Situation Unchanged
The seventh army command
declared the situation remained
"unchanged" on the Riviera,
following American occupation
of Nice.
In the Alpine rcgipns along
the French-Italian frontier far
ther north, however, the Amer
icans entered the village of
Condamine, Chatclard, which
the Germans had !urncd in re
prisal for patriot activities.
From the devastated village
the Americans pushed along
mountain highways and paths
and made contact with enemy
outposts just northwest of near
by Lagache pass on the Italian
frontier, some 55 miles north
west of Nice.
On the west side of the Rhone
French elements were mopping
up scattered enemy pockets in
Pont St. Esprit, Bourg St. An

these towns were overrun or

of the retreating Germans.

Meanwhile on the northern
end of the long front the first

It was still too early to say
whether the Russians would be
able to sustain their attack in
this sector.
