Soviet patrol boats were said to liave sunk a German transport in lie Gulf of Finland.

Thepe regiments, said by the army newspaper Red Star to be the 233rd and 325t-h. were reported routed in a four-day con flict. leaving more than 2.500 dead on the battlefield. The long and bitter struggle for Murmansk, which lies to the eaBt of northernmost Finland, was pic tured as continuing, with the in itiative ID Russian hands. The first German offensive was loosed In July, said Red Star in telling for the first time some of the details of the campaign for Murmansk, but- the Russians forc ed the Germans on the defensive through the whole of August.

As the question of fighting aid to Russia gained importance, the Air Ministry revealed that the Royal Air Force uaits already based in Russia had destroyed seven German Messerscbmitt 10? fighters, as contrasted with only one British plane lost and one pilot killed. Some observers, recalling Wav ell's reputation for taking the of fensive. believed he had argued In favor of moving some of his troops Into Russia, at) least Into the Caucasus, but other sources said the question arose as to whether Wa veil's army was well enough equipped to fighf the Oer mans. Wavell conferred with Prime Minister Winston Chnrchill. Sir John Dill, chief ot dhe Imperiil General Staff, cabinet members and others, and he has now re turned to his command by air plane, it was revealed.
