FLAT-OUT RUSH
NAZI FRONTIER THE GOAL
LONDON, September 3. ■ "General Dempsey's armour, like a mighty seven-league-booted robot, is rushing flat-out for the inner frontier of Hitler's fortress," says Reuters correspondent in a dispatch written last night. "Call it a race, a gallop, a stampede—nothing is too strong to convey the speed and the inevitability of this massive, mile-eating machine. "The momentum of our advance in the last few days has not relaxed for a second. Thousands of prisoners, including Mongols, Japanese, Swiss, Russians, 'Austrians, and S.S. men sweep by in a never-ending stream of carts and cars. "More than 3000 Germans opposed us at Arras and a similar number at Aubigny, but they were unable to do (anything except fire their rifles, which were as effective as pea-shooters against our tanks. "The flying-bomb sites are in history, many miles behind us. We over- | ran a number of them between j Amiens and Dovillens. While our armour is streaming ahead many, pockets of Germans are lying behind in woods, fields, and ditches. They come out at night and shoot civilians who deny them food."
