NEW ENTERPRISE HINTED AT
Unofficial Reports From

WASHINGTON. OCT, lO.--The
smashing victoty OF the Anglo
American forces north OF ST. Quen.
tin may be paving the way for early
invasion Of Germany itself.
Striking hints OF a wholly new en-
terprisc, directed at the upper Rhine
valley. have come from unofficial
quarters in France, and they follow
repeated reports from switzerland
that the civil populations Of the
Rhine valley towns were being re-.
moved.
Officers here regard these reports
as highly significant, They give them
particular weight because 1t now
appears that the enemy will be
forced far back all along the front
in northern France and Belgium
within the next few days. While the
constant hammering is kept up in
the north to pin the German armies
there, it might be possible. it was
said, to deliver new stroke on the
Alsace- Lorraine front that might
swiftly develop into an invasion OF
Germany itself
