PHONE COHOES 511 Nazis Lose 800 Dead in Futile Charges West of Moscow Berlin Expects Reel Offensive By THK ASSOCIATED I'BBSS London --The suffered 800 dead in two futile charges mgainst. an important height on the northwest front yesterday, Moscow announced early today, while the Berlin radio said Russian transport movements along the huge front had completed and "a Soviet offensive now is to be expected almost any day." Three German battalions of 2,400 S. S. Elite troops, supported by seven tanks, "tried to retrieve an important height which our guards captured at the end of June," said the midnight bulletin in describing sharp -fight which presumably occurred in the Vellltie Luki sector, ninety miles from the Latvian border.

Strong Russian fire from all types of arms forced the enemy to retreat in the first attack. Axis attempt was met by a Red Army counterattack which the eaemy back again with heavy losses." In addition to more than 800 enemy troops killed, the Russians said four of the seven Nazi supporting tanks were crippled. The bulletin, recorded by the Soviet monitor, also told of heavy Russian air attacks Friday night on Kerch and Temryuk, Crimean aMd Caucasian ports on the south- srn end of the long front. Several German ships out of a jcollection of transports and motor barges were sunk at Temryuk, the Kussians said, and all the Soviet planes returned to their bases. The consistent raid on ports in the Kerch Strait area may foreshadow Soviet land operations aimed at smashing the narrow Axis bridgehead in the Caucasus where the German high comcnand declared yesterday that Axis forces had advanced in the lagoon area below Temryuk "despite difficult terrain conditions and counter defense."

Hoover said yesterday the chances of a settlement were "favorable" after his return from a Martinique conference with the Vichy French high commissioner, Adm. Georges Robert, who had requested a discussio- on terms for changing French authority in the island colony. The negotiations will continue, Hoover said. Hoover proceeded to Martinique to consult with Robert Saturday concerning the latter's offer to transfer his authority as high com- missiooner of the French Caribbean possessions to some other French official. It is understood that Hoover sought a clarification of the admiral's offer, and at the same time made it clear that the American government is not disposed to engage in any bartering agreement with him over his apparent willingness to capitulate.

If Robert wants to give up his job because he is fearful of a revolt against his rule in Martinique and Guadeloupe, thie government is prepared to extend its good offices in facilitating the transfer of his authority to some other responsible French official who will be acceptable to the United States and the French National Committee of Liberation. However, the American government is not prepared to have any conditions Imposed on the United States by Robert as the price for his capitulation. Robert, in his offer to capitulate, said he would Insist on two conditions. First, that the United States guarantee the sovereignty of the French Caribbean possessions. Secondly, that this government promise vention there will be no inter- by American forces in THURSDAY IS BAD LUCK DAY Chicago, those possessions.
