(A) Three powerful German armored attacks have driven the U. 9. Seventh army troops back almost five miles to Weyerahelm, 6 'a miles north of naxt-menaced Strasbourg. But 70 mileB to the south the French First army struck fur-; iously northward on a 25 mile front from St. Amarin In the Vosgea to the Rhine river and scored additional advances, of three miles.

St. Amarin is 16 miles northwest of Mulhouse. The attack is still progressing, front dispatches said. The Germans reinforced with tanks charged from the center of their newly consolidated cross-Rhine bridgehead northeast; of Strasbourg. The fate of the Alsace capital apparently was at stake as doughboys battled furiously against up to 10,000 enemy troops.

The Germans hold solid ground on the Rhine west bank to within seven miles of Strasbourg and 10 miles from the city on the south. Weyerahelm ls on the railway halfway between Strasbourg and Haguenau. The new attacks appeared Intended to undercut the American stand north of the Haguenau forest where Seventh army men still held the Hatten line despite repeated assaults.
