dennes breakthrough. . I
in the east, from the present
tidemark of I the Russian advance
au the way ! back to Berlin, the
Germans have neither a defense
une comparable to the Siegfried
nor a natural : barricade compar-
abie to the Rhine and its wooded
hills. j fc :
The recent eastward movement

ground reserves from the west
front as well as possible reserve

derway for a last attempted stand
there. 1 -

Thus begins to unfold another
phase of the craft that was behind
Field Marshal Von Rundstedt's
Christmas breakthrough.
The offensive threw the Allies
off balance and it will take them
longer to take advantage of any
weakening of the western front
than it would have when all their
armies were1 on the offensive.
But there lis another basic fac
tor: the weather and terrain
As one Allied officer put it after
a review of the ground along and
behind the Rhine "even if the
Germans didn't have a single sol
dier there it would be hard going
over the next 50 miles at this time
of the year."

the kids shuffled and dealt the cards calnily seemingly unaware of
the curious assembly of mid-afternoon shoppers about them, f
Glee bets on the whole, as never

behind the Capitol building, when
two losers perched on the yellow

Colorful .and fantastic costume
combinations were paraded by
losers, outstanding ' among - them
being two fellowf in three-corner-
