LONDON, Sept. 13 -— (CP) — American troops rolling through surprisingly light

resistance today drove into the outskirts of the important German border

city of

Aachen, one of the northern keystones of the Siegfried Line, and struck close to the

centre of the Nazis’ vaunted westwall on

The Americans captured the border village 0f Rogen, 10 miles
