The battle of the Rhineland
soon may become the battle for
the Ruhr.
Troops of the Canadian First
Army have advanced two more
miles and now are threatening
the northern approaches to one
of Germany's richest treasures—
z* the factories of the Ruhr valley.
General Creaar’s soldiers
have put the new offensive in-
to high gear. They’ve cut
through weakening German res-
istance in the flooded Rhine-
f-v land.
The mosl important gain
has been the rutting of the
east-west Coch to Calcar
highway. That shakes the
German grip on both fort-
ress cities. Gorh is being at-
<ft tacked from three sides.
To the south, another Cana-
dian s|)carhead is threatening a
third German town.
Cnrros|x>ndents at the front
say the Canadians have taken
i% hundreds of prisoners — many
of them dazed and bewildered by
yesterday's air barrage.
British and Scottish troop.- al-
so found the going easier. They
advanced two miles, bayonet!ing
jQ their way into two German
towns beyond the Reich forest
English Tommie- found one
German weak -pot. They cut in
behind the crack Nazi 1 Kith Pan-
zer division, and rolled almost
* four miles before they were
^ stopped bv strong German fire.
Although there is no indica-
tion that American fighters and
bombers will maintain yester-
day's pace over the western bat-
~ tlefront — our planes have poun-
w ded Inner Germany hard Satur-
day.
General Jimmy Doolittle -ent

ers over the Reich to pour
Ttofhba on the rail network city
of Frankfurt on-thc .Main. Doo-
little'' airmen Ingled out Frank
furl because it controls a great
many of Germany's transport
ime i" the wi stern front.
German radio report- said
A Allied air formation- were
flying over Ati-lria — proli-
ahly from Italy.
Another German broadcast
claims Nazi torix-do planes and
U-Ixiats have sunk at least IS
& Allied merchant vessels and
” warships outside the Russian
|xirt of Murmansk.
The Allies neither confirm
;mr deny the Germany claim
Hut the British admiralty re*
A |xirts a Tilg.convov has made the
^ round-trip voyage front England
to Russia and that four German
suits and throe planes probably
were destroyed in a bottle with
U-boat packs.
On the Russian front, the Ger-
^ man high command ay Red
army troops have broken into
the besieged Silesian steel city
of Breslau and have captured
the road center of Sagan farth-
er north.
4ft In the east, as In the west,
the air war really seems to
lie dominating llilng-. Mo-
ron says the Red nil- farce

greatest campaign- of the

Though the Journal's views

Yalta conferenee, that Allied
troops probably will land along

In Yanks' Bodies
CLEVELAND (UP) -Demo-
cratic congressman John Coffee
of Washington charges that Am-
erican supplies shipped to Spain
are — as he puts it — "returning
in the bodies of American sold-
iers.”
Representative Coffee, the au-
thor of a house resolution call-
ing for a break-off of diplomatic
relations with Spain, said he has
given the state department docu-
mental./ proof of his charges.
“It Mill ilo not good to de-
feat the Nazis in Germany
it Me do not defeat them in
Spain,” he told the Cleve-
land city club. “Right now.

ness I- i»m tied hy German

Representative Coffee charac-
terized assistant secretaries
James Clement Dunn and Gen-
eral J. C. lb lines as the "chief
appeasers" in the state depart-
ment. He said these two men
were resuonxible for mainten-
ance of diplomatic relations with
Spain.

LONDON (UP) — A Ber-
lin iiroadeast quotes Japan-
c-e lii-a(ii|uarters in Tokyo
a- announcing an American
invasion of the Bonin Is-
lands. The report says the
Yanks were repulsed when
they iitteiupted to land ear-
ly Saturday morning. The
Bonin- are about liHO miles
south of Tokyo and are
north of the Volcanoes,
The Japanese are seeing inva-
sion.. in every wisp of smoke
that rises from their battered
island empire.
One Tokyo paper says that the
American- may land next right
on the Japanese homeland. It
even identifies the place of the
predicted Allied invasion as the
Bo.-o peninsula — the western
aim of Tokyo Bay, which is the
-ite of the big Yokosuka naval
base.
The paper implies that Admir-
al Mitscliers two-day-old carrier
attack on the Jufanese capital
is only the opening blow in the
inevitable American invasion of
Japan
Again Saturday American car-
rier plane- -buttled back and
forth from their carriers ami
