Saar on a 19-mile front and rolling the entire battleline in “heir sector of eastern France back against the frontier. - Security Blackout

The American 7th and French 1st armies were operating under a security blackout between the Vosges and the upper Rhine, where remnants of the German 19th army were trapped. ’ A 3rd army front dispatch said the U, S. 80th division “streamed

it without a fight, and was pressing retreating German columns along the road to the northeast only four miles from. the frontier.

Paratroops Across Rhine?

A Zurich dispatch said the paratroops swarmed down out of the sky along a railway running from Immendingen, some 40 miles east of the Rhine and just north of the Swiss border, to Berlauchringen, which does not show on available maps. From Basel came word that the paratroops had cut an important railway-supply line for German garrisons along the Rhine north of the Swiss border, The Swiss have evacuated the northern tip of Basel, on the northeast bank of the Rhine, because it was exposed to both French and German artillery, The Volkssturm throughout Southwest Garmany was altered, the dispatch said. No further details were given,

First Since Nijmegen It was the first time allied paratroops have been reported in action since the seizure of Nijmegen and the abortive attempt to’ take Arnhem in central Holland in September. Mention of only “small groups,” however, indicated that the troops might be on reconnaissance and sabotage rather than any largescale attempt to carve out a bridgehead behind the Siegfried line. ' Patton's triple thrust deeper into the Saar basin carried his armor and infantry within gun range. of some of the main forts of the Siegfried line west of the Rhine on the central sector of the front. Farther south, Lt. Gen, Alexander M. Patch’'s Tth army cleared the crests of thé Vosges mountains and poured down toward the AlsaceLorraine plains along the entire length of its front west of the Rhine. Limited gains also were reported elsewhere along the 400-mile allied offensive front stretching from southeast Holland to the Swiss bor~ .

ALPACA

If Peru—high up on the slopes of the perpetually snow-capped peaks—in the Andes Mountains ~lives the Alpaca,

And very nice it is—an * aristocratic cousin of the Camel and the Llama,

Nature gives the Alpaca a fine and long and glossy coaf—as ' protection against the bitter colds and the penetrating rains.

Once every couple of years—the Alpaca gets a hair cut—not really cut—but thinned out (otherwise it might perish from the cold) — And it's these hairs that are woven into a soft, fleece-like pile fabric—which is extremely ‘warm and light.

And it is very stubborn against matting down-and being in natural color (not dyed)— It can’t fade! Xx x

These garments are in 0. D. shades—

cut and tallored by hands that are expert in the field of outdoor clothes. -° t. .

They are weather resistant—and prac

They are perfect protection against the elements. They are warm — yet amazingly «light in weight — luxuriously comfortable — "and wear almost forever!" (The quotes i are from a tag on the garment.)

Our men in Service (and explorers in the Polar Regions) — have proven that bulk and thickness and weight are not the."'answer" —The best protection,-it has been found, is a closely woven cotton fabric = weather treated. to resist the winds and bitter colds the snow — the sleet and the raii— And it is + lined with wool which keeps the bodily,
