AIRCRAFT CAPTURES U-BOAT LONDON, September 8. A German U-boat surrendered to a British bomber In the Atlantic.

In the meantime the “Red Star” reports that Marshal Timoshenko has launched a terrific counter-attack in a north-westerly direction from a spot vaguely described as betwen Smolensk and Leningrad. This, if pressed, will possibly for-e the Germans to detach troops from the Leningrad front. Enemy sources admit the attack, but claim that it is held.
