War Will Go Into 1945 Is Belief Along Western Front Say U.P. Heads After Survey By Hugh Balllie President of the United Press, nd Virgil Pinkley, United Press Vice-President for Europe Copyright 1944, by United Press London, Oct. 27 (U.PJ A weep of come 400 miles Just completed along the western front from Holland to the Ar dennes shows the Germans fighting everywhere with grim determination. The general be lief Is that the war will con tinue Into next year. Our survey of the fronts by plane, jeep and afoot showed us that one or more great Allied offensives undoubtedly are be ing prepared in case the weath er slows the war to the difficult, arduous progress of a winter campaign. Everywhere there is a constant, unrelenting build-up We have seen the fighting in Germany, France, Holland and Belgium. Know They're Licked The Germans, once they be-l come prisoners, usually have low morale and their statements indicate a general belief that they're licked. But the overall resolve of the German military effort obviously is to continue the war in Europe as long as possible. While the quality of their troops has greatly deteriorated and their ammunition and sup plies are steadily decreasing, the Germans everywhere along the lengthy western battle line appear still to be plenty tough. Barring some major internal development in Germany, the outlook is for the war to con tinue through the winter. It is hard to find any high military official who will now predict a speedier ending. Among the low er ranks, there is a general ex pectation that the Germans, tak ing full advantage of bad weath er and the lengthened Allied supply lines, will be able to maintain thsir armies along the Jap Battleship Sunk by U. S. Fleet TO f.icnw lelrphoto) This is a Japanese battleship of the Yamashlro class, ones of which was sunk by Amerlrun surface ships and aircraft during decisive battle In the Philippines. The American Third and Seventh Fleets sank or dam aeed at least 30 Jap warships, including 10 battleships and three aircraft carriers to win one of the greatest naval battles of the war.

Of course, nobody pre tends to have the prophetic an swer. Usually the first question asked of the stranger arriving n a front-line outpost or a rear area base, especially If that stranger is a newspaperman, is: "Say! How long do you think they can hold out?" Aachen Example Aachen illustrated the man ner in which the Germans, in most cases, are ready for a stub born, house-tQ-house, yard-to-yard defense. The Dunkerque battle which has been almost forgotten, though it still is con tinuing, affords another illustra tion. Yet another example is the situation around Metz where a month ago the Americans were bombarding the forts and pre paring to storm the city. The progress around Metz still is of the first world war trench warfare proportions. An other example is the battle of Arnhem which has still to be won. But coming Allied offensives are looming menacingly over the Germans. They don't know when or where they'll be hit next. When we witnessed the clos ing hours of the Aachen defense, the Germans still were fighting obstinately at one end of the town.- ' - Arriving at the front lines of this war is a variable experi ence.

STORE PAY LESS AND DRESS BETTER Dressy Dresse Arriving Daily All Sizes Reasonably Priced to avoid casting a silhouette on the skyline and peer out with the utmost caution at the Ger man works which seem remark ably close. At other points, such as Aachen, you see just a sign in English saying: "Entering Germany;" then another sign: "Shortest route" to New York and San Francisco straight ahead via Berlin." You pass de serted homes with smashed windows and furniture scattered around. Nobody is visible, not even a lonely rooster or cat. This is Front You ask a smiling boy with a carbine and a German luger in his belt, also a wad of tobac co in his cheek: "Where's the front?" He replies with a jerk of his thumb- "This is it." As we stood on a wooded hillside, at the head of trolley tracks down which trolley cars cram med with explosives had been coasted into German strong holds, we could hear the voices of American kids in the slit trenches just ahead chattering back and forth. "Hey, Jack! Are you all right?" And the answer: "Sure, Bill. Doing fine. The city itself looked intact although many buildings have been bombed, artillery-blasted and burned. Their windows stare vacantly. However, some buildings still stood up boldly, especially one with a huge Red Cross painted on the roof. Grace f u l church spires still stood. Two-thirds of the city was quiet. That portion was already oc cupied occupied in scientific advance, house by house, bor ing through walls carefully, cautiously mopping up, without any life-wasting Hollywood epi sodes. A short time before, an Amer can patrol had brought in a group of prisoners all of whom said they were over 35 years of age. The gpound was littered with German propaganda leaflets dropped from planes the night before. These ridiculed the American war loan drives, ad vised Americans that women loved 'usty men, not cripples, carried the old wheeze that Americans were fighting Brit ain's war, and threatened that "now that j'ou have come to our frontiers, we shall show you how we fight." GIs Amused These pamphlets were neatly done. Some looked exactly like letters scribbled by soldiers to their wives. However, the only effect they had on the GIs was amusement. Those who had the time to spare, were busily en gaged in collecting them as souvenirs. Americans' morale, like their fighting, is at a peak. It is not dampened by chilling rains and the soggy soil from which water seeps into newly dug slit trenches and by occa sional short rations. The GIs' sense' of humor was shown by one sign, erected over a new trench: "Private. Keep out." ' At some points along the line, the Germans are sending back "return mall" which makes you look around carefully for shel ter, Just In case. This is partic ularly true kround Metz, also In the woods south of Aachen. Farther north, especially in Hol land, they are fighting harder and tt:rowlng in occasional counter-attacks, evidently anticipat ing a further effort to turn their line from the north and break into the Ruhr.
