AMERICAN NINTH
ARMY SMASHES TO
RHINE AT HOMBURG
Gretl Euen Knipp

in Artillery Range,
Paris, March 6. (UP)—
American Ninth army tank
forces smashed to the Rhine
at Homburg yesterday, bring-
ing the great Easen Krnpp ar-
senal within artillery range as
Berlin asserted that other
forces had attempted an inva-
sion of the <Rahr at Dosseldorf.
The German report remain-
ed unconfirmed by any Allied
source.
It claimed that American
tank forces had crossed the
Rhine on the sosthern bridge
at Duesseldorf and had been
repulsed.
The Nazi DNB agency said
that preparations were being
made -for another cleasing
northwest of Duesseldorf,
where Lieut. Gen. William H.
Simpson’s troops were said to
be bringing up rubber assault
boats to force the river.
The battle of Cologne flam-
ed toward a climax which
field dispatches said may be
reached within the next 24
hours.
First army troops storming
the city broke through Ger-
man defenses for gains of
nearly four miles on a seven-
mile front and were only two
miles from Cologne’s ancient
gates.
The Canadian First army in
the north hammered fiercely at
a German position protecting
the e.iemy’s last escape bridge
across the Rhine.
Late last night the Canadi-
ans had fought their way to
the Rhine near Vynen, seven
miles from the Wesel bridge,
against fierce resistance. Poor
flying weather favored the
Nasi retreat during the day,
with a majority of Allied tac-
tical planes grounded for the
first time in 10 days.
The American assault on the
southern flank of the west
bank German - position how-
ever, met only rear guard ac-
tions. The Germans were in

such a state of confusion that
at many places they did not
know their lines had been
overrun.
The .Ninth army’s security
blackout, although slightly re-
laxed, paid dividends when
an enemy column marched
through Hoers without know-
ing it had been captured. The
column was ambushed by the
84th division, which took
more than 1,000 prisoners and
huge amounts of equipment.
Simpson’s forces were esti-
mated to be hurling 1,000
tanks against the Germans. A
Ninth army spokesman stated
authoritatively that American
casualties were “extremely—
very remarkably—low, with a
particularly low percentage of
killed to wounded.’’ This per-
centage was estimated at one
killed to nine wounded? The
wounds mostly are from snail
arms fire and do not prove
fatal
The greatest advance of tha
day in the siege of Cologne
was made by Maj. Gen. Terry
Allen’s famed 104th "Timber-
wolf” division, ■whih speared
ahead almost four miles into
Lovenich to engage the Ger-
man defenders in pitched
street battle.

Baltic harbor and toppling the
bastion of Pyritz, 22 miles be-
low Stettin. Other Russian col-
umns reached the low Oder at
Nipperwieae, 25 miles south-
southwest of Stettin.
Marshal Gregory K. Zhu-
kov’s first .White Russian army
which had been operating un-
der secret wraps, played the
major role in the brilliant push
by sweeping to the sea in the
Kolberg area, 55 miles east of
Schweinemunde, astride the
entrance to Stettin bay. Zhu-
kov’s forces also were carry,
ing out the. drive on Stettin

(By Cherry Ruth Harrison)
Dedicated to my brother, Lt.
Hebert Harrison.
When the clouds are hanging
heavy,
And tbe rain beats on the roof.
While the damp falls on the
levy.
I’ll be thinking of you.
When the shadows of night
doth fail,
And tbe day’s work is through,
It’s again I then recall,
To be thinking of you.
I will find you in my dreams.
In your uniform of blue;
When the bells of victory ring,
I’lj be proud end loving you.
There’s longing in my heart.
For the sailor brother of mine;
Though we are many miles
apart,
ni think of you all the time.
HI be listening for your foot-
steps
And for your voiee. PU listen,
too;
You’ll be thinking of me per-
haps.
While I wait and pray for you.
