GREAT BATTLE
NO ABATEMENT IN VIOLENCE MOVE ON LENINGRAD HELD UP. FIERCE STRUGGLE IN CENTRE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.30 a.m.) RUGBY, July 22. The great battle between the Germans and Russians, in which the opposing armies are wrestling in fighting zones of great depth, continues with unabated violence. It is considered by military circles in London that certain developments are now clear. Firstly, the German
advance from Pskov towards Leningrad seems held up by the Russians; secondly, the Russians seem to be putting up a fierce resistance to the Germans endeavouring to advance on both flanks of Smolensk. It is still uncertain whether the Germans have occupied the city, but it is possible that German detachments are lighting beyond it. to the east, although the main supporting forces are still doing their best to break through on the Hanks; thirdly, the Germans seem to be making an advance in the Kiev direction, by a thrust developing down the right bank of the Dnieper River, which will be watched carefully as a success here might endanger the Russian forces in the Bessarabian sector.
