Today's Only Loss

The only reverse suffered by the U. S. 1st army was the loss of a few hundred yards along thie Caren-tan-Periers road, where the Germans struck back viciously. The U. 8. forces closing in on La Haye-du Puits, hotly contested transport center in western Normandy, scored gains on all sides of the town except due south and appeared to have doomed the stand by the Nazi garrison which had driven out advanced American elements a number of times./ The spearhead thrusting south east of La Haye made ‘substantial

Nazis Have New Leader

Spurred by their new commander, Field Marshal Guenther von Kluge, the Garmans won back some territory around La Haye and along the Carentan-Periers road yesterday, but latest reports reaching allied headquarters indicated that the Americans had regained the initiative, wiped out the enemy guns and still were advancing. German sources reported that the allies had launched a frontal assault down the Cherbourg-Paris road on Caen, but this could not be confirmed here. The British 2d army widened the base of {its salient southwest of Caen and pushed to within threequarters of a mile north of Esquay. The Canadians repulsed two counterattacks on Carpiquet, three miles west of Caen, but the Germans wedged back into British-held Verson, two miles southeast of Carpiquet. v There still was no authoritative explanation of the reason for von Kluge’s * appointment to succeed Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt.

It was De Gaulle who sounded the keynote of realistic harmony last night in a toast at a dinner given in his honor by Secrétary of State Cordell Hull. “This war,” De Gaulle sald, “shows us each day how the nations which fight for independence are tied to each other in their common infer dependence, which will be even greater in the world that is to come with organized peace. -— —
