“FIRM DNIEPER STAND”
Germans Say They Escaped
Disaster (Received October 8. 8.20 p.iu.) LONDON, October 7. The German newspapers are congratulating the German leadership and army on “safely reaching the Dnieper,” thus bringing to a close the greatest retreat movement in history, greater and more difficult by far than Hindenburg’s withdrawal on the Western Front, says the Stockholm correspondent of “The Times.” A German military writer says that the German withdrawal in Russia was a perfect masterpiece of the military art, by. which the German armies escaped disaster, “but now this important phase in the southern half of the Russian front is closed and the Germans are making a firm stand on the Dnieper.” Another article says that vast quantities of Russian artillery were among the greatest surprises of the summer offensive.
