 The Germans captured Bootz- helm, l8 miles south of the Asa tian capital, and at last reports had pushed northward five miles to at- tack Rossfcld, Herbsheim, Gerst- helm, Sand and Obenheim.

 Farther to the northwest, a force of about 100 German tanks and ar- mcred cars struck down into Hat ten, nine miles southeast of Wissembourg, surrounded that town and then thrust mile west to Rit- tershaffen. The Americans count er-attacked at Rittershaffen and drove the raiding force northward in headlong retreat after taking a heavy toll of the enemy's troops and armor.

 For his part. MT.

 Field dispatches said the Germans were strongly entrenched with tanks and mobile 83-millimeter guns along a high ridge dominating Samree and laying murderols fire down on the attacking Americans. The Nazis also were reported firing w. bombs point-blank intot he dough- boys in an attempt to stem theil advance.
 At last reports, the Americans had reached the outskirts of Sam- rec and were punching into the town.
