THREAT TO SUPPLIES
OF RUSSIAN ARMIES & PEOPLE SEEN BY COMMENTATOR IN LONDON. RICH CROPS IN ENEMY HANDS. LONDON, July 14. The military writer of “The Times” states that the gravest threat of disruption of the Russian communications affects not Marshal Timoshenko's armies, which have behind them supplies and communications probably adequate for all purposes, but the armies of the centre and north, which must already be handicapped by the cutting of the north-south communications, including the main road through Voronezh. If Hitler did not draw a drop of Russian oil, he still could derive immense benefit from cutting off the supply to the Moscow region or diverting it to roundabout routes of long mileage and low capacity. The threat to the Russian food supplies js also serious. A circle round Voronezh covers some of the richest cornlands, and a large proportion of the growing crop is now in the hands of the enemy.
