In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
DETAILED news from France is
scarce again as this is written
always a fairly good sign that
iomethlng big may be in the
wind. (Big developments almost
trip on each other's heels these
days.)
THE possibility of a German
stand on the Seine and the
Maine is definitely out. Both
river lines are firmly in our
grasp.
Not only that but American
armored forces have crossed the
Aisne, the next river line to the
north, in two places at Soissons
and again about 50 miles to the
east. The British are over the
lower Seine and have pushed
about 25 miles to the north.
The Germans say they have
evacuated Rouen.
THE natural guess is that a
flank attack on the rocket
coast is in the making, with the
Americans swinging around to
the east in another wide, encircl
ing blitz sweep and the British
moving directly up the coast.
Watch it.

Nazis Flee Up

ROME. Sept. 1 (AP) Sharp
attacks by American tanks and

valley of southern France today
and the Germans fled north west
at too speed with the pursuing al

Apparently despairing of ever
getting their 19th army out of
southern France as an 'intact

A report from Gen. Patch's

routes was mounting seadily.

LONDON, Sept. 1. ( AP) The
fifth anniversary of world war II
today found British-American and
Russian armies driving toward a
junction In the heart of Germany
only a little more than 700 miles
apart.
In less than three months of
concentrated blows from the east
and west the allies have inflicted
an enormous casualty toll on the
nazi war machine more than 1,
500,000 killed, captured or wound
ed, according to the best available
figures.
The prospect of military disast
er, plus political catastrophe, now
mocks the ambitions of Adolf Hit
ler, who five years ago sent his
armored legions crashing into
Poland and started a globe-girdling
world conflict.
When Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower's armies landed in Nor
mandy June 6 they were 1,400
miles from the Russian forces be
fore Mogilev.
Now the Russians are at the
