ZBBJIBlI-Nazis in Balkans In Serious Plight

By W. w. nuuouau

LONDON, Sept. '1 - (AP) —The German radio said tonight that Russian troops fanning out across Bulgaria in a. drive toward the Aegean‘ Sea. had reached the area oi Demotika, which is inside Greece on the Turkish frontier, while other Soviet forces north of War- saw had hopped the Narew river at a. point- only 26 miles south of East Prussi .

Moscow's communique did not even mention Bulgaria, which ask- ed for an armistice after Russia declared war on her Tuesday, nor did it mention the Yugoslav front where a Rome dis abch said the Russians were floo lug into that country after capturing Turnu- Sevcrin at the foot oi the Iron Gate Rapids on the Danube.

But the Germans in the Bal- kans, estimated at 260.000 men, were clearly in a dangerous and almost hopeless position.

The Yugoslav radio already had announced a Junction with Mar- shal Tito's Puriisans and the Rus- sians east oi Belgrade, Yugoslav capital, and Allied headquarters in Rome said Allied land troops now were penetrating the country from the Adriatic Sea. in a drive to llnk=up with the Red Army.

[lo-ck For Early Encl Of War In Europe

Battle For Presidency

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. '1 — (AP) -Gov. Thomas E. Dewey plunged tonight into the active phase of his battle for the Presidency of the United States with a declaration that the New Deal Administration is “afraid of peace" because “they are afraid of a continuance of their own failures to gct this country going again"

“The administration knows that the war, with all its tragic toll of death. debt and destruction. is the only thing that saved it.” he said in a prepared address. "They are (loudly afraid that they will g0 back to ' resumption of their own failures. That is why they are afraid to let men out of the army. Thar is why they say it is cheaper i0 keep men in the army than to let them come home."

The Republican Presidential no- mince opened his speaking cam- paign in Philadelphia amid all the political fanfare that ordinarily characterizes a peacetime election year.

Beginning with a ticker-tape parade through downtown streets. Mr. Dewey and his retinue set out on a round of conferences. eet- ings and rf-clsgltiolls that woun up in Convention Hall for the first of a series of major speeches.

Repeatedly he lashed out at the Roosevelt regime as a "tired. ex- iloustcd. quarrelling and bickering administration." He played on the ihemc that its replacement by a "fresh and vigorous" govem- ment would mean an early return of servicemen from overseas: when the war is won, and a revival of prosperity through free enterprise.

Declaring at the outset that he was not campaigning against an individual or a political party, the 42-year-old New York Governor

s .

"It is a campaign against an administration which was con- ceived in riefeatism, which failed for eight straight years to restore our domestic economy, which has been the most wasteful. extravagant and incompetent administration in the history of the nation and worst of all. one which has lost faith in itself and the American

lLlES BEGIN BATTLE FOR GERMANY

Fierce Resistance In Opening Phases

LONDON, Sept. 1 - (or) - Til; United States 1st Army struck down the high road to Germany tonight and battered to within 16 miles of the Belgian fortress of Liege while the British 2nd Army pushed out reconnaissance patrols from Leuven

(Louvain) to the vicinity of

the Albert Canal.

Fierce resistance was encountered bythese armies and the American 3rd Army in the opening phase of the battle for the German homeland.

The capture of Sedan, historic invasion gateway where

the Germans broke

through in 1940 to win the Battle of France by outflanking the Maginot Line, was all- nounced officially with the liquidation of an undetermined number of Germans long since by-passed by the 1st. Army.

Secrecy cloaked the push into the Netherlands by the British 2nd Army.

The British 2nd Army front can- not be accurately defined owing to the blackout on its progress but it apparently extends eastward through Antwerp and into Holland to an undisclosed depth, then back into Belgium to a point near Leuvcn.

The 3rd Army front now extends from the border oi Luxembourg 55 miles southward to the old Lorraine capital of Nancy, which also was reached by advanced elements.

The lst front nms for 75 miles from a point south of Leuven in Belgium to Yonco, l0 miles south- east of Sedan It billged into {he Ardenne; Forest. where the Germans were deployed strongly but with- out the artillery needed to check tank thrusts.

The German stand is considered an attempt to buy time while the Siegfried Line is manned before the Allies launch their great blows.

The battle for Metz, last fortress town between the American; and the Soar border, was fought in a high, chill wind which followed p, morning rain.

The officer directing the fighting on this sector declared his tropos were across the Moselle south of Meta in stay. and there would be no repetition of the setback suffered downstream.

Allied Headquarters said it was apparent that earlier reports the Americans had reached Liege and Aachen. east of Liege and two miles inside Germany. were incorrect.

RLETON PLACE. Ont.. Sept. (C?) — Progressive Conserva- tive Leader John Bracken. who has been witllouta seat in Parliament sincc he became party leader two years ago, has announced his in- tcntion of running as a candidate in Manitoba's Neepllwa consti- tuency in the forthcoming federal election if nominated.

Mr. Bracken made his announce- ment last night in an address be-. fore the Lanark County Progres- sive Conservative Associaiionfis an- nual mecting. He said:-

“A number of largely-signed petitions have reached me from Manitoba, including one from Ncepawa. Canada is still a de- mocracy aud one does not dictate tn constituencies whom they should choose. If, however, the nomina- tion convention in Neepawa should favor me as a candidate, I would be honored by such s. choice and would accept."

(Neepawa constituency now is represented in the Commons by F. Donald MacKenzie. Liberal mem- ber who defeated two candidates- one Conservative and one New Democracy-by a majority of l,- 850 votes in the 1940 general elec- ilons. Mr. MacKenzie won it from the Conservative member, T. G. Murphy, in 1935.)
