The armies that took those two great centers have not stopped there. They pushed ahead, ~ h t their;:;..~ into the nor the suburbs of the,,/!** JL; c e n t e y ~ Irivoi Rog. But they are not stopping there either. They have by-passed Irivoi Rog and p ushed on due wes:3 4Jlaua aiming for a railroad bich run s due south in an almost strai , ht line to the Black Sea at a place ar.,. called Rikolaef. The advance guards of those armies ~ that line. are actually within ten miles of , The A armies pushing ahead. ~~ Thos e ~ are not the Russian A columns which took lelitopol are rolling south A along the only railroad line that runs into the Crimea. One Russian dispatch indicates t h at Cossack cavalry are almost at the gates of the Crimea. And the motorized columns in the van, at latest reports, were at a point halfway between lelitopol and the westernmost iathaus which connects the Crimea to the Russian mainland, the Isthmus of Perekop. If they reach that isthmus in time, the German army in the Crimea is definitely doomed except for such part of it as can be evacuated by sea to Odessa. And the Russians have still enough of a naval force in the Black Sea to inteifere quite seriously with such an attem p t. All in all, it loo k s as though the German a.Nit' " - colossal disaster in its history. The Bazi ra d io ad■ its a good deal of this, acknowledges that the Russians are attackin g with the force of a triphammer not only in the south but near Goael and southwest of Saolensk. The Bazia furthermore acknowledge that the latest Russian attacks north and south of Uelitopol had opened bridges and forced the Germans to witbdraw several ailoaeters. ... - - - - t) The Moscow correspondent of a big English newspaper returned to London today and reported that the German army was definitely beaten in Russia. There never again will be a German offensive on that ea=tern front, and before the end of the winter tha last Ge~man will probably have been expelle4 from Russian soil. That seems too good to be true, but today's news •••••x• gives a g ood deal of color to that opinion. BITLEB -- An interesting story about Adolf Hitler is carried in an English newspaper.

From Moscow we do~t learn ■uch. Just the routine reports which say nothing in several hundred words and do a lot of guessing. There ia evidently a good deal of entertaining going on in the Soviet capital, lunches and dinn~rs, and so forth. But Secretary Hull is not taking part in _ any of them. Be•*•*• stays at the Aaerican . Eabassy to save hi• atrejgth for the conferences. Practically all we hear is that satisfactory progress has been made. The first day'• debate in the Senate on the Connally re s olution was without violent incident. Senator Connally told bis collea g ues why he thought for hl ·s resolution.

He wants not aerely an international organization to keep the peace, he wants it to have power, inc l uding ailitary force, to suppress ■ ilitary aggression. Both Republican and Deaocratic aenators joined in with the i•i gentleman fro• Florida. Senator Danaher of Connecticut wants to tie a string to the cooperation of the United States. All ver~ell to join in post-war peace aachinery, he 1ays, provided the other b•lligerents give up all claims to territorial conquest. That idea was tacked onto the Connally resolution as an amendment. Senator Pepper intimated that the Connally Resolution does not really mean anything. He told the Senate today that it offers the appearance of an i "0 real agreement in the agreement, whereas there 8 " f d d his aeasure, both Pepper Senate.
