ADROIT MANOEUVRE
CHERKASSY ENCIRCLED BY RUSSIANS (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.30 a.m.) * RUGBY, November 5. The Red Army has encircled Cherkassy, on the Dnieper, 70 miles northwest of Kremenchug, as the result of an adoit manoeuvre west and southwest of the city, says a Moscow message. Attempts by the garrison to break out, and by a relief force to break in, have been repulsed with heavy losses. The Russians are exploiting their favourable position in this sector. The Red Army has also half encircled Alexandriya, a railway town about 25 miles from Snamenka. The Germans are holding on hard to Snamenka, but' the whole district to the north, on the left bank of the River Inguletz, is now in Soviet hands.
