VIGOROUS EFFORTS

MADE BY RUSSIANS POWERFUL COUNTER-THRUST IN NORTH. SOME UNSUPPORTED GERMAN CLAIMS. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, July 15. A vigorous and apparently largescale Russian counter-thrust towards Ecbruisk, and German News Agency claims, without detail, of continuing advances toward Leningrad and Smolensk, are features of today's news. The British United Press says it is unofficially claimed that the Germans have

reached Kiev, but have not yet captured the whole city. However, neither Russian nor official German sources confirm this report.

Military commentators in London say it is possible that German armoured formations have penetrated fairly deeply into the Russian front at some points, without the support of main attacking forces. This is admitted by the Berlin Radio, which mentions difficulties for the German troops caused by the Soviet method of defence in depth, The “Izvestia” says the Russian counter-offensive between Rogachev and Jlobin is pressing on and the front is now twenty miles west of Rogachev. The Russians also crossed the River Dnieper at several points north of Rogachev, after their artillery had silenced the German guns, and routed enemy tanks. The inhabitants are returning to Rogachev and the roads are choked with captured German tanks.
