As soon as a riot is quelled at one point, another riot breaks out elsewhere, the report said. Thousands of Frenchmen have been apprehended and: sent to concentration camps and other thousands have been arrested to be court martialed, On several occasions the gueril- las, according to information re- ceived here, have waged pitched battles with German soldiers.

During the night, while the Rus- sians. were subjecting Vyzama to an intense artillery fire, and prac- tically had reduced its defense to dust, the Axis forces withdrew un- der cover of darkness, and when the Russian troops charged on the city at dawn they did not meet with any opposition. equipment, including hundreds of freight and troop cars, disrupted the waterworks system and dyna- mited many public buildings, While the Russians were scor- | ing their great success at Vyzama, | which lies 92 miles southwest of | this city, they were meeting with ‘reverses in the Kharkov area, where they are being pressed back gradually toward the outskirts of that city. The war office admitted today that Kharkov is in danger lof falling again into German hands... FEEDING PIGEON ‘ jout Rommel’s great losses, have been extremely costly to him in men and material. The first was a thrust at the Americans in central Tunisia, then at the British Eighth Army while it was attacking the Mareth Line in the south, then at the British First Army in northern Tunisia, . ,°'. i Montgomery beat back Rom- mell six times, him deeply into the Mareth Line; the’ Americans have regained al- most all the terrain they had lost, and four days ago the Brit- ish First Army hurled back three attacks launched by Axis forces. Today, Rommel struck three | times again at the British in the north, and he was so_ badly beaten up the third time he broke joff the engagement. Allied spokesmen, in pointing par- ticularly in equipment, declared that he has left few motorized vehicles to waste in his gamble! said to! have stated that as long as Axis! for time.

Aside from the fighting in northern ‘Tunisia, there has been little ground action elsewhere in that theatre, but the sea and air fighting in and over the Mediterranean is stil! continu- img apace. Yesterday, the Allied planes broke up a long string of barges that were trying to reach Tunisia with supplies and equipment from Italy, bombed several parts of Sicily and beat off attacks of| enemy planes.
