And that might come from either direction, he said in reference lto the Russian offensive in the East land the British-American-French campaigns in Western and Southern France and Italy.

Doubts Berlin Defense

After saying that the nore trouble there- is inside Germany the faster the war will end, he went on to express doubt that Germany will make any last-ditch defensive stand around Berlin, or even on the Rhine, for that matter. It is the German character, hg said, to throw in the sponge and not die fighting—they do not want Germany overrun. Elaborating on his Puget sound navy yard speech at Bremerton, Wash., last Saturday, the President said that “because of Japan's long [record of international dishonesty lit was his idea that the allies should | build a figurative, operational fence |around Japan after the war and maintain this tight bulwark until ‘vears of proof” have shown withlout doubt that Japan is ready and |willing to live in a community of {peaceful nations. | Saying that the future defense of {the Pacific would be a top item on ‘his agenda on his return home, Mr. {Roosevelt said that we now have (the wherewithal—the planes and | ships—to defend the Pacific and it (is our duty to defend the Pacific |coasts of Central and South Amer|ica just as much as it is to defend |their Atlantic coasts.

There was no immediate word as to whether the Americans would attempt to break directly into Paris or by-pass the city to the north, but official sources believed the capital was at the Americans’ mercy. Cross Eure River The Americans stormed and captured Dreux and Chartres, 39 miles west and 46 miles southwest of Paris, early today and raced on to plant their battle flags on the east banks of the Eure and Aunay rivers—the latter 32 airline miles southwest of the capital. ‘Simultaneously, another powerful doughboy column swept down on the Loire river, seized Chateaudun and St. Calais and drove on to take the railway hub of Orleans, 70 miles south-southwest of Paris. The fall of Orleans put the Americans astride the main trunk railway lines from Tours, Bordeaux and the Spanish ‘border and at a single blow cut off the German armies of the north from all direct communication with their supply and reserve bases in Southwestern France.

Chartres itself fell le a brief but bloody fight with one band of crack Nazi troops that Miller described as “the toughest and best” enemy soldiers ‘he had seen in France, : The Nazis were ordered to stand and die in ‘Chartres, but they quit after French patriots inside the city rebelled when the Americans stormed in from the west. ‘The whirlwind American thrust on Paris also menaced the rear of the German armies battling to escape annihilation in the Normandy pocket.
