AT THEIR PEAK

RELATED RUSSIAN OPERATIONS OVER THE WHOLE FRONT. SOVIET TROOPS STREAMING ACROSS DNIEPER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, October 10. The Red Army's related operations over the whole front from Nevel to Melitopol have reached the highest magnitude attained since the outbreak of the RussoGerman war. While the outcome of the vital battle of the Nevel sector is trembling in the balance, the Red Army is also threatening to outflank Vitebsk, Kiev, and Dnepropetrovsk from the rear, and is renewing its attacks against Zaporozhe and Melitopol to complete the cutting off of the Germans in the Crimea.

The dull, red glow of hundreds of blazing villages tonight lights up the skyline of the Dnieper. The Germans are firing villages in the desperate attempt to create a scorched earth zone which wftl give them time to disengage.

Red Army troops, tanks, guns and

supplies are streaming across the Dnieper day and night consolidating the bridgeheads on the west bank, According to the Moscow radio eight divisions, with full artillery and equipment, have crossed the Dnieper. Reuter reports that the Germans are counter-attacking ferociously, but so far ineffectively. The .Russians are storming hilltop villages on the west bank with tanks and guns and finishing off the enemy with shattering bayonet charges.
