We Win, Says


SOMEWHERE IN BELGIUM.
Jan. 8 tUP)-The German OF.
fensive in the Ardennes has failed
and the Nazi armies that
launched il three weeks ago are
being written off," Field Marshal
Sir Montgomery said yesterday in
his first press conference since
assuming command of the Allied
counterattack in the north.
Montgomery warned that the
battle was far from over and that
a great Zeal of hard fighting lay
ahead, but he asserted that the
Germans definitely have lost the
initiative without gaining any i'm
portant advantage from their
initial successes.
HE PRAISES YANKs
The colorful British leader paid
high tribute to the Allied team
work and the vaior of American
fighting men that were combined
at the critical moment to halt
the Nazi drive.
He summoned American and
British correspondents 10 his field
headquarters TO give them a de-
tailed account of the battle since
1.-THE German breakthrough, and
then launched into an unexpected
defense of his supreme CON-
mander, Gen Eisenhower.
Montgomery hit particularly at
sections of the British Press
which. he said. had been unjustly
critical of Eisenhower's direction
OF the campaign.
DEVOTED TO IKE"
Let me tell you that the
captain of our team In Gen.
Eisenhower" he said. 81 am
absolutely devoted to Ike. We
are the greatest of friends
He bears a great burden. He
needs our fullest support. and II
IL up to US TO see that ne
gets It."
Throughout his review of the
first phase of the battle ending
with the start of the Allied
counterattack. Montgomery re-
peatedly praised the part played
by American units who fought on
in isolated sectors and split the
German drive.
Montgomery singled out for
special commentator the Ameri-
can Seven Armored sd and 10lst
Airborne Divisions, the Seventh
Corps and another outfit which
cannot be named.
He labeled his opponent. Field
Marshal Karl Won Rundstedt. a
better general than the late
Marshal Erwin RemTnei whom he
| defeated in North Africa.
