The objcctive is $150,000,000 higher than lhat set for the victory loans in June, 194i. and February this year. The frst and second victory loans-each for $0o0,000,000—‘tl-e January. i940, 5200100900 war lcan and the September, 1940. $300.000-°00 Wat loan, all were over-subscribed.

Mr. Ilsley has stressed that itn addition to the new and heavier taxation Canadians are Carfylllfl at present, greater support must be given victory loans and the pur- chum of war savings stamps if costs o-f the war are to be m“.

In a brief statement today, G.

i War Situation Last N

(By Kirke L. Simpson. Associated Press War Analyst)

The Russian last-ditch atand at Stalinkfld- dflflibfll by the Nfllifi as "embiticre " and "suicidal," has thrown Hitler off schedule at least another day.

The fact must be that the Nani attempt to storm the city streets from the northwest was more "suicidal" than the Russian defence.

Geruian casualties inevitably were heavier than those of Russian defenders who first contained the twin thrusts in a house-to-house bat- tle, then drove the attackers out. In close quarter of that type, the at- tacker invariably pays a heavier casualty price several times over the dc- fenders.

I I I I I I

Stalingrad ls so certainly proven now both a. symbol and a strategic pivot which Hitler must have at any price that it is a fair guess he is lashing his generals and troops to outmatch the Russians in suicidal de- termination. Yet that first repulse tended to confirm the Impression that when the attack reached the street-lighting stage, the odds against the

lessened rather than increased.

The enemy could not bring to hear in such close action and so re- stricted a manoeuvre field his dive-bombers or tank superiority. Man to man, the Russians stood him off. Only by throwing overwhelmingly sup- erior manpower at tcrrible cost can the city be reduced.

I U I I

London has forwardbd l. report from Moscow that at the supreme oment, orders to counter-attack, not to stand and die where they fought, were issued to all Russian units in Stalingrad. They stressed that every house or hill regained meant time lost to Hitler. There were also Moscow reports of reinforcements from central Siberia pouring into the battle along the Don and Volga.

It is too late for Russian counter pressure far to the north to in- fluence greatly the trend of the Stalingrad battle. It has long been too late for Anglo-American second-front assault from the west to ease pressure on Russia at that point.

Reinforcements From Siberia

Part of Lost Positions Retrieved By Heroic Stalingrad Garrison.

MOSCOW. Sept. lil-tsaturdayl-(AIU-German tank and infantry forces smashed into Stalingrad’! streets yesterday for the third time and Russian troops still are trying to eject them, the Soviets announced early today.

Part of the lost positions were recaptured by the Russian garrison. a communique said in describing the action thus:-

"On tho northwestern outskirts of Stalingrad fierce actions were fought. On one sector where the Illtlerites concentrated large infantry and tank forces they succeeded at a cost of heavy losses In taking pos- session of several streets.

“Part of the lost positions were retrieved in the course of the day."

Dispatches from the tortured industrial city on the Volga told of housc-to-house close-combat fighting while hundreds of Nazi cannon and airplanes hurled explosives into the ' positions,

Red army reinforcements from Siberia were reported in action

against the Nazis.

The communique said numerous German attem ts to capture a commanding hil site had been rc- pulsed by the Stalingrad garrison ivhlch destroyed 26 Nazi tanks, 49 motor vehicles. and "annihilated about two battalions 0f enemy in-

ntry.

The grim battle for that hill still continues, the Russians said.

1n the Caucasus the Russians said counter-attacking Red Army units had knocked cut 26 German tanks and killed more than 1,000 Gelunans in the long-contested struggle in the Terek Valley of the Mozdck area, less than B) miles from the Gromy Oil Fields.

To the west in tho Black Sea area the Russians said a Soviet marine unit had wiped out anoth- er German infantry battalion in a three-day fight sou-iheast of Nov- orossisk,

Russian l-roolpe fighting at Vor. onezh, 300 miles norhwest of stal- lngrad, were reported to have wiped out two Gennan batltalions in a-n offensive action.
