LONDON
The
Russian
military
situation
in
the
war
with
Germany
was
slightly
more
cheerful
today,
according
to
advices
from
the
Soviet.
The
Red
Army,
it
was
claimed,
was
generally
in
control
of
the
situation
although
the
position
in
the
Ukraine
was
far
from
stabilized,
obviously
continuing
t0

there.
"There
have
been
a
certain
number
of
German
tucresses,"
said
one
adyice
from
Moscow,
but
the
Russians
had
succeeded
In
getting
the
most
of
their
retreating
forces
across
the
Dneiper
River
to
set
up
a
new
and

line
of
defence
there.
