Russ Smash Deep Into Donets To Wrest Lands From Nazis

(Continued from ‘Page One)

German planes were shot down in

aerial combats. The Mius river advance, coupled with a twin drive from the Soviet bridgehead on the west bank of the Donets below Izyum, to the northwest, gravely menaced the German salient running east to Taganrog on the Sea of Azov.

Swift Russian advances in this sector probably would force a general withdrawal from this sector, possibly as far west as the Dnieper river, to escape an encirclement similar to that which wiped out the Germaa 6th army at Stalingrad. Such a retreat also would doom German forces in the Crimea and along a narrow stretch of the northwest shore of the Caucasus,

bridgehead below Izyum, the Russians yesterday captured positions officially described as “of great im-. portance,” then beat off eight savage counter-attacks, often in hand-to-hand fighting. More than 2000 German officers and men were killed in the 24-hour battle and 28 tanks and four selfpropelled guns were wrecked. Ten divisions recaptured Kharkov at bayonet point yesterday hoon to win the greatest victory of the summer campaign. Russia’s fourth largest city, it is the industrial capital of the Ukraine and one of the most important railway hubs in the whole country. Buildings: Destroyed Front dispatches said the Soviets broke into the city at dawn yesterday from the west, north and east to find it in flames from German demolitions.; The defenders were driven back through the streets, from house to house. Every building bristled with machine-guns and trench mortars placed on every floor from attic to basement. Ammunition dumps were

1in cellars and hack yards. :

“Our great joy was somewhat dimmed by the awful destruction this beautiful town suffered,” a Russian correspondent wrote from the front. “The Germans system-

atically destroyed all buildings of

culture, They even fired civilian homes in several parts of the city. “Scouts who penetrated the town the past few days said the women and children could be heard crying in their homes. German hangmen destroying the town displayed no mercy for civilians, “Red army men are assisting the overjoyed population now attempting to extinguish the fires. Here and there, smal} mopping up cperations are going on, but Kharkov again is a Soviet town.” The Russian high command said the Germans suffered “enormous losses” which still are being enumerated in the final battle for the city, during which German bombers’ made as many as 1500 flights a day over Soviet positions in a Setéin te attempt to stave off deea Some 70 miles to the west, Russian flanking columns pounded forward .in new advances above Poltava on the approaches to ‘the

Dnieper, capturing 15 towns ‘and

villages in one sector alone. Nearly 4000 enemy troops were killed and 40 tanks wrecked, while booty included 25 guns, 32 mortars and 162 machine-guns. Twenty-nine German planes were shot down.

QUEBEC VOWS FORWARD PUSH

Roosevelt, Churchill Make Declaration of Parley Action. (Continued from Page One)

bec conference was on the defeat of Japan, Churchill said there was no call for representation by others than belligerents against the Jap: anese. Later, Churchill paid high tribute

to the Russian drive against the German army. With the activation of plans reached here and in past ‘meetings and in the future, Great Britain and the United States will be able, he said, to bring the whole of their weight to bear. This combined with the powerful operations of Russia, “should give us,” he added, “the very best means for re-leasing-the suffering, axis-oppressed peoples of the world.” Because the allies are engaged in a life and death struggle, Churchill said, speaking informally, it is impossible to talk in detailed terms, but he added that very good conclusions had been reached here. Any difference between the conference here involved priority and emphasis, he said, byt there was nothing but complete unanimity of principle.

Expect; New Achievement

With Sicily prostrate after an operation planned last winter at Casablanca, the British prime minister, slouched in a chair and with his hat down over his. eyes, said the world could rightly expect another allied achievement to be forthcoming. : Great steps, he added, were being taken to bat down our antagonists one after another. : Canadian Prime Minister WwW. L. MacKenzie King also participated in the press conference. The three men sat on a terrace: outside the citadel, atop the ramparts 400 feet above the St. Lawrence river. They talked .against a background of church spire-studded countryside across the river.
