CONTINUED PROGRESS
THROUGH SEA OF MUD MADE BY SOVIET FORCES IN WHITE RUSSIA. HEAVY FIGHTING IN SOUTH. LONDON, December 6. The Russians have again pinched the German bridgehead on the Dnieper opposite Jlobin in White Russia. Further north they are ploughing Steadily towards the river and the German base of Mogilev. This progress has been made under terrible conditions, tanks, guns and infantry floundering forward in the mud. The liveliest sector at present is many miles down the Dnieper, where German tanks and infantry are keeping up a heavy counter-attack against the Russian bridgehead at Cherkasy. The German garrison at Cherkasy is in peril of being cut off and in the hope of relieving the pressure and the threat to a railway junction further back, the Germans have counter-attacked with anything up to 70 tanks and several thousands of men. So far, they do not seem to have made much headway.
