BID FOR CAUCASUS
GERMANS “KNOCKING ATI THE GATES.” RUSSIANS HOLDING STRONG POINTS. LONDON, November 13. A German panzer units has broken! through the fortifications of Parpach and has driven along the railway to attack Kerch, where the Russians have retired within the defence perimeters of the three great fortresses—Kerch, in the centre, Yenikale, on the north, and the twin positions of Kop Takil and Mis Takil, on the south-east tip of the peninsula. The Stockholm correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that these three strong-points must be silenced before the Germans can hope to attempt a crossing of the Kerch Strait. A German spokesman declared: “The German army is knocking at the gates of the Caucasus” and storming the fortifications of Kerch, while German planes are roaring across the strait of Kerch to carry the war into the Caucasian oilfields.
