The first army, aiming at the vital Huhr and Rhincland from Belgium, was near Liege, only bout 25 miles from Aachen in Germany, and was filtering through the rough Ardennes to ward one ot me weaner linns in German defenses. Lack Forcas The Germans needed 40 or SO divisions to hold all the Sieg fried line strongly forces which they apparently lacked and Eisenhower's step was intended to take full advantage of the wide-open possibility of keeping the Germans guessing until too late to shift their reserves. Whether the main blow would come across the level fields of the Dutch "appendix" province of Limburg, through the fortress chain around Liege, the Ar dennes forest, the Metz gap or the Belfort gap was left to the nazi imagination. The Germans, stiffening in ap parent desperation along the whole buffer front before the Siegfried line and the Rhine, were putting up their fiercest fight since Normandy along the Moselle river where Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's third army, battling into Metz, was 20 miles fro mthe west wall.

To a greater or less deeree, the alternative is fairly plain in almost every city in America AL READY. It is run-down res idence areas inside the city limits, with new and modern areas (designed according to what people demand in these modern days) growing up OUT SIDE the city limits. The result of this condition is loss of tax revenue not to mention an appearance of de terioration and failure that does no city any good that is begin ning to pinch in a great many places. Any city official, anywhere in America, will tell you that out of the LIMITED sources of tax revenue left to the cities it is be coming increasingly hard to get the money reauired to nrovide the necessary municipal services uch as sanitation, fire and police protection, etc. 'f'HERE are no figures more A surprising to the average citizen than those having to do with GROWING city ownership (through the process of tax fore closure) of residence property within city limits. It is a general condition, not confined to any one state or any one region. II It lsn t checked, the whole structure of municipal finance is likely to be upset. It's high time to begin doing some constructive thinking about It.

BULGARS DECLARE 1KSSU (Continued from Page One) of war on Bulgaria as a conse quence of her delaying tactics in getting out of the war. The Russians had accused the Bui: gars of harboring German ships in ineir ports. Fighting Reported Earlier Cairo disrjatches said fighting between Bulgars and trermans nad Broken out on the Serbian border.

Seeks Peace The Bulgarian government sought peace with the allies. 1 ne ttuigar - uerman clashes were apparently on a small scale and not a part of any con certed Bulgarian campaign against the Germans. Military experts in Tiro said that devel opments in the Balkan country bottled up some 200,000 Ger mans in Greece and southern Balkan areas.

Rails Destroyed Allied headquarters in Rome announced that rail routes along which the Germans are attempt ing to evacuate troops from Greece into Serbia and thence into Hungary have been de stroyed and Yugoslavia s -railways are so devastated that or ganized resistance to the Rus sian thrust toward the Adriatic will be impossible. A barrier has, in effect, been laid across the Balkans from the coast to Romania to prevent the possibility of any planned retreat back into Germany," an official announcement said. Attempting to set its house in order and satisfy the allies, the Bulgarian government an nounced the dissolution of the national assembly, banned all organizations having nazi or fascist tendencies and ordered the release of . all . allied . war prisoners. ; No Peace Moves, Says Roosevelt WASHINGTON,' Sept. 8 (JPf mere have been no peace over tures to the allies from inside Germany, President Roosevelt told his news conference today in response to a question.
