SICKENING MONTH

FOR THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE BUT NO WEAKENING OF WILL TO FIGHT. EFFORTS TO REPLACE LOST FOOD SUPPLIES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 27. A great battle on the Soviet home front has begun to obtain enough food for the Red Army and the Russian people in the coming winter, says Reuter’s correspondent in Moscow. The loss of the three great graingrowing areas —the Ukraine, White Russia, and the Don Steppes—means that the remaining areas must feed the Russian population and the 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 refugees from the occupied districts. More than 2,000,000 tons of grain have been set aside for the Russian Army, and this would be enough to supply it for a year, but within the next few weeks Russia’s agricultural front will be making one of the greatest struggles in history. Reuter reports that the past month has been a sickening one for every Russian man and woman, with villages and towns falling into the hands of the Nazis. But neither in the Press nor in conversation is there the slightest indication of any weakening of the Russian will to fight on with every available ounce of strength, ingenuity, and courage. The people are greatly interested in the four Russian raids on Koenigsberg and the R.A.F. raids on Germany from the west.
