‘ The last outposts of Hitler's rooflela Reich are groaning under moun- ting Allied-Russian pressure out, west and south.

The foot that the strain is fut rising lo abrasi- ing tension is too clear tn be missed. That front cannot be more than thin- ly manned anywhere.

LONDON. Sept. l0 — (CP) - The British 2nd Army and the American lst Army linked 11D 0°‘ day on the Albert Canal north of the Belgian city of Hasselt and American forces drove the open- ing wedge of liberation into Lux- embourg to highlight the Allied eastward march toward Germany along a IOO-mile front.

(The Germans asserted the Arn- ericans had launched a great drive all along a lib-mile front from east of Liege to the southern bor- der of Luxembourg aimed at piercing the heart of the indus- trial Rhineland.)
