 Behind them, c great array o6 men, guns and ari1lor was racing up to join the battle, their passage speeded enormously by the capture of two Erft river bridges capable of handling the heaviest tanks and artillery.
 Eighth In Front
 Doughboys of the Eighth infantry division were out in front of the at~ tack on the southern flank of tho American assault line. Fighting on foot and from the turretS of speed- ing tanks, the Tanks rooted c strong German force from the cele lars and pilliboxes of Modrath, 6 1-T miles west of Cologne, and Ay' tl1in morning had cleared all but the eastern edge of the town.

keeps the turkey meat juicy.
Another important addition to
this dressing is fresh mushrooms.
Those oid-time cooks knew that
the addition of a few fresh mush-
rooms gave added dehcacy and fla
vor to their dressing.
Here's the way to make this Bird
