BATTLES IN MUD
BEING FOUGHT IN RUSSIA SOVIET FORCES STILL MAKING HEADWAY DRIVE ON VITAL JUNCTION OF SNAMENKA LONDON, December 5. Stories of heavy rainstorms and troops and lorries pressing forward in mud come from Russia. In the Dnieper bend region the weather is described as more like that of April than of December. Mr Paul Winterton, the London “News-Chronicle’s” Moscow representative, states that in the Kremenchug sector the roads are deep in liquid mud and water. The Russians still have their eyes on the vital railway junction of Snamenka. They are making sure of the positions gained by their spearheads. The last batch of strongpoints bn the approaches to the town were taken by fast tanks, which abandoned the roads and fought their way across country. Now the Russians are bringing up guns and infantry to consolidate their positions.
