HARRY G. RAPP
last night that Germany must
flaht to tile death, echoed In the
'Museow dispatch that large num
bers of Germans, Including boys
and old men, were moved up to
the uoer lor a stand neiore tne
capital.
Siegfried Line Battered
Weukened by the withdrawal
of troops for the eastern front,
the Siegfried line was assaulted
in the west by ten or more Ameri
can divisions who edged steadily
into a 30-mile fortified zone.
There was growing Indication
of impending large-scale moves
in the west, as Hitler told his
people to accept "boundless mis
ery'' as the price of continued re
sistance. Berlin said tank-led
Americans attacked on a broad
front on both sides of Monschau
and that -Gen. Elsenhower had
massed 60 divisions, nearly hall
of them armored, all along the
western front for a forthcoming
full-scale offensive.
Yankees Score Gains '
Despite one of the most severe
snowstorms of the winter, more
than 100,000 U. S. First and Third
army troops hammered against
a 30-mlle section of the Siegfried
line in what may become a new
full-scale offensive.
The assault area extends from
the Monschau region belpw
Aachen to the Third army's
bridgehead across the Our river
into Germany, across the reich
frontier on both flanks and gen
erally In the area where Marshal
von Rundstedt massed for his
Ardennes push before Christmas.
By last night the American as
sault had scored gains up to four
miles, overrunning a number of
west wall outposts.
Freeze Aids Russians
The weather oh the eastern
front was described by Berlin as
"of the unimaginable fury of a
natural catastrophe." Lakes and
streams were frozen over, facili
tating Russian crossings.
Zhukov's officers were report
ed armed with maps of greater
Berlin area. Ills drive from the
north to cut off Pomeranla prov
ince from the rest of Germany
apparently was headed around
the capital. His center seemed
aimed -directly at Kustrin, im
portant rail center 41 miles east
of Berlin. His front Inside Ger
many had been extended to a
width of 160 miles.
Konigsberg Encircled
Konigsberg In East Prussia was
described as encircled, and the
Russians said German troops try
ing to break throuh to Elblne,
East Prussia Baltic oort, were re
pulsed. Marienwcder, Vistula es
tuary fortress city 34 miles south
west of Elbing, was captured.
London sources estimated 1,500,
000 German civilians and soldiers
were hemmed in or overrun by
Russians in the Junkers province.
The situation In Silesia, where
Marshal Konev's First Ukraine
army was reported by the Ger
mans advancing from an Oder
bridgehead, was shrouded in se
curity silence. There were indica
tions his troops were crossing the
Oder in strength for an advance
directly toward Berlin from the
southeast to supplement Zhukov's
ironiat assault. .
2nd Yank Invasion of
Luzon Seals Off Bataan

Fort Knox, Ky., and Capt, Win
ston Jones, an Oklahoman min
gled with Filipino guerrillas wild
ly greeting the invaders.
The Yanks of Lt. Gen. Robert
L. Eichelberger posed an imme
diate menace to prizej Olongapo
naval base in Subic bay by racing
11 miles inland the first day past
flag-waving Filipinos,' occupying
five towns and seizing an air
fieldthe 23rd air base won on
Luzon.
No Enemy Resistance
Suggesting how wide opon the
sector is to American conquest,
Filipinos told Associated Press
Correspondent James Hutehe
son that no enemy forces have
been stationed in the area since
1M42 nlthniiffh 300 nassed south-
Fillplno woman In one town with

Hutcheson disclosed that the

raided continuously en route to

Japanese Chance Lost
It is now too late lor the Japa
nese command to attempt what
General MacArtliur succeeded in
doing in December, 1941 pull
back dispersed and outnumbered
forces in a converging withdraw
al into rugged Bataan, where the
Americans held out for four
months.
Japanese soldiers In mountains
north of Bataan, including forces
trying to prevent the Americans
irom using Clark Held ana fori
Stotsenburg, cannot withdraw in
to Bataan. Neither can Japanese
in the central Luzon plains.
There may be other Japanese
In the Manila area. They are sep
arated by waters of Manila bay
from Bataan and the bay is pa
trolled by American planes which
pounded corregiojr ana cavue
naval base with i09 tons of ex
plosives Monday.
Japs Score In China.
It was entirely different story
in China.- Japanese imperial
headquarters claimed Nipponese
armies completed conquest of the
last 20 mile stretch of the Canton
Hankow railway and captured a
U. S. 14th c.'r force air field at
Suichwan in western Kwangsi
province of southc-n China.
Seizure of the railway would
solidify Japanese positions on the
south China coast, where a U. S.
invasion is anticipated, aud give
imperial forces a 1,000-mile com
munication line from the Manchu
rian arsenal to Canton.
An unofficial and unconfirmed
Japanese broadcast claimed Nip
ponese planes sank two British
transports and probably a de
stroyer in the bay of Bengal near
Akvab, Burma.
Allied aircraft ruthlessly pound
ed Japanese in central Burma to
cut off possibility of escape.
Tokyo Again Raided.
Tokyo reported the B-29 harass
ing raids during the night on In
dustrial Tokyo. The Nippon-controlled
Peiping radio commented
superfort raids on Japan have be
come lally routine, "Just like ra
tioning." "
Japan's Dome! news agency re
ported the death of five more
generals. In the past eight
months Tokyo has announced the
deaths of approximately 110 rank-
ing army and naval officers.
China-based American; Libera,
tors rained incendiaries on Han
kow yesterday, starting fires in
docks and warehouses. A Tokyo
broadcast said as a result of regu- ,

"come to a standstill ,with all the
