MOSCOW. March 25—(HP) —
The Red arm-.’ reported today
that a week long German offen-
sive against the upper Donets
line had failed to carry across
the river, and the Soviet posi-
tions are intact everywhere in
a broad arc east of Kharkov.
“Several days of storming the
upper reaches of the Donets have
not brought the enemy any re-
sults expect piles of corpse- Jit-
tering the right hanks' the offi-
cial army organ Red Star said.
“The Soviet defenses have not
been broken at a single point.”
The Germans, their streng-
th sapped by enormous loss-
es anil stubborn Russian re-
sistance, save reduced the
scale id' their attacks along
tin- Donets to relatively
feeble thrusts, front dis-
patches said.
Nevertheless they were report-
ed still moving up fresh armored
forces, apparently not having
given up hope of forcing the
Donets despite the fact that they
had been brought to a -landstill
from the P.elgorod area of the
river to Thechuguev region
above and below Kharkov.

“The battle is raging inces-
santly day and night in the en-
emy defense belt,” a Pravda dis-
patch said. The Germans arc
clinging desp rately to every
line, but our units are methodi-
cally crumbling the enemy de-
fenses.”
