STERN WARNING

GIVEN TO THE NAZIS TREATMENTOF RUSSIAN PRISONERS. DAY OF RECKONING COMING. LONDON, November 8. The Moscow radio today said: “Documentary proof has reached us that the Germans are treating Russian prisoners brutally, particularly in the collecting camps behind the front lines. We tell the German'camp commanders not to forget that a day of reckoning is coming. We knd>w how you let the wounded die and beat the unwounded to death whenever your Gestapo methods could not elicit military information. Don’t forget that we have hundreds of thousands of Germans in our hands, and before the end of the war we will have millions.” NO RECENT CHANGE ON ANY PART OF EASTERN FRONT. WITH POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF CRIMEA. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) RUGBY, November 9. There has been no indication during the past 24 hours of any change in any sector of the Russian front and the Soviet midday communique confines itself to the statement -that: “During the night of November 8 our forces fought the enemy along the whole front.” During the past week virtually the only progress made by Germans, or even claimed by them, has been in the Crimea, where their artillery is reported to be bombarding Sebastopol and Kerch. RUINS OF ODESSA STILL FULL OF PERILS. delayed explosions. LONDON, November 8. A correspondent of the Vichy news agency, describing the ruins of Odessa, says: “Russian soldiers may be concealed in the catacombs of the city waiting for the right moment to launch further attacks against the Rumanians. “Several thousand people are iivmg in the ruins, and the Rumanians are obliged to feed them. The people refuse to answer questions. “The silence in the devastated city is broken every day by terrific explosions as delayed-action bombs blow up. It is dangerous to penetrate the few buildings, which are still intact, because of the booby traps.”
