CANADIANS ON RHINE;
 TURN LINE
Roer River Floods Begin 10 Settle Promising
 New Attacks

PARIS, Feb. l5-Canadian forces have fought through flcod waters to the west bank of the Rhine River opposite Eirnerich and swung slowly along the northern end of the Rhine Valley in a drive behind the Siegfried Line threat ening to outflank the Ruhr with all its munitions industries.
 British Empire troops crushed series of violent German counter attacks and pressed close to the key defense bastions of Goch and Calcar.
 The Canadian First Army at- tack gathered momentum after the troops shook off six more frenzied counter attacks today, the same number as were repulsed yes- terday.
 Enemy Faltering
 There are signs of the enemy faltering under the bombardment of massed batteries of artillery and skies filled with planes.
 Kessel, five miles west of Goch, was taken and newly y-captured prisoners in sodden mud -caked grey uniforms struggled to the rear looking like a parade of scare crows.
 There is no evidence the Can adians are attempting to cross the wide Rhine River. Their offensive has already run over 20 square miles, most of it in Germany.
 At the edge of the Cologne Plain, to the south, where three Allied armies are stymied by Roer River floods, the river level fell Is inches from midnight to daybreak, bringing nearer the time when American and British Armies may join the offensive
 Drawn Into Battle
 More and more Germans have been drawn into the semi-aquatic battle which is steadily turning the German flank in the north.
 The Rhine was reached at Hur- endeick There the river is nor mally but 3,270 feet wide, but breaches in the dykes of the deso- late low-lands have made the Rhine even more imposing, for at low points north of Kleve and west of Emmerich the Rhine is as wide as the English Channel between Calais and Dover
 Flood waters eight feet deep are leaving only islands of sunken vil- lages.
 Harassing German artillery fire increased on the United States Seventh Army front in Alsace dur ing the night. 800 shells dropping into positions near Schweighouse near Hagenau.

This might be an excellent use for some of the barbed wire left over from the beachheads and barricades.
 Placed between man and the War Bonds he's safely tucked away, it would give him pause in case he was tempted to cash in single Bond.
 It would make him stop and think ..
 Stop and think that those Bonds will mean in- come . security perhaps even good measure of financial independence in the unpredictable postwar world.
 Stop and think that every Bond will bring back not just it's purchase price-but $4 for eUery $3 at maturity.

If THE tall girl feels that

rights which 1t makes available
to the United States, and much
study of the matter including the
testimony of the proponents, have
convinced me that all of these OBJ
jectives may be achieved without
violation of the Charter by means
of official domestic interpretations,
by a supplemental treaty which
we are assured by the proponents
will be presented to the Senate,
and possibly by implementing STAT
utes to govern the important de-
cisions of our delegates, and that,
therefore, recourse to amendments
or reservations is unnecessary.
Assuming that these protective
domestic interpretations and assur-
ances given at the hearings by
official proponents of the Charter
will be approved by the Senate
and the President, I shall vote
for the Charter without reserva-
lions or amendments"
Livelier Debate Expected.
The Millikin statement empha-
sized that the Senate may face a
much livelier debate next winter,
when the time comes to act on a
separate treaty, outlining the ex-
tent of military aid this country
would hold in readiness for the
Security Council to prevent a flu
ture breach of world peace.
Senator Connally said it is I'M
likely that follow-up treaty, or
a bill creating the Office of Amer
lean delegate, will come up before
the end of this year. The charter
must be ratified by % nations, in
Guiding the Big Five, before the
organization would come into exist
ence.
Senator Connally yesterday told
reporters the action of his commit
tee was gratifying to all friends
of the charter. Members attended
the hearings diligently and secured
accurate understanding of all parts
of the document. In my opinion
the Senate will ratify the charter
with not over 10 days of debate, and
there will not be over six votes
against It,"
Until yesterday, Senator Connally
had estimated not more than 10
opposing votes.
Senator Johnson notified the
committee of his negative vote with
out comment, but there were indi-
cations of statement today or to-
morrow.
