HEAVY FORCES
MASSED BY GERMANS IN CRIMEAN OFFENSIVE. POSITION IN THE UKRAINE NOT YET DEFINED. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) RUGBY, June 11. The attacks on Sebastopol are reported in authoritative quarters in London to be increasing. The assault has been going on for six ‘ days and the Germans are reported to be using eight or ten divisions. The Russians also have been strongly reinforced since December. Evidently the Soviet Fleet has been successful in keeping open the route to the port and it is presumed that the defenders have at least one aerodrome. The scale of the German attack on the Kharkov front is not yet known. A Soviet communique stated only that the Germans in this sector had passed to the offensive and it is not clear whether' a really big offensive has started. •
