Germans were not committing
all their available ' strength
against the bridgehead because
they were wary of possible cross
ings at other points.
The biggest concentration ot
German tanks yet threatening
the bridgehead were sighted yes
terday around the village of
Staktharinen, due east of
Remagen. and between the Amer
ican lines and the superhighway
to the Ruhr. The number of
tanks seen was only about 150
or 200, however.
The capture of Honnef pro
vided a firm northern anchor
for the bridgehead into which
men and material streamed
across two bridges to reinforce
the .70,000 -men the Germans
said already were there.
Town Captured
Moving forward through the
foretd hills east of the Rhine
in a dawn attack, the Americans
captured the town of St.
Cathartmen, four miles north
east of Lini and seven miles di
recllv east of a large bend in
the river. The infantry moved
on btvond less than two miles
from the Ruhr-Frankfurt on the
main superhighway. Kretien
houi, five miles east of the
Rhine, was cleared and Kalen
born was entered.
A Berlin broadcast declared
German piar.es scored direct hits
t on the Remagen bridge over the
Rhine and on a pontoon bridge
nearby but a frontline dispatch
said the Ludendorff bridge still
was functioning at .9:30 a. m.
battlefront time today.
Indians Clear
Mandalay of Japs
PAGODA HILL, Mandalay,
March 14 W) Mandalay was
rapidly being cleared of the
Japanese today as infantry, ar
tillery and tanks of the Indian
19th division smashed their way
through the southern part of the
city.
Tanks and artillery, firing
point blank, blew up nests of
Japanese in the business and
residential sections 800 feet be
low this vantage point.
Japanese infantry, - falling
back from building to building,
were dropping under automatic
rifle fire.
Threat to Nazi
Positions Grows
HOME, March 14 OP) The
threat to German positions in
V e r g a t o, important highway
stronghold 14 miles southwest
of Bologna, was intensified to
day by strong fifth army patrols
which yesterday wormed their
way to a point north of the
town.
Vergato, astride the main
highway from Pistoia to Bolog
na, previously was closely men
aced by fifth army forces mov-
ing up from south, east and
west.

shoving, pulling, trampling mess
of humanity.
THE cigarette girl draws back
with a frightened expression,
kicks shut the drawer under the
counter and says: "There aren't
any cigarettes. There won't be
anv more today."
The deal is off. A moron
could see that.
A LITTLE discreet inquiry
among the eager, but balked,
customers, clears tilt mystery.
It seems that the hotel tobacco
counter is in the habit of putting
a little dribble of the precious
smokes on sale at odd moments
throughout the day. The time
chosen for launching the sale is
when the lobby is practically
empty, and the idea seems to be
that if these times are picked the
girl will stand a better chance of
coming out of the rush alive and
all in one piece.
But the customers are nobody's
fools either. Studying the habits
of their quarry, as an astute
hunter studies the habits of the
wild game, they' have got onto
the system and at likely hours
they secrete themselves in dark
corners and behind pillars and
when the first sale is made they
rush in for the kill.
It is to this low estate that the
lot of the cigarette smoker has
fallen in these parlous days.
