mm TLOSS TO NAZIFORCES Enemy South of Seine Vir tually Stripped of Tanks, Guns, Mortars, Transport By Henry T. Gorrell (UP War Correspondent) On the Western Front, France, Aug. 23. (U.PJ Authoritative military sources said today that the German army in France is in a "complete tail spin" as a re sult of the wide-open allied mili tary tactics and apparently has "lost all capability of further of fensive action." A spokesman, reviewing the operations of the past month which transformed stalemate in to rout, said that there were two On JEWELRY, CAMERAS and MUSICAL INSTRU MENTS.

J X v A3 if - The famous old stage play, "Up in Mabel's Room" is on the screen at the Craterian theatre next Sunday, starring Marjorie Reynolds, Dennis O'Keefe, Gail Patrick and Charlotte Greenwood. major factors behind the allied success: 1. A gamble by the Americans "in view of the delicate supply problem." 2. A "gross miscalculation" by the Germans of tlie strength of U. S. armored forces available for the scythe-like sweep which sealed off Brittany and now is enveloping Paris. Yankees Gambled "It can be said that we gam bled to a certain extent, espec ially In view of the delicate sup ply problem," the spokesman said. "But in the main our strat egy was boldly premeditated, whereas the Germans put all their eggs in one basket in'coun terattacking in the direction of Avranches. "The failure of this counter attack and the Germans' gross miscalculation of the strength of the United States armored forces available to move southeastward and subsequently on the north ward sweep proved fatal." Strong United States forces are converging upon the Import ant ports of Brest,' St. Nazaire, and Lorient on the Brittany pe ninsula and the new drive to ward the northwest directly threatens the great seaport of Le Harve. Hence, by the time the storms develop in the English channel, harbors other than Cherbourg should be available to allied shipping. Equipment Lost The capture of enemy organi zational equipment stranded in side our lines by the swift move ment of battle is regarded by some as even more important than the great bag of prisoners. It still is possible that the total bag of prisoners in the Falaise-Argentan sacks will to tal close to 100,000 in the opin ion of some military quarters. The Germans south of the Seine have been virtually strip ped of tanks, guns, mortars, and transport. Prisoners include the commanding general of a Ger man army corps and his entire staff. The general revealed that his predecessor was killed by bombing near St. Lo, scene of the great armored break-through last month. The germans at best are be lieved capable of rallying 10 or 15 divisions for the defense of Paris. Disorganization shown by the number of high ranking Ger man officers found racing thru the countryside smack into our lines indicates that the Germans have no future military plan in France, hence current allied op erations may affect the entire course of the war.
