NOTE OF WARNING

REGARDING SUPPLIES FOR RUSSIA NEED OF GREAT INCREASE. OUTLOOK ON SOUTHERN FRONT CRITICAL. LONDON, September 9. British and American tanks and > planes and other war material which are arriving through Iran for Russia’s southern front are described as hopelessly insufficient for the battles which are now being fought on a scale which the British people seem incapable of comprehending. Sending this news from Stockholm to the “Daily Telegraph,” its correspondent warns: “Unless sufficient aid arrives quickly Hitler may, through Allied dilatoriness, pull off the riskiest gamble in his career.” AT THE OPERA ALLIED UNIFORMS IN MOSCOW. LONDON, September 8. Reuter’s correspondent says that when the opera season opened in Moscow last night British and Allied uniforms were prominent in the audience, including a whole array of R.A.F. uniforms. NO CONFIRMATION OF NAZI ENCIRCLEMENT CLAIM. ENEMY ENGAGED ON WHOLE FRONT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.32 a.m.) RUGBY, September 9. The Soviet midday communique confines itself to the statement: “During the night of September 8, our

troops continued to engage the enemy along the whole front.” No mention is made of the German claims to have captured Schlusselburg (east of Leningrad) and there is no confirmation of the accuracy of such claims in London.
