AGAIN PIERCED BY RUSSIANS ON LOWER DON
Prisoners and Booty Captured WAY OPENED TO NEW PUSH TOWARDS ROSTOV MORE GAINS IN CAUCASUS AND OTHER AREAS LONDON, January 14. A new break through by Russian troops in the Lower Don is reported and in the Northern Caucasus the Soviet forces are still pressing on. •' Soviet columns are pressing hard on the heels of the retreating enemy in the Northern Caucasus, in spite of a break in the weather. One force is advancing north-westward along the main railway to Rostov and is 100 miles from important railway junction town of Armavir, where a branch line from Tuapse, on the Black Sea coast, joints the main Caucasian railway. Another Soviet column is making a parallel drive westward across the Kuban country and has captured Zhuraskoe, 80 miles east of Voroshilovsk. In the Lower Don, other Russian forces have made a new break through, but Moscow has not yet disclosed on which bank of the river this success has been achieved. It is known that the main German defence line has been pierced somewhere by Soviet armoured units, which have reoccupied a number of villages and taken prisoners and booty. Correspondents state that the break through has prepared the way for a fresh push towards Rostov. On the left bank of the Don, the Russians have advanced further down the railway linking Stalingrad with the Black Sea and are now well west of Kuberle and are pressing on towards the important junction of Salsk.
