MODEST GAINS
GERMANS IN KHARKOV
SECTOR
(Rec. noon.)
RUGBY, June 29,
The "Manchester Guardian" points out that so far even the German claims are not on the grand scale, since at Izyum and Kupyansk together the Germans claim only 70 tanks and it has taken them a month to announce these modest gains.
The newspaper adds that the coun-ter-blow at Izyum failed to cut off the Russian armies before Kharkov, and that everything suggests that the Russian forces between the Donets and Oskol Rivers withdrew safely. The Germans have straightened the former curve in their front between Taganrog and Kharkov, which, if-it had . been left, might have been used 'by the Russians to worry them when they next strike eastwards towards Rostov and Don.
"If Sebastopol should fall, our main thought ought to be gratitude for all its splendid defence' has gained," says the "Guardian." "It has wasted weeks of the German time, as well as German lives and German material." — 8.0. W.
