DESPERATE STAND
ATTEMPTED BY GERMANS BUT RUSSIAN THRUSTS CONTINUE. • NAZIS BADLY BUSTLED. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, February 4. The retreating Germans have reached their fortifications on many sectors of the Eastern front and are turning to give battle to the Russians. According to a high military authority in Moscow, the Nazis are now making a desperate stand, but the Russians are steadily pushing forward. The “Izvestia” says the Germans are retreating in the Smolensk area. They have been badly bustled and are no longer masters of the strategic situation. The Russians are using massed artillery in their offensives in the form of a battering ram. Petrovka, twenty miles south of Barvenkova, has been captured by the Russians, who are now pushing southeast.
