opportunity for major Allied
pictory::
Allied soldiers, sailors and airmen
Through your combined skill,
valor and fortitude you have Gre
ated in France fleeting but definite
opportunity for a mjor Allied VIC
tory, one whose realization will
mean notable progress toward the
final downfall of our enemy.
In the past have, in a moment
Of unusual significance, made spe.
cial appeals to Allied forces it has
been my honor to command. With
out exception the response has beer
unstinted and the result beyond my
expectations.
Because the victory we can nov
achieve is infinitely greater thar
any it has SO far been possible u
accomplish In the west and be.
cause this opportunity may bt
grasped only through the utmost ir
zeal and determination and speedy
action I make my present appeal Il
you more urgent than ever before.
1 request every airman to make
it his direct responsibility that tn.
enemy is blasted increasingly by da,
and by night and Is denied safety
either in fight or in fight.
request every sailor to make sur.
that no part Of the hostile force!
can either escape or be reinforced
by sea, and that our comrades OF
land want nothing that guns ant
ships and ship companies can brint
to them.
I request every soldier to 60 for
ward to his assigned objective witt
the determination that the enem.
can survive only through surrender
let no foot Of ground once gainet
be relinquished, nor single German
escape through a line once estab

With all Of us resolutely perform

Finest Aviation Fuel
In World Claimed by
Petroleum Industry
~ the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
The petroleum industry says 1t has
developed "the worlds finest flying
fuel" and is ready to start In flowing
whenever military strategy allows.
The industry's War Council, tell
ing Of the new fuel, said 1t was de-
signed to draw from the futuristic
B-32 bombers, lethal BIO Super
Fortresses and the most modern
fight erescort planes, their originally
intended maximums In sustained
speed, short take-of1s, combat radius
and load-carrying capabilities"
Chairman william r. Boyd said
all refining capacity is now required
to produce more than SOC, ,00C barrels
a day of 100-octane gasoline. Fo,
that reason, the new fuel, which Il
described as having q vastly i'm
proved octane rating" must await
q time when switchover to its pro.
duction may be possible. he said.
Mr.. Boyd said, TT has been esti.
mated that in the fall Of 1914 i
may be necessary to produce .
considerable amount of this i'm
proved aviation gasoline"
He explained the new fuel is 100.
octane rebuilt chemically" Oil in
dustry scientists. helped by new ant
delicate instruments, he said, hav'
been perfecting their means O
analyzing high-octane composition
and the 100-octane motor fuel hai
been lifted from the "gropinl
laboratory stage" and its intricacie
now are 'in the realm of positiv,
practicability."

Marshal Won Kluge's defense ol

doomed as his forces squirmed under

Most Escape Roads Cut.
Practically all the German escape
roads toward the Seine were cut
Allied air forces wrecked hundreds
of locomotives and thousands of raj
cars. Not a single wagon or bicycle
was immune from attack from the
swarms of aircraft which buzzed
over the battle area in endless pro-
cessions.
Roads which remained open were
under Allied shellf1re, and it ap-
peared that only new German
Armies could stem the Normandy
tide.
However, Won Kluge already had
drawn on 40 of the so or IS divisions

the Allies already had contacted 40

5000 CAP Cadets Training
With Army Air Forces
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Nine thousand Civil Air Patrol
cadets are living for the summer at
Army Air Forces installations, see-
ing first-hand the operation of the
Nations air arm.
Each youth. between Is and II
years old, was chosen from the
Cadet Corps on the basis of merit
The program is sponsored jointly by
the Air Forces and the CAP.
The summer training started last
month and will continue until Sep
tember Is. The cadets attend
classes in pre-f1ight aeronautics, re-
ceive some indoctrination and mil
itary drill and absorb the routine
functions of the Air Force bases to
which they are assigned, including
the art Of "GI" living.

to save as much as possible, how
ever, using haywagons, farm We
hicles and even bicycles to move his
troops, and leaving behind a hard
rearguard crust to prevent Allied
armies from the west, south and
north from cutting his retreating
forces to pieces.
The German withdrawal still was
not rout.
Meanwhile, there still was no
news Of any Allied operations east
Of lie Mans toward Paris, nor from
the spearhead which crossed the
Loire three days ago and struck
southwark 10 miles.
Thury -Harcourt Taken.
On the road north of Conde to
Caen, the British finally clinchee
control of ry-Harcourt, whose
fiery ruins at one time were so hot
neither side could stay. The Brit.
ish few days ago had claimed the
capture of Thury- -Harcourt. A few
machine gunners held out in "sui-
eide stand" however, and were re-
inforced before the British finally
cleaned it out.
Four miles southeast of that hui
in the Normandy Switzerland, the
British also captured, lost and re.
captured Donnay after a violent
German counterattack supported by
rocket guns.
Esson fell in this advance.
Canadian infantry in the Orne-
Laize River triangle just to the east
had a similarly difficult time tax
ing and holding on to Tournebu. 8
miles northwest of Falaise. The viii
lagos of LIE Mesnil and Clair Tizon
miles northwest of Falaise, also
were captured.
Scant news came from the Breton
Peninsula where the reduction OF
the U-bQat bases and ports of Brest
st. Nazaire, Lorient and st. Malo
still was in progress. The Americans
made slight advances in the siege
of Brest, Supreme Headquarters
said.
Warns Against Overoptimism.
A British staff general at the
front warned against overoptimism
remarking the Allies could make NO
rapid dash on Paris until they had
mopped up German units passed by
the Americans in their break
through. He also cited the problem
of the lengthening Allied COM
munication lines.
This officer said the Germans now
probably would have to pull back
their main supply depots to the
Paris area because of Allied bomb
ings.
Won Kluge's greatest worry, he
continued, is that the German
Army is only about so per cent
mobile. The German commander
also is severely handicapped in de-
termining the strength and direc-
ton of the Allied thrusts because of
his almost complete lack of aerial
reconnaissance.
A spokesman for Gen. Eisenhower
warned French civilians in broad
cast to take cover when Allied planes
approach and to avoid enemy routes
of travel and bridges. He also askec
them not to travel on bicycles dur.
ing daylight because so much Ger.
man transport has been destroyed
that "the enemy now is moving
troops on bicycles"
Since D-day, supreme headquar.
ters said. Allied planes have hit II
German headquarters and are
known to have killed one general.

 German 88's and mortars began to explode on the railroad tracks below us.
 That's Jerry talking now" com- mented Capt. Fred Andrt of Berwyn, Ill.
 Suddenly shells began climbing the hill toward us. They had seen us and Andrt and I ran to the scant protection of sallow foxholes. Shells landed 90 and 40 feet away. We were lucky and they finally quit firing.
 From where we lay it was easy to look across the river into the heart of Metz and see its cathedral spires reaching skyward. The city looked beautiful and peaceful. It was hard to believe that all around 1t men were dying.
 I walked back down the hill to our jeep and was happy to reach the road and race away from the sound of firing.
 A convoy forced us to halt in a small town and an MP sergeant swaggered over and asked: How goes the war?"
 "All right" I said and then I re- membered the men in the woods remembered that I was safe in a jeep while only two miles away other Americans were dying. I didn't say any more.
