The air assault on East Prussian railways
continues especially on the line from Kaunas

Estonia and Latvia the Russians yesterday
advanced 15 miles and they were yesterday
nearly half way between Pskov and the
sea. In Southern Poland the Germans tries

south of Imphal is being kept up and fighting
takes place within 5 miles of the border.
