THE progress of the great Ameri-
Il can military campaign against
the vital western frontiers of Ger
many, now eliminating in the cross
inc of the formidable Rhine River
barrier in great force, is of incalcu-
liable Importance.
Army spekesmen ON the scene, in
fact, have expressed the conviction
that, if the bridgeheads established
on the east bank of the Rhine are
held-and there seems to be ample
assurance that they will be held-"it it
means the war is months nearer an
end"
THAT is a wonderful prospect, and
Il apparently very little at variance
with the most reasonable and con-
servative appraisal of the situation.
If the German army cannot hold
the Rhine River, there is nothing left
in Germany it CAN hold
All of Germany's intensive prep
arations to resist invasion were made
west of the Rhine.
All of her tremendous fortifica-
tions were established west of the
Rhine.
Having overwhelmed that which
is the military sinew and heart of
Germany, the American forces will,
thereafter, go pretty much where
they will at their will.
A ND what wonderful thing it will
"A be for America, and for the
whole civilized world-even for Ger
many itself-to have this terrible
war ended months sooner" than
expected.
That will mean thousands of
American lives SAVED.
1t will mean the bringing of our
boys home SOON.

bloody struggle.
The Pacific war is raging on in
greater and greater fury, and with
higher and higher costs in American
lives and resources.
Our fanatical and suicidal Japa-
nese enemies, while meeting defeat
wherever we find them, are not as
yet even CLOSE to collapse.
We are winning the war in the
Pacific as surely as we are winning
the war in Europe, but we are still
compelled to measure it's length in
months and years and it's cost in still
unexpended blood and treasure.
Accordingly our elation over the
imminence of victory in Europe must
be tempered.
DUT the victory in Europe-when
I'D achieved-will put prayer OF
thanksgiving in every American
heart.
1t will reflect credit and glory
upon our valiant American fighting
men and their capable commanders.
1t will reflect the power and the
initiative and the genius of Ameri-
can industry and labor and agricul-
ture to produce the engines and
implements of war in such volume
that no enemy can stand against it.
Victory in Europe will not EN-.
able the American people to LET
DOWN in their war effort.
America must make total war un-
til we have forged durable structure
of TOTAL PEACE, and of security
and freedom-and that requires,
above all, the utter defeat of Japan.
