BATTLES ARE
SPEARING
600-MILE FRONT
__
• LONDON, Jan. 12.—(AP)—Bat
tles are spearing the entire 600_
mile eastern front from Buda
pest in Hungary to Memel on
the Baltic, it has been reported.
The G°rman command said
t that the Russians are launching
a new offensive in Poland and
East Prussia.
A German communique said
the Russians have opened a big
winter battle between the Car
pathians and Memel.
Altogether the Russians are
storming westward in seven dif
• ferent sectors.
The drumfire and artillery bar_
rages were launched in Poland
from the Russian bridgeheads in
Pulawy and Varka, south of
Warsaw.
In southeast Prussia, the Ger- I
mans said that the Russians are
attacking toward Krahow, in
southern Poland.
The Germans have also admit- j
ted Marshal Konev’s offensive in
southern Poland has forged a {
strong bridgehead over the Nida. 1
where last night’s communique
announced a penetration to with
in 64 miles of Germany’s Siles
ian border, and 32 miles from
Krakow, the ancient Polish cap
ital.
While the Russians have not
yet confirmed the launching of
other new attacks, an AP dispatch
from Moscow said that there
were signs that the Red Army
may shortly engage every divi
sion in the eastern front, in some
of the heaviest battles between
the Russians and Germans,
which will eclipse perhaps any
thing the Soviets have yet thrown
against the Nazis.

flying weather in days, and
