RED ARMIES OUTFLANK LWOW IN POWERFUL THRUST Moscow, July 19 (UP) Marshal Ivan S. Konev's 1st Ukrainian army, pouring through a 124-miles hole in Germany's southeastern defenses, outflanked the fortress of Lwow from the north and prepared to smash across the Bug river border into the puppet government general of Poland in a new offensive aimed squarely at the reich. Koev's tanks and infantry already were well across the Bug river at several places south of the point where it becomes the border agreed upon by Germany and Russia fol lowing the partition of Poland in 1939, and one column was speedin mile front stretching from a point west of Luck to Jerierna, 60 miles southeast of Lwow. One column crashed through to Skomorokhi, 35 miles north nort- east of Lwow, to reach the east bank cupied government-general of Pm and, from which Germany launch ed her invasion of Russia three years and 27 days ago. Another swept across the Bug river 21 miles north of Lwow and captured Kamionka, nine miles from the Lwow-Lublin-Warsaw rail way; a third seized Krasne, junction of Lwow-Rovno and Lwow-Tarno- pol railways 25 miles east of Lwow, 60 miles southeast of Lwow. At the northern end of the new offensive front, the Russians reach ed Poritsk, 36 miles west of Luck and 90 miles southeast of Lublin. German prisoners swept up in the first days of the offensive expressed amazement over the comparative ease with which the Soviets had breached the Germans' second, or "Prince Eugen," defense line along the Bug river. Overcast Skies Predicted An Appreciation 1 I wish to take this opportunity of thanking all the friends who sent me flowers, cards and letters dur ing my stay in the hospital. These kindnesses helped to make the days more pleasant, and were all greatly appreciated. Mrs. R. C. Wenzel. KEEP ON rmiil'MDOElDS westward only a few miles from the' and a fourth swept through Jerierna, Lwow-Lublin-Warsaw railway in an apparent attempt to encircle Lwow. Advances of up to 31 miles were registered by the 1st Ukrainian army in the first three days of its offen sive along the southeastern invas ion route to Berlin. More than 600 towns and villages were liberated, including Kamionka (Kamenka) and Krasne, 21 miles north and 25 miles east of Lwow, one of the greatest communications hubs in Europe. The German command hurled 100 to 200 tanks at a time against the! Soviets in a desperate attempt tc stem the onslaught, but Konev's army forced them into retreat with withering blasts of fire from mobile artillery batteries and pounded on, completely rupturing two enemy de fense lines. The new offensive put the Soviets on the march toward the Baltic and Berlin along a 600-mile front, with other red armies driving to within eight miles of Brest Litovsk, 30 miles of Bialystok and 108 miles of Warsaw and widening their front in Latvia to 6. miles. Konev, taking over command of the 1st Ukrainian army from Mar shal Gregorp K.
