SHOWDOWN FIGHT
FOR REICH NEAR
British Second Army Ham,
mers Out Second Cross.
ing OF Albert Canal
By HOWARD COWAN

SUPREME HEADQUAR-
TIERS ALLIED EXPED1-
TIONARY FORCE, Sept. 9.
troops of the
U. S. Third army fought in a
storm of artillery fire tonight
to hold a bridgehead on the
Moselle south of the French
city of Metz as the Germans
sailed from their menaced
Sigfried line to give battle to
three Allied armies closing
for the showdown struggle
for the Reich.
In northern Belgium the
British second army hammer
ed out a second crossing of
the Albert canal and fought
against fresh German re-
serves toward the weakest
link in the Siegfried line
north of Aachen.
The American First army was
pounding down the last 10 miles
to the German border from the
Belgian citadel of Liege and prob
ably was within heavy artillery
range of the lines outlying posi-
tions although its movements were
enveloped in secrecy. The Ger
mans said they had thrown In
fresh troops here too.
Take St. Hubert
Farther south in Belgium other
units Of the First army, advancing
through thinly held but difficult
country in the Ardennes forest,
captured St. Hubert, 16 miles from
the border of Luxembourg and 80
from Germany. Another First ar
my force took Ecouviez, village
on the rim of the old Maginot
line in France half mile from
the Belgian border.
The Third Army in the Moselle
river area took Pompey, four miles
northwest of Nancy.
The heaviest fighting since Nor
mandy was raging along the Mo-
selle. AS 1t. Gen. George S. Pat
TONS forces plunged across t h
river at one small bridgehead, they
were caught in whitening artillery,
mortar and machinegun fire from
camouflaged forts, which waited to
yank their lanyards after the first
wave was across.
American artillery Numbered in
reply. as the battle mounted in
fury, more U. S. batteries were
wheeled up to add to the earth
shaking barrage descending on the
forts.
''Difficult" Situation
A front line dispatch said the
situation was 'difficult' one for
the troops, all recommended for
decorations in previous explosit in
France, who were especially Sc.
lected for the operation.
There was hard and sanguinary
fighting at every one Of the five
crossings of the Moselle, and the
Germans were pulling reserves
from the Siegfried line in an at
tempt to hold this last river bar
rier before the rich Saar basin Of
the homeland.
Earlier, the Germans mad risked
badly needed reserves to send
counter, attack-the largest since
the Normandy campaign - rumbl-
ing out of the forests of Luxem-
bourg, but it was cut to pieces by
the alertness Of the Third Army
on the northern end of it's front.

Rabbi Joshua
Haberman Talks
TO Rotary Club

Rabbi Joshua Haberman o
Mobile a native of Austria and
resident of this country for onl,
six years, was guest speaker a
the Moss Point Rotary club OF
Thursday. He based his talk or
the political set-up in the Eu.
rope which he so recently left
Most people have an idea that
Vienna, my native city, is a city
of music but primarily il is q
city of politics." he said.
Emphasizing the high stand
ard of political enlightenment
that exists in Europe, Mr.. Haber-
man told of the executive knowl-
edge of theories of the "isms''
and Western democracy among
Europeans.
The Vienese probably know
more about the contents of the
U. S. Constitution than the av-
erage American" he continued
Europe is filled with political
blueprints but is lacking the
people to keep them running, he
explained. Using the Rotary
club as as an example Of the In
terest in fellowship among Ameri-
cans, he pointed out that Europe
is lacking in organizations foster
ing fellowship and interest in one
another's needs" adding that this
was an outstanding hindrance to
establishment of democracy in
Europe.
Democracy in America is a
living thing not merely a blue
print or a theory" Rabbi Hab-
erman said, pointing out that few
know details of the complicated
ideas behind our system of gov
eminent.
He stressed that democracy is
what we make it and explained
the difficulty in transplanting
democracy as the United States
knows 1t, to Europe.
"Just as surely as the transla-
ton of the Bible into the Ian
guages of different countries did
not transplant Christianity with
put the setting forth of exam
pies, so in transplanting demo
crazy to Europe we cannot ex-
pect to accomplish the transfer
of theories except by setting
forth examples of democratic
living"

present for the luncheon. includ-
ing several officers of the Navy
invited in observance of Navy
Day Friday.
