from western Holland and were
wrecking 10 miles of its docks and quays, pilots said. Turning TH&r sights temporarily from Aachen itself, hundreds of American planes and guns cascaded tons of steel and explosives on a box seven miles wide and three miles deep to the northeast, where scores of panzers were concentrating. American srilliery batteries were laying down “Monty barrages,” Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery’s famous desert tactic of firing groups of guns simultaneously at a small target area in an attempt to obliterate the enemy's defenses,
Crack Nazis in Battle
One of Adolf Hitler's crack divisions was spotted at Rohe, six miles northeast of Aachen. Reconnaissance pilots reported 85 per cent of Aachen already had been damaged by bombs or shells, with a flame-splashed smoke pall rising 6000 feet above the rubble. More than 600 dive-bombers hit the historic city yesterday. All Aachen’s anti-aircraft batteries had been knocked out, but 150 German fighters made a belated attempt to interfere with the bombardment, Though incumbered by their bombloads, American Lightnings and Thunderbolts shot down 12 of their attackers, probably destroyed two more and damaged six for a loss of four of their own planes. .

Cherniakovsky's forces smashed to within 12 miles of Tilsit yesterday with the capture of Sartininkai, on the border of Memel territory which Adolf Hitler annexed to East Prussia in March, 1933. The thrust brought the Russians abreast of the Memel border on a 75-mile front curving to within nine miles of Memel itself, while other troops to the southeast seized andther eight-mile stretch of the Szeszuppe river frontier of East Prussia proper at Ziuriai, 30 miles east of Tilsit. Front dispatches reported Soviet artillery and Red air force planes were bombarding Germany's East Prussian frontier defenses around the clock.
Nazis Counter-Attack
The Germans counter-attacked 18 times yesterday in a futile attempt to stall Soviet forces closing in on Memel. Waiting until the enemy had exhausted himself, the Russians plunged forward to capture 50 towns and villages. According to incomplete reports, the Germans lost 1500 men killed and 44 tanks. North of Memel, Gen. Ivan C. Bagramian’s 1st Baltic widened its wall pinning 100,000 German troops against the Baltic to within 14 miles of Liepaja, one of three evacuation

Eat Germans’ Meal
The situation inside Meizieres was so interlocked, United Press War Correspondent Robert Richards re ported from the front, that American infantrymen foraging for firewood stumbled upon six Germans eating their rations. They captured all six, ate their hot meal and had no more need for firewood. The situation at Ft. Driant, southeast of Metz, remained unchanged with American infantrymen clinging to the southwest corner, both above and below the ground. The French 1st army punched forward north of Le Thillot and captured four villages in a drive deeper into Vosges mountains calculated to outflank the heavily-de-fended Belfort gap.

The report also was carried in the Japanese communique which said the island fortress had been attacked from “both sides,” and Tokyo radio said “great importance must be attached to the fact” that U. 8. army and navy planes were able to make a joint, co-ordinated attack. ; A Japs Fear Invasion Another enemy broadcast indicated the serious view taken by the Japanese of Mitscher’s powerful blows, It said that thickly populated areas of several towns on Formosa had been partially evacuated and “opportune measures have been taken against possible eventual enemy landing attempts.” The attack was the third in as many days by carrier planes of Adm.

Mitschers carriers opened the series of raids Monday with a heavy assault on the Ryukyu islands, which form a chain from Japan's home island of Kyushu to near the northern tip of Formosa, On Tuesday, “large” forces of carrier planes -attacked Luzon, principal island of the Philippines, but Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, in announcing the Formosa raid this morning, still had no details of the Luzon attack. On Wednesday, (Thursday, Japanese time), Mitscher’s fast carrier force took up the offensive against Formosa, 200 miles to the north.. With returns still to come in from the Luzon raid, Wednesday's For mosa strike raised the total number of Japanese ships sunk or damaged by the 3d fleet in a series of attacks in ‘the Bonins, Palaus, Philippines, Ryukyus and at Formosa to 387, plus 210 small craft, A total of 1411 Jap aircraft have been destroyed or damaged, 1322 of which are listed as definitely destroyed.
