GERMANY WARNED BY GOEBBELS

BLOODY DAYS AHEAD. United Press Assn.—By Electric Te leg r a p h—Copy r i gh t. (Special Correspondent.) LONDON, Dec. 25. The- fresh Russian successes are regarded as the best Christmas news for the Allied Nations. Th© Germans themselves make no attempt to conceal the weight of th© Russians’ attack . Referring to ‘bin heard-of-pres-stire,” Dr. Goebbels, in a weekly article jn Das Reich, warns the German, nation that “bloody days are ahead.” “No century has demanded of the German people so great aloss of blood as th© present one. We ar© spared nothing. History is quite without grace or mercy.” As was suggested last month, the Russians’ drive may carry them to Rostov, and this is now becoming a possibility. The military writer w th© Daily Exptess says: “It is now right to record the distant threat to Rostov, on th© Don, the riiain base and centre of communications of the whole enemy network in the south.” Thie Madrid eorresjwident of the Daily Mail mentions the. same likelihood. He says: “This would mean that the German army in the Caucasus would be cut off oi* forced to retreat at speed.” At all events, the Russians a.re expected to hammer the Germans bard during the next three months.
