DECISIVE BATTLE
YET TO BE FOUGHT GRIM STRUGGLE FORCED ON ENEMY. NOTHING LIKE RAPID SiyEEP OF LAST YEAR. LONDON, July 12. “Foux’ German armies each with two or three tank divisions and also mobile air groups of 600 or 700 planes, have achieved advances of upward of 100 miles in the presexxt German offensive against Russia, which has entered its third week,” says the Moscow correspondent of “The Times.” “The Germans are using a total of about- 50 divisions of infantry, and 10 or 12 panzer divisions with complementary motorised infantry divisions, also upward of 3000 planes. “There has been nothing like the rapid break-throughs of last summer, and the enemy has nowhere gained an overwhelming ascendancy, but has been forced to fight grimly for every mile. The decisive battle for the Don and Volga Basins is still ahead.”
