STEMMING OF TIDE
Now Begun In Russia?
LONDON, August 2.
The "Red Star" reports that fighting in the Bataisk and Tsimlyansk sectors is assuming ever larger proportions. South of Bataisk, the Germans are striving desperately to force the river barrier, but Cossacks are driving them back.
While there is a general feeling that a crisis in the great Russian' conflict is at hand, there is also a growing appreciation in London that Marshal Timoshenko may have begun to stem the tide of misfortune.
Though the German advance is continuing at heavy cost south of Bataisk, below Rostov, Russian resistance appears to be steadily stiffening on other fronts.
