SOVIET SUCCESSES
IN SANGUINARY BATTLES RIVER CROSSING FORCED. GERMAN COUNTER-ATTACKS SMASHED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) RUGBY, March 29. Moscow messages state that the Red Army forced an unnamed river on the central front and captured a fortified settlement, after a very bloody battle. On the Kalinin front, a five-day battle, in which the Germans endeavoured to regain the initiative and to cut off a deep Soviet wedge, has resulted in the complete rout of the enemy, who lost 2,450 men killed, with an enormous number wounded, 25 tanks and 22 aeroplanes. Attempted coun-ter-attacks by the Germans on the same front were thwarted and the Russians are advancing. One of the German counter-attacks was supported by fifty tanks and numerous aircraft.
