SMASHED & ROUTED

GERMAN INFANTRY DIVISION. GENERAL TAKES TO FLIGHT IN HIS SHIRT. (Received This Day, 11-0 a.m.) LONDON, December 16. About 6,000 German officers and men were killed or wounded in one area on the south-western front, where the Russians have smashed and are now pursuing the German 44th Inf anti y Division, says the “Pravda.” The Russians completely smashed the headquarters of the 13th, and 132nd infantry regiments. Remnants of the routed division retreated westward in such haste that medical, veterinary and supply trains fell into our hands. General Fiebert. commandej.' of the division, had not time even to put on his uniform and fled for his life in his shirt. The Russians found his uniform among the booty. The 44th Division only recently

reached the front to relieve the 297th Division, which had previously been routed.
