A
letter
arrived
at

from
a
Canadian

in

who
said
he
had

met
j
a

of

men
and
together
they
did

One
of
them
had
been
the
rear
gunner
in
a

bomber,
which
had
been
badly
j
battered
over
France.
He
just
got
across

on

and
crashed
as
they
hit

been
in

since

and
had
just
got

He
was

not

A
Russian
winter
army
of
three-quarter
of
a
million
men
especially
trained
int
Arctic
Siberia
is
moving
up
to
reinforce
the
hard-pressed

line,
a
usually
reliable
source
said
tonight.
About
200,000
have
already
arrived
in
Moscow,
it
w
a
s
said,
and
another
200,000
are
on
the
way
"to
help
out
where
most
needed."
In
sending
these
winter
troops
as
far
south
as
Rostov,
the
Russian
command
would
be
bulwarking
one
of
the
main
danger

of
the

The
port
is
the
gateway
to

and
is

threatened
by
a
