ROLLING ON
GREAT RUSSIAN ADVANCE. (Received This Day, 1.0 p.m.) LONDON, February 19. Along a line of over a thousand miles the thunder of the Russian ..advance rolls irresistibly westward, increasingly menacing Orel, Poltava, Tanganrog and Novorossisk. The biggest gains are northwards of Kursk, where the Russian columns are within 35 miles eastward, south-east ana southward of Orel, the last of Hitler s original chain of great strongholds in South Russia. Moscow despatches say that despite the Germans’ furious counter-attacks, in which tanks and infantry have been thrown in hastily, the Russians have considerably advanced west of Kharkov, where their armies are thrusting towards the Dneiper. At one point they are within 45 miles of Poltava,, the strategic Ukrainian railway junction.
