WINNIPEG. Dec. l — (CP) ,genator T. D.

"If I had been an oracle willing

to serve otilcr interests than those of the common people." he added “l would have more clearly fore- seen what thunders the overt. as well as convert political gods had in store for me. And I would have delayed my speech probably un- til after my death. But I was one eliliese ordinary men with a vis- Ion snrtmed by the o1 duty you find more often in the common man than in those who

llazis Threaten To Disregard Rules 0f War

LONDON. Dec. l—(OP)—-A German hlEh command statement distributed o the official German "Hi5 888ml said tonight that Germany was considering (ilsasso- clatlna itself from the rules of in- ternational wertare as contained 1:110 ‘the Geneva and Hague comm.

‘Ihe statement was made in the course cfa declaration threatening Wbrisals on French prisoners oi‘ war in Germany if Germans were executed in Alsace for franc-tireur iguerilia) warfare.

The high command statement, B8 quoted by D.N.B. charged that GBlmBhlFs enemies were "incl-cas- ingly violating international law" and added:

“Under these cl cumstances. in- vestigation is in progress as to whether Germﬂny should stlllcorl- side: herself bound to ‘Ihe Hague and Geneva and other conven- lions. which have been violated by our enemies."

The German statement con- demned what it called the “repri- ssi order" of MuL-Gell. Jacques LeClerc in Alsace and IlllJEllLBﬁed that "strongest counter-reprise]: against French prisoners oi war ill Germany would be take-n as a result of such a step."

statement issued at Allied supreme headquarters in Paris Thursday said that "the Allied expeditionary force is operating in conformity Will the Geneva. Con- vention of 19 9, and in particular with Article 2 which states ‘meas- ures of reprisai against prisoners of war are prohibited."

There was no elaboration of this statement. issued after Gen. Le- Clerc, commander of the Irencta 211d armored division, had ali- rlounccd that sniping in the cap- turcti City of Strasbourg must stop and “ﬁve German hostages would be shot for every French soldier killed by snipers."

(Ger. LeClercs proclamation was to have taken etfcct Saturday, but it was disclosed at Allied supremo headquarters ill Paris Friday night that the General and ills division already hall left Strasbourg "for further operations." '

(Therefore, it appeared the pro- clamation calling for rcprlsnls a- gainst. civilian hostages would zlcv- cr be placed ill force.»

Alllcni; the important Ptovisiolls of the international rules for Tvnr are that prisoners of war must be humanely treated and that armies must not cmlllfly poison ads: must not kill on enemy uho has surren- dered; must not make improper use hi‘ ills ling of truce. and must not pillage.

[War Slglﬂafion n hli-gh

By Klrke L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst

Allied armies. millions strong. stand ready to test anew the boasted lmpregnability of the German “welt wall" defences.

Allied soldiers, from northern Holland to the Swiss border, stood face to face with every critical sector of those barriers, the lnvlncibllity of which already has been disproved in the Aachen breach to the Rucr.

Yard by yard the Germans were being hounded out of their inst footholds elsewhere beyond their frontiers, except in the extreme norm, Their grudglng retreat obviously was dictated by dwindling manpower reserves. by expectation that the final assault would conic in the north where Allied supply problems now are solved. and by the certainty that the German high command can spare no troops from the Russian or Italian fronts.

An unofficial recapitulation of estimated German army strength and dispositions ompiled at 21st army group headquarters sheds strong light on the German plight. It is presumably based on information gleaned by Allied Intelligence officers. While it credits the foe with up to 6.000.000 men under arms, only 1.250.000 are rated "really fit men" nf fighting age. That ls half the indicated strength of Allied ant-lies in the west alone.

Tile frontline survey argues that the only German hope of meeting the manpower strain as the Allied and Russian attacks develop fully would be to fall back on shorter communication and defence lines deep within Germany Itself. If that is true in the west, however, it is even truer in the east. southeast and south. If. suggests that the last resort. of the Germans will be to fall hack from the Vlstuln when the
