GEN. EISENHOWER'S HEAD
QUARTERS. July l0.-The SUI
preme commander of the Allied
Expeditionary Forces today
warned against the growing op-
timism prevelant throughout the
world and predicted long and bit
ter fighting before the final VIC
tory in Europe.
Enumerat ting the long list Of Allied
successes in Russia. Africa, Italy and
France since he first came to Europe
at the fall of Tobruk two years ago,
Gen. Eisenhower said the trend
toward overoptimism was under
standable But he emphasized 1t
was the duty of people in responsible
position to state the facts.
Overoptimism doesn't take into
consideration one main point-that
We ale now in position to hit the
Germans where it hurts and the
Germans will fight back harder than
ever.
Expects Heavy Losses.
Thus Gen. Eisenhower made 1t
clear that while the possibility of a
crack in German morale was not
excluded. he believed Gestapo con-
troll was so complete over Germany
that internal collapse was false
hope. We must be prepared now
in all our opelations-home front
and fighting front-for bitter fight
ing right around the German peri
meter. There will be fighting of
the most strenuous character with
heavy losses.
The general picture of overopti-
mism must be sobered by the very
definite conclusion that We have
really got to fight for every foot We
get. both locally and in the general
strategic position. Gen. Eisenhower
said the taking of Caen was most
gratifying and We ale on the often
Sive all along the front.
The continuation of the American
push on the western flank is all part
of the great plan. but there is moth
ing spectacular in it at the moment.
1t is slow, painful slugging.
Pleased With Red Victory.
Gen. Eisenhower was greatly
pleased with the Russian victory at
Wilno. He said Is German divi-
sions northeast of Wilno are badly
compromised by its capture.
The supreme commander discussed
sympa thetically the trials London
and Southern England are going
through under flying bomb attacks
He said no military man is taking
lightly these experiences. This new
weapon and its employment is diff
cut to analyze. Speculation on it
is out of order.
We have been successful in keep
ing some of it's seriousness down
and the great group of Allied scien-
lists studying 1t all the time may
evolve something even more effec-
tive. This new weapon is only ef-
fective in hitting large areas. and in
the near future there doesn't seem
any indication that it will be any
more effective than 1t is now.
Gives Nazis Cheap Air Force.
The general said the flying bomb
was damnable thing and he didn't
like it. 1t gives the Germans
cheap air force just as wild in its
attacks as the original Luftwaffe.
We would never use such a weapon
lacking pinpoint accuracy because OF
