THREAT TO MAIKOP
ENEMY STAND UNLIKELY. * THE ADVANCE ON ROSTOV. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, January 23. Correspondents doubt whether the Germans will long defend the Maikop oilfield, west of Armavir. Following the capture of Salsk, which was announced yesterday, the Russians are moving on rapidly in the direction of Rostov. Two other Red armies, advancing on Rostov from the north and east, are within 50 and 45 miles of the city, but they face much stiffer defences than the southeastern army. Voroshilovgrad (formerly Lugansk), another vital rail centre and a big industrial town which is held by the Germans, is already under fire from Russian heavy guns.
Moscow last night announced the capture of Novoyegorlyk. This represents an advance of 35 miles from Voroshilovsk, in the Caucasus, along the railway to Kropotkin.
