THROWN BACK
GERMANS ON THE DONETZ MORE ATTACKS REPELLED BY RUSSIANS. HEAVY ENEMY LOSSES LONDON, April 12. In Russia the Germans have renewed their attacks on the Soviet bridgehead at Balakleya on the Upper Donetz, but without the slightest success. The Russians are stubbornly holding their line and have inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. Eighty miles to the north, in the Byelgorod area, the Russians have enlarged their bridgehead by storming and capturing a German trench system.
An earlier message reports that the Russians are giving the Germans and Rumanians no rest in the lower Kuban-Novorossisk bridgehead. In spite of the continuance of the appalling weather and floods which are impeding troop movements, the Russian artillery and infantry miss no chance to launch ground attacks against the Kuban and also round Novorossisk and Krymskaya. The Stockholm correspondent of “The Times” says that the Russians since April 5 have been constantly shelling Novorossisk with heavy guns which were landed since February on both sides of the inlet on which Novorossisk is situated.
