SUNK IN BALTIC
Rec. 2 p.m. RUGBY, July 12. The destruction by the Soviet Baltic Fleet in the last two days of eight enemy transports, amounting to 70,000 tons, shows that the fleet, in spite of German mine-laying, has broken through the hold on the Gulf of Finland. About 50 mine-laying aircraft have been brought down by the Russians. Soviet naval operations have obliged the Germans to protect their Baltic traffic by escorted convoys. Street posters in Moscow announce that all men between 19 and 50 hitherto exempted from military service must now register. It is announced that Russian plane factories are ahead of their newly-increased schedule. 1
