Growing Threat To Krivoi Rog LONDON, February 11. Reports from Moscow say that the remnants of the 10 divisions in the Kanev pocket are now facing their last hour.

The Russians are reported to be astride the Germans’ main escape route. On the northern front, the Russians are keeping up their steady advance on Luga. , -r, .
