♦ ! ' RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE In their advance on the northern flank of Stalingrad Marshal Timoshenko’s forces swept on yesterday through minefields and fortified points, capturing important high ground. German tanks which tried to stem the advance were flung aside. Though the Russians report merely that German attacks at Stalingrad itself were repulsed with losses, one report suggests that the Russians there are on the offensive and have captured a hill dominating the city. The correspondent who reports this says that the Russian threat may extend to the German forces in the Caucasus, now that the Stalingrad-Rostov railway has been cut. Everywhere else on the Russian front the enemy is being firmly held, and the Russians have had local successes in several sectors,—London, November 23.
