LAID DESOLATE
AREA OF GIGANTIC BATTLEFIELD. FLIGHT OF POPULATION. ZURICH, August 11. The “National Zeitung’s” Berlin correspondent says that a German, army reporter, describing Stalin’s scorched earth methods, stated: “It is impossible to conceive the extent of the distraction and desolation over the gigantic battlefield. Not a single hamlet is spared, and hundreds of thousands of homes have been razed. The population has fled before the fury of the war, and the only living things seen are animals which escaped the refugees and have returned to the sites of the former homes.”
