Lovelady of Soddy, all moving swiftly on a day of brilliant sunlight and weather ideal for Allied planes. In an earlier dispatch from Eupen, five miles from the German border, White had told the cold, hostile attitude of the citizens of that town. Although pen appears in Belgium on most maps, it is in a section officially attached by the Nazis to Germany after their conquest of 1940. White said the predominant language in the town was German. "For the first time since the invasion began we got none of the howling welcome to which we had become so accustomed all across France and he said.

met no outright or active hostility from the civilians, but certainly Hre is nothing of the feeling of liberated town about this It was somewhere east of Eupen that Hodges later sent, his armored forces smashing into Germany proper. The German city of Aachen, whose defenses are a stronghold of the Siegfried line, is about 10 miles north and slightly east of Eupen. Aachen was reported under American artillery fire. North of Liege other First Army troops slashed through the great Belgian fortress of Eben Emael in an attack which carried within a mile of the Dutch frontier four miles from Maastricht. Eben Emael, which the Belgians had considered virtually impregnable, fell to the Nazis in a sensational coup at the outset of their 1940 invasion.

American fortes, spreading through the countryside from Leige, captured Spa, 17 miles southeast of Liege and famous for its mineral springs. In Blocked Approachways Cause Lakes io Form At Street Crossings Street Commissioner Donald S. lurer had men at work yester- cleaning flotage from approch- ways to storm sewer traps in many sections of the borough. The occasional downpours of rain created small lakes which submerged crossings and caused great inconvenience to pedestrians. Garage men reported a busy day.

Trouble with windshield wipers seemed epiedemic. Judge Overrules Stale Milk Commission NORRISTOWN, Sept. 12- Action of the State Milk Control commission in refusing a license to dairies, Mont Clare, was overruled and set aside in an opinion today by Judge Harold G. Knight of the Montgomery county Common Pleas court. The commission's order was based on the finding that dairies had failed properly to account and pay for milk purchased from a large number of his producers.

The citation, however, was not issued upon the recorded complaint of any of the producers, none of whom appeared in the proceedings, but by the commission itself apparently of its own volition, after an examination by its investigators of books id records. World War I the German army's general headquarters were there. Gen. Eisenhower made it plain the Americans were going to storm into Germany in strength. The British Second Army deepened its dent in enemy defenses above the Albert canal and sent one spearhead digging well into Holland.

The British 49th division operating under the Canadian First Army command captured bomb and shell-battered Le Havre, France's second port, 36 hours after the start of a crashing assault on its German garrison. American forces assaulting the Siegfried line made their advances rapidly but not easily. Field dispatches told of close-quarter fighting all along the line. In the thrust into Germany northwest of Trier the Yanks were pressing so close on the heels that a German mortar shell landed within 30 yards of the commander of an American armored division, killing one officer and wounding three other men. The general, however, was not hurt.

From the British Second Army came fresh evidence of the extremes to which the enemy is being pushed in his search for manpower. The Tommies in northern Belgium encountered Nazi troops which originally were sent to man the Siegfried line defenses, but were hastily shifted in an effort to hold the British at the Albert canal. The total of German prisoners taken by all of Gen. armies since f)- day rose far past the 300,000 mark. There was no indication that Third Army had yet linked up in force with Lt.

Gen. Alexander M. French-American Army closing in on the Belfort gap at the corner of France, Switzerland and Germany. Allied communique from Rome said American 7th Army troops driving northwest of Vesoul had reached Port Sur five miles distant, against heavy German resistance. Vesoul is 32 miles west of Belfort gap.

into whose extensive fortifications the Nazis were reported to have thrown strong reinforcements in recent days. It was estimated today that some 20.000 German troops were left stranded in central and southwestern France by the juncture of the Third and Seventh armies. In building up their holdings across the Albert canal in Belgium the British captured Hechtel and Peer, winning domination of a ten- mile stretch of the main highway in that sector. Tommies under Lt. Gen.

Sir Miles C. Dempsey moved northward and liberated the village of Petit Brogel, three miles above Peer, in further consolidation of a position from which one thrust already has been pushed into Holland. All along their steadily-expanding perimeter the British were beating back local counterattacks. But the Germans, while making it sticky going for the frontline troops, were not in a position to use sufficiently cohesive force to delay development of Dempsey's plan according to schedule.
