The destruction of the Robin Moor
was ^effective notice that Hitler was,
ready to go* far beyond hie threat to
sink ships of any nation going to
Great' Britain. It tipped off the Nasi
determination to destroy the vessels
of this country,- and any other coun
try, unless they were serving the
interests of Germany. The attack
has been followed by a continuous
succession of similar events, culmi
nating in the torpedoing of the De

KuibyBhev,Russia,Nov. 12-lhe
German position abest Tula ott the
iiiiitiwni Moscow front was described
tonight in Soviet military dispatches
as endangered seriously by Russian
counterattacks which ^ already lucre
driven two German divisions back by
five miles and broken their subse
quent efforts to make a new stand.
In this ana of an qld and savage
struggle, about 100 miles south of
Moscow^ the* Red Commanders were
laid to have hurled forward-infantry,
artillery and tanks from Tula's south
em suburbs in a series of powerful
counter strtMces.
The German retreat, described as
nothing1 short of flight, was ordered
for fear of encirclement, it Wsa add
ed, and it was only after reinforce
ments eventually had been rushed up
In trodcs that the invader was able
to restore "some kind of balance."
(German assaults on the right flank
of the Moscow defenses at Kalinin,
95 miles northwest of the city, were
reported by the Moscow Radio to
have been continuing mi abated for
four days. v. ??
(The Nazis, it was added, were
massing reserves for an even strong
er effort.)
Other Fronts
Of other fronts there' was little
specific official news, the midday
communique of the Soviet command
reporting only a continuation of heavy '
fighting elsewhere.
So far as could be learned Tere,
the nearest German position to Mos
cow *was the vicinity of Naroffominsk
36 miles southwest of the capital, to
which the invaders apparently had
advanced some days ago. (A German
report last night said the most ad
vanced Nazi positions were within 81
miles of Moscow.)
Russian resistance in the far south,
presumably in the Donets basin above
and to the west of Rostov on the
River Don, was reported still rising
in violence. A correspondent of
Pravda, the Communist party de
scribed it as a front-"engulfed in
fire." . /
"Conflagration are raging every- .
where," he wrote. Pillars of flames
and blade' smoke rise high, in the
skies. Whatever it was impossible
to withdraw to the rear was blown
BP." ,
(The scarcity of German claims as
to the Moscow front and Berlin's
stress upon action in the Crimea was
taken in London by a Soviet spokes- .
man to support his declaration that
the Nazis hadbeen beaten down to
a standstill both before Rostov and
Moscow.)
