HALT BEFORE MOSCOW
ADMITTED BY GERMAN BROADCASTER. “ADVERSITIES OF WEATHER.” (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) RUGBY, November 18. While the midday Russian communique merely states: “During the night our troops were fighting on all the fronts,” it appears that the intense cold is proving a valuable ally to the heroic defenders of Moscow, in front of which, as a German broadcaster, Colonel Bade, admits to German listeners, the attackers are “held up by the adversi- ' ties of the weather.” All information reaching authoritative quarters in London goes to show that the Germans are suffering terribly. Very few are properly equipped to withstand the rigours of Russian winter. The Russian troops defending Moscaw are well equipped. Life in Moscow, however, is proceeding normally and though the people naturally show a serious attitude there is no despondency and morale is very high. The food situation in particular - is satisfactory. In the Crimea the German claim, to have captured Kerch, while not confirmed in London, is not regarded as improbable.
