PACE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON trap ON GERM'S SEVENTH ARMY (Continued from Page One) lean armored and Infantry spear heads sweeping in a 250-mile arc through Le Mans, converged up on the German flank and rear in a sudden twist to the north. This swing took the Americans through Alencon, Sees and Argentan, only 18 miles south of the Canadian first army five miles above Falaise and the gap began to close. Now the American armored "hammer" was beating the Ger mans against the Canadian-Brit ish anvil" below Len. Von Kludt Doomed Field Marshal Guenther von Kluge's defense of France south of the Seine appeared doomed as his forces squirmed under frightful punisnment to pun out through the suddenly narrowed gap. Practically all his escape roads toward tne seine were out. Al lied air forces were pouncing on every movement of the Ger mans, wrecking hundreds of ' locomotives and thousands of rail cars. Not a single wagon or Bicycle was immune from at tack from the swarms of air craft which buzzed over the bat tle area in endless processions. - Koads that remained open were under allied shellfire, and it appeared that only new Ger man armies could stem the Nor mandy tide. However, Von Kluge already had drawn on 40 of the 60 or 65 divisions he was believed to have had in France at the start of the invasion. British staff of ficers yesterday said the allies already had contacted 40 divi sions. Of these 15 already have been counted as destroyed or badly cut up in tne Deacnnead battles, the bt -. Lo breakthrough, the Brittany-sweep and the terrific oatues in the hedgegrows below Caen. Meanwhile, there still was no news of any allied operations east oi, remans toward Paris, nor from the spearhead which crossed the Loire three days ago ana sirucs souwward 1U miles. The allied trap, 30 or more miles deep, was 100 miles west of Paris, but it seemed unlikely Von . Kluge's shattered forces could put up any further de- lense, on an effective scale, of the 20,000 square mile - area through which the American whirlwind had swept in the past ue River Rev. and Mrsl' PeHlt a'nt '-i.it. dren left Tuewiav - far raiif ...i r. - t:.. . v., nuocBtt. rerai will be pastor of- church; Here hold ing services for the tabernacle uu pcuiur is cnosen is Rev George Jenson.

Prog ress here was one of the major strategic victories of the sum mer campaign, for the Germans had mounted massive counter attacks in futile attempts to de stroy this threatening wing of KOKossovsKy s forces. ' Rokossovsky's army group was pressing north and north westward on a 65-mile front from the Bug northwest of War saw. The important communi cations centers of Lomza, Os trow and Ostroleka lay within his grasp, and there are virtual ly no other large towns before the East Prussian frontier. At the same time, a soviet communique disclosed that the twin armies of Kokossovsky and Gen. G. F. Zakharov, whose mammoth drive to outflank War saw on a 100-mile front has reached almost the entire length of the Warsaw-Bailystok rail road, had cleared the Germans from more than 180 settlements northeast of the Polish capital, The Russians announced Gen. Andrei Yeremenko's second Bal tic army, now almost half way across Latvia, had killed or cap tured nearly 70,000 Germans in a month, boosting to 609,526 the nazi casualties inflicted in the summer offensive.
