Germany since just before she was
born. Nor did she let the others

soles. She was in a merry mood.

school smatterinG put US on some
what of a par. Finally ! popped
the question: Would she trade me
her cigarettes for shiny bracelet
set with big red stones?
Yvonne shook her head violently
and folded her arms over her
pockets. That proved one thing:
Yvonne was not running a black
market in cigarettes. What was
worse, she was probably letting the
tobacco dry up in some hidden
toy box.
The Secret Disclosed
l WAS ready to give up. l told
Yvonne good-by and watched her
skip on down the street. just as l
was about to turn. young woman
stepped out Of a door and the two
of them rushed into each others
arms. There was profusion of
kisses, and then mother and daugh-
ter sat down on the doorstep.
Out came the cigarettes with
much counting in loud French.
There were more kisses. Then
mother lit one, took a deep draw
and blew a screen of smoke into
the still street air.
I watched my chance the next
morning and moved close to a lorry
Just as Yvonne reached the driver.
Cigarette pour Mamas" she cried,
stretching up both hands. ] knew
now lit was just that little
difference in approach that had
made Yvonne the best cigarette
getter in town.
Maybe the soldiers like it as a
change from the usual battle cry.
Maybe they picture Yvonne as the
daughter of a poor war-widowed
mama. Or maybe - and more
probably they picture Mama
as a gay young thing blowing
smoke at them across two glasses
of French wine.

located on a main road from the

a front-row view of one Of the
mightiest armadas that ever moved

Small Nations Seek
Louder Peace Voice

A revision of the proposed plan
for the United Nations security Or
ganization to give small nations
more authority in the council has
been suggested to the State Depart
ment by Venezuela, it was learned
today.

give the small states more power.
Concurrently. five Latin-American
states are expected to establish
diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia, which will hold one of the
five permanent seats on the all-im-
portant council. They are Bolivia,
Chile, Ecuador, Brazil and Hon.
duras. At present only Cuba, Mex
leo. Costa Rica, Colombia and Uru-
quay of the Latin american nations
have ENJOYS in Moscow.
Venezuela proposed that the mem
bership of the council should in
clude three representatives selected
from nations of Latin America, Eu-
rope. the British Commonwealth,
the Arab confederation and other
regional systems, and that the pro-
posed organization be called some
thing other than The United Ma
tions," which Venezuela regards as
a wartime military organization.

lean 1st Army has been trying to
breach the approaches to Cologne
with limited attack in the Hurtgen
Forest area, German counter
attack was thrown back.
Extensive minef1elds were en-
countered by the Yanks attempting
to drive the flercely resisting Ger
mans out OF their dug-in positions
around Hurtgen. West of Schmidt,
however, limited progress was re-
ported as the Americans continued
hopping up enemy pillboxes.
Gen. Patton's Sd Army troops had
advanced to points AZ miles north

east of Metz itself.
The wing fighting along the line
running north from Metz appeared
to be causing the Germans the most
immediate concern.

German bulge extending west of

active sector which divides the two
wings OF Gen. Patton's offensive.
The 9th Armored Division, the
second American tank division to
join at least six infantry divisions
IN the onslaught, pushed beyend
Buchy, 10 miles southeast of Metz
and was operating less than 9 miles
from the city.
The Berlin radio said the Rainbow
Division (42d Infantry Division) had
entered the line. There was no con-
flrmation of this report from Allied
sources.
Southeast Of Fremery the Ger
mans were reported swinging
armored troops into position in the
forest of Chateau-Salins. Yank in
fantry has penetrated AZ miles into
the forest.
On the 7th Army front, south of
the Sd Army battle zone, the Ger
mans brought up reinforcements to
forward positions.
To the north in the battle area
inside Germany, 1st Army troops
made a 600-yard advance Just
southwest of the town of Hurteen
and held it in the face of counter
blows, but a similar advance to the
south later was lost. West of
Schmidt, Is miles southeast of
Aachen, American troops moved 300
yards across snowy battlefield,
