two factors contributed to these results: First, there was no hurry to attack because the time element in this case was of little importance. Second, for this reason no attempt was made to rush positions by mass and unprepared assault. The utmost care was taken for the conservation of our forces, with ‘the result that probably no campaign in history
