BIG SOVIET DRIVE
TIMOSHENKO PREPARES BATTLES RAGE IN SOUTH RED ARMY’S STRATEGY (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Feb. 16, 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 15 There is growing evidence that Marshal Timoshenko is about to undertake a great Ukraine drive. His powerfully reinforced armies are now attacking all along the southern front, where it is reported big tank battles are raging. The Russians are developing forward movements after strong artillery fire, and the Germans admit that the Red Army has broken through at points south-east of Kharkov and north of Takanrog. Marshal Timoshenko is evidently striving to widen the wedge between the German Donetz and Sea of Azov armies. This is a very important movement because the Germans have held on at Taganrog and Theodosia with large forces, suggesting that these points are intended to be springboards for a Caucasus attack at the end of the winter.
