The aerial sealing OF of the front
made it unlikely that the Germans
could get reinforcements up quickly
to the new area of peril. At the
front of the Canadian attack the
Allies were within 800 miles of the
Russian armies pressing on Berlin
from the east.
Scattered Showers.
Scattered showers fell this morn
ing, but the weather was no worse
than yesterday, when the attack
was given an air umbrella, which
kept the German air force virtually
grounded. Positions within 1000
yards of the Canadian assault wave
were blasted. Chaos and ruin were
visited on the whole German rail
system back across the Rhine.
At least 1000 German railcars were
damaged or destroyed-a terrific toll
when heaped on the wholesale de-
struction Of recent weeks Of rail cut
ting and train busting In this whole
northern front.
The effect already was 30 great
that German troops shifting from
one sector of the front to another
in the eneny's juggle to meet each
new threat were known to be having
to use transit facilities deep In Ger
many, travelling many times the
normal distance.
The German dow Of supplies now
Is virtually frozen along the whole
front west Of the Rhine and north
|n the Moselle River, along which
the American Sd Army was driving
into the Reich. The freezing ex-
tends back even well east Of the
river barrier.

captured 1,021 Germans yesterday.

Chiong 5 Adviser, Held BY Jops,
Saved by 3 Years Of Secrecy ]
w. H. Donold Freed
In MoniIo; High
Price Was on Head

~ the Associated Press. llA
| SIDNEY, Australia, Feb. 9.-W
H. Donald, Australian-born ad-
wiser to Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek and one of Japan's
most implacable enemies, has
been freed from a Manila intern
ment camp after three perilous
years, during which recognition
by his captors would have meant
instant death.
The Japanese had a high price
on Mr.. Donald,s head, and the fact
he had fallen into enemy hands in
the Philippines was a closely
guarded Allied secret.
Even after DR.. T. v. Soong, now
Premier Of China, inadvertently dis
closed that Mr.. Donald had been
captured en- route from New Zea-
land, the japanese were unable to
locate him.
A japanese investigator at the
Manila internment camp questioned
Mr.. Donald. who had given his cor
rect age Of SO. and decided he was
too old for the man they were
hunting.
The Australian government helped
Mr.. Donald by clamping censor
ship on all references to him and
advised his family In Sydney to
keep silent about him.
Mr.. Donald spent more than 80
years In China as a newspaper corre-
spondent, as secretary to DR.. Sun
Yat-sen, first President of the Chi
nese Republic, and as Generalissimo
Chiangs adviser. He was consulted
by the generalissimo on all major
questions of policy confronting the
national government. He became
one of the most remarkable foreign
personalities in China, filing the
closest kind Of advisory role to Gen.
eralissimo Chang and Nine. Chang.
Before the war, Mr.. Donald tried
to stir Australia to the danger of
sending scrap iron to Japan when
China was fighting for her existence.

low educators, II college heads to-
day called for immediate considera-
ton and adoption Of universal milf
tary training.
In q letter to President Roosevelt,
who has expressed himself as con-
vinced Of the necessity for postwar
universal training, they said:
If adopted now, we believe that
q sound plan for universal military
training Will enable the United
States to speak with greater author
ity at the peace table IN favor Of an
international organization to en-
force peace.
Its adoption now will reassure
the other peace-loving nations Of
the world that the United States
proposes to cooperate with them In
outlawing war and will not again
retreat into isolationism."
Urged Delay in Consideration.
The other group Of educators
wrote Mr.. Roosevelt last month to
urge delay In consideration Of what
they termed the highly controversial
question "at least until complete
victory over Germany Is achieved" "
Signers of the letter made public
today are:

to the civilian press and radio cor
respondents. Their suffering, cour-
age, physical condition and rescue
had been flashed back to the United
States.
But they said everybody had
asked questions, and no one had
given them a chance to ask the
questions that filled their minds
about the Marine Corps.
I told them about our Women's
Reserve-of their immaculate ap-
pearance, of the fine job they have
been doing, how well they drill and
how quickly they have acquired the
marine attitude and spirit. 1t must
have been convincing because Pfc.
Ostron, whose first statement after
his release was, Give me a good
meal and a rifle and let me get back
at those -" looked up, laughed
and said, Maybe want to go home
after ALL"
With Is minutes left we agreed
to spend minutes making notes
on what they wanted If they'd
answer questions for 10 minutes.

Son." he said, "its a pleasure to
see a marine again"
I had to start at the beginning,
telling them about the Marine
Corps, because these men had not
heard a word they could believe
since they were captured at Cor
regidor on May 6. 1912.
They would interrupt occasionally
to ask question. One asked, as he
pointed to Staff Sergt. Kenneth w.
Mize of Beattie. Kans., Have the
folks back home ever heard of what
Mize did?" All Mize did was single
handedly scuttle the U. S. s. Roches-
ter, an old cruiser.
Want .Emblems First.
They asked If the folks at home
had heard of Pfc. Fred S. Vinton of
jackson, Mich. Vinton, it seems,
was told to destroy anything at
Olongapo that the Japs could use.
They asked about the pay scale
and how did this allotment business
work? Was it true that Harry Tru-
man was Vice President of the
United States? Who was the COM
mandant of the corps? What about
promotions?
Here's what they want: First, ma
rine emblems. They claim people
don't know they're marines. They
want to see q paymaster-not to
spend the dough that has piled up,
but to get the feel of an American
dollar again. They want to know
whether they can stay here or 60
home, a point upon which they are
divided.
My questions were brief. How did
| 1t feel to hear the American soldiers
and Philippine guerrillas coming in
to rescue them? They said, I'VE
thought the Japs were coming in to
lower the BOOM" a marine and
Navy phrase meaning "get the
works" They were unanimous in
their gratitude to 1t. Col. Henry
Mucci, his Rangers and the Filipinos
who had rescued them.
They had little to say about the
treatment they received from the
