IN
DANGER
OF
FALLING
Berlin
Claims
Its
Capture
Today
Following
Admission
That
First
Line
Of
Defences
Are
Entered
LONDON,
June
22
A
Reuters
dispatch
announced
that
the
Russians
had
been
driven
back
to
the
second
line
of
defences
at
Sebas-topol,
withdrawing
from
outer
positions
after
seventeen
days
of
all-out
attack
by
the
enemy.
Berlin
claimed
capture
of
the
city
today.
The
enemy
are
also
concentrating
a-heavy-attack
on
Rostov
while
In
the
Leningrad
area
the
Soviet
forces
themselves
have
been
advancing.
The
rest
of
the
Russo-Gcrman
front
appears
to
have
been
more
or
less
Inactive.
At
Moscow
President
Kalinin
declares
that
Germany
Is
no
longer
strong
enough
to
launch
a
general
offen
sive,
having
lost
1,500.000
men
In
the
first
year
of
war
against
Russia
which
ends
tomorrow."
Nazi
advances
on
the
Kharkov
section
of
the
long
Russo-Genr.an
front
are
admitted.
The
situation
at
Sebastopol
over
tho
week-end
was
grim
although
the
weary
Russian
garrison
Is
still
holding
doggedly
on.
In
fifteen
days
the
Germans
are
estimated
to
have
lost
50,000
dead
with
casualties
numbering
200,000.
Still
they
threw
fresh
forces
into
the
battle
for
the
Black
Sea
port
regarded
as
the
key
to
the
Caucasus
oil
fields.
Predicts
Return
To
God
As
Result
Of
World
Trouble
Out
of
the
present
welter
of
conflict
and
evil
in
the
world
may
yet
come
good
as
Ood
always
has
the
final
word,
suggested
Rev.
A.
F.
MacSwcen
in
his
morning
sermon
to
the
congregation
of
First
Presbyterian
Church
yesterday.
Meanwhile.
It
appeared
that
the
world
to
a
large
extent
had
lost
its
sense
of
the
realism
and
presence
of
God,
possibly
due
to
the
feeling
by
man
of
his
own
self-sufficiency
owing
to
the
Increased
control
of
the
things
around
him.
But,
suggested
the
pastor,
the
time
would
probably
come
out
of
the
present
situation
when
man
would
again
feel
the
need
for
God
whereupon
there
would
be
a
"return
to
the
acceptance
of
His
principles.
Floral
decorations
In
First
Presbyterian
Church
yesterday
were

of
the
