WIDE BELT
OF TERRITORY HELD BY RUSSIANS ..AROUND VON HOTH’S TRAPPED-. ARMY. • SIGNIFICANCE OF RECENT OPERATIONS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.5 a.m.) RUGBY, January 10. News from Russia is that forces advancing on both sides of the Lower Don are steadily clearing the remaining southern part of the Don bend, east of the Lower Donetz, and are consolidating their hold on the southern railway, half-way between Stalingrad and Rostov. The significance of these operations, which have been proceeding for the past week or so, is that there is now a solid belt of some 120 miles between the great German army still desperately holding on >at Stalingrad and any prospect of relief. Meanwhile, in the Caucasus, the Russians’ westward advance towards Pratigorsk and Georgievsk is unchecked. The latter town seems to be in immediate danger.
