ON LENINGRAD’S RAILWAY COMMUNICATIONS
Capture of Important Junction Claimed FURIOUS STRUGGLES IN SOUTHERN AREAS FINNS NOT YET IN VIBORG LONDON, August 27. Regarding' the northern sector of the Russian front, a German communique claims the capture of an important railway junction. The Russians neither confirm nor deny the claim. It is evident that the Germans are trying to reach and cut Leningrad’s railway link with Moscow. In the southern sector the Germans repeat their claim to have captured Dnepropetrovsk and also state that they have taken another town on the Dnieper, south of that centre and 140 miles east of Odessa. Every Russian town, they state, is captured only after hand-to-hand fighting. All the Russian factories in Odessa are reported to be working at capacity and the spirit of the population is high. The Rumanians report Russian counter-attacks in the lower regions of the Dnieper. The Finns, it is stated, have not yet reached Viborg. They are experiencing difficulties in maintaining their lines of communication because of Russians operating behind the battlefront.
