 Cologne Plain
 On the Cologne Plain, American First Army infantry and artillery repulsed light German counter attack against Lucherberg, four and half miles northwest of Duren on the Roer river. Thirteen Ger man planes bombed and strafed the American positions in the vicinity of Eschweiler and Inden, also north west of Duren, during the night, but anti-aircraft guns shot down one andn probably two of them.
 Between five and eight German planes also bombed the American Ninth Army front last night, drop ping ten 500-pound missiles and showering anti-personnel bombs over front-line positions. John, four miles south west of Julich, likewise was bombed.
 Enemy artillery late yesterday fired white phosphorus shells into the area east of Linnich, five and a half miles nortswest of Julich, and started large fires. Infantry pa- trols at Roerdorf and Flossdorf re- ported that the already-swollen Roer river was rising further.
 Flood waters also were rising on the Canadian front above Nij- megen in Holland, with some 25 to 30 square miles now inundated. As result, front positions were MaaS and Waal rivers were falling, however, and there was a promise of an improvement in the situation along the lower Rhine.

 So we were happy for a little while And found the town a gay, ex- citing place, But happiness, of course, goes out sf style And magic leaves fresh, en- chanted face; And now the nights are portents of diSmay And Inns have lost their color and their lure And we who had so many things to say Are silent children, Sullen and unSure. So goes it and our lesson must be learned That rapture fades and mockery is cold -.

president himself who has become
bewitched by the possibilities of
using this device in kind of act
and-mouse diplomacy.
That it is a bad device as we
employ it, and as the State De-
partment has taught our people to
understand it may be seen in It.
ally. We have spent months being
super-subtle about the recognition
of the King and Marshal Badoglio,
as if by the exact shade and flavor
of our diplomatic benediction we
could regulate the destiny of Italy.
The Russians have sat there in
Italy watching us manipulate rec
ognition. They also have watched
us not carry out the spirit of the
letter of the Moscow agreement
about getting rio of Fascists. They
also wanted to do business in tan
gible things from Italy, in naval
ships or access to the Balkans or
whatever.
So quite suddenly and brusquely
they have sent an ambassador to
the King to whom we were giving
1873 per cent recognition on a
contingent basis of ifs, ands, butts
and perhapses. The result is that,
since we have given to recoGai-
ton such an exalted significance,
the little King and Marshal Ba-
doglio are now deeply in debt, in
deed mortgaged, to Moscow. For
under our absurd doctrine to rec.
ognize means to approve and sup
port, not just to recognize a fact
that a government exists while it
governs where it governs. Soviet
recognition, Interpreted according
to State Department practice, is
wor tn its weight in gold to the
King, and Badoglio when they
think of what they face when they
confront the revolutionary masses
of northern Ital-.
The best thing we could do is to
revise our doctrine of recognition
by debating it. We have made a
muddle with it in France and in
italy. and the quicker we get back
to the simpler normal practice, the
better. For our complicated use
of recognition is revolutionary
weapon which we cannot possibly
use as shrewdly and effectively as
the Russians can use it.
So it will be better if no one
uses it.
