For more than a week now people on this side of the Atâ€" lantic have been trying to find out what country now occupied Smolensk, a city on the road to Moscow. The German high command announced Fireman Are Still Fireless the capture of Smolensk over a week ago, but today they concede, in a roundâ€"about way, that the Russians are still in possession of the city. Part of the German communiques state that the Russians are fighting ferociously in attempts to break through the German forces that have them surrounded. It is explained by the Germans that the bitterness of the fighting was largely due to the inâ€" ability of the Russian troops to get a real picture of the hopeless situation they were in due to lack of communiâ€" cations.
