NEWS FROM THE EASTERN FRONT
Though Unprecedented Ordeal Continues ENEMY CHECK NORTH OF OREL IMPORTANT STRONG RESISTANCE IN VIAZMA REGION (By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) LONDON, October 13. After a week of painful public anxiety, today’s news from Russia and from neutral, “observation posts” seems to justify a slightly more encouraging assessment of the position on the Eastern front where however, the Soviet forces are still subjected to an unprecedented ordeal and the gravest developments can always be expected. “The Times ’’ Stockholm correspondent points out that no part of the Russian front has shifted since yesterday. The sole noteworthy changes were the Russian withdrawal from Bryansk and a slight improvement in the Russian position between Tula and Orel. This improvement appears to be significant and gratifying, whereas Bryansk seemed to be untenable after the German thrusts against Viazma and Orel. That the Russians have managed so soon, even if only temporarily, to check the progress of the German claw extended through Orel means much, because without continued German progress in this area there cannot be anything like a general development.
