DEFENCE OF CRIMEA
RUSSIANS STRONGLY POSTED ON ISTHMUS FIERCE COUNTER-ATTACKS. BITTER FIGHTING IN UKRAINE.. (British Official Wireless.) ■ (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) RUGBY, Occtober 3. The latest information received in London shows that the German thrust towards Kharkov has met with fierce counter-attacks from, the Russians and that bitter fighting is still proceeding. Fierce resistance and counter-attacks are also reported from the isthmus joining the Crimea to the mainland, and the Germans have not succeeded in breaking through. Although they are reported to have advanced seven miles along the isthmus, further progress is rendered more difficult by the fact that, as the isthmus widen, it is divided by water into three distinct and narrow portions. This part of the isthmus was successfully held for a very long time by General Denekin against an earlier Red Army.
