RUTHLESS DEFEAT
ORDER TO RUSSIAN TROOPS (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 10. Russia’s orders to her troops are to pursue the Germans with all types of arms and beat them to death, says the newspaper Pravda. “All Red Army men are now filled with one thought—ruthlessly beating and pursuing the enemy and not giving him a moment’s respite. “Oulr successes are great and our banners are favoured by victory, but the Soviet people are not given to complacency. The enemy is still capable of fighting in a frenzied manner for every yard of territory, but we know he is feeling the approach of the inevitable hour of. retribution for all his monstrous crimes. “The Soviet people, under the banner of Marshal Stalin, are confidently marching to victory. They will strain every effort to bring nearer the hour of triumph of their just cause. Planes, tanks, guns, mortars, machine-guns, and ammunition are pouring to the front line in a mightly, endless stream.”
