tiny duchy of Luxembourg.
Thionville is II miles north OF
Metz, well through the old Magi-
not line, and within 20 miles of the
outposts of the eneny's Siegfried

It was considered possible that
American patrols already had
speared into Luxembourg, and
there was no news from Sedan,

elements had crossed into Belgium

Racing For Frontier
The British Second army on the
west was racing for the Belgian
frontier in the hope of heading off
the Germans who have been
launching robot bombs against
southern England.
They drove 81 miles northeas:
of Arras to Douai, IA miles from
Belgium and 6 miles from Brus-
sells.
Racing through Flanders they
seized Viny ridge, north of Arras,
where the Canadians won their
great victory in 1917. Patrols
reached Lens, IS miles below the
railway city of Lille and Armen-
there's, and Pernes, 38 miles south
of Dunkerque and 40 miles south
east of Calais.
Enjoying lull from the robot
bombs, London felt that in view OF
these successes the worst OF this
plague was over. While the Ger
mans still can fire from more dis
tant launching ramps, the longer
bomb run will give defenses bet
ter chance to intercept them.

attack or London ceased for many
hours.
anxious to keep details on per-
Torrance of the new weapon from
the Germans, the government an
nouncement gave no indication OF
the destructive force of the device,
but press reports said one of the
two that landed in England fell in
an open field and caused a very
heavy blast.
The sky monstrosity first was
reported a month ago from France,
where a Messerschmitt 100 fighter
was seen in flight hooked on top
of a twin-engined junkers SO bomb
er which had been stripped of
equipment and packed with an esti-
mated 5000 pounds of explosive.
The two aircraft were rugged to
take off together with one man in
the single engined fighter guiding
the whole thing until near the tar
get. Then he is supposed to release
the unoccupied bomber and let it
glide or poWer-crash against his
objective.
Many arguments were raised
against the chances that this n.y.
brid would prove an effective wea-
pom. One press report said the two
that struck England went only $50
miles an hour. Lack of maneuver-
ability, lack. of accuracy, manufac-
turing expense, and general vul-
nerability to air and ground attack
were also mentioned as points
against it.
