Germany has opened on the
Western Front.
The American Ninth and
First armies have left behind
them the demolished German
cities of Juelich and Dueren and
are pushing upon the Rhine.
Gen. Eisenhower has made
clear his purpose to finish the
war. He spoke hopefully and
Loyalty of meeting the Rus

Germany TO crush the last
enemy resistance.
Thus. he stated the only way
in which the German armies
can be annihilated, and as his
movement has started, the
readiness Of the armies OF Rus
sia 10 cooperate, is matter OF
serious Importance.
There ere six of these great
Red armies. From south TO
north they are as follows:
The first is the Second Tx
rainian Army under Gen. Rodin
Malinovsky. II is in Hungary
on the Danube River. After long
battle il has taken the city of
Buda-Pesth. The Germans have
been pushed slightly westward,
but seem 10 have a strong posi-

Like the Allied armies in
