__ i1 By Iii l». MICK. Alloolntol Prom War Analyst

I Nazi broadcasters have shouted “wolf” so often in announcing "major" Russian nr Allied offcnslvcs that they are no‘. to he trusted. They arc serving some home-front purpose oi’ their own, possibly to keep public apprehension stirred u|i or possibly in hopes of claiming im- portant victories ll’ the operation 11o described proves an affair of limit- cd objective.

For that reason Berlin assertions that the United States 3rd Anny has launched a full scale break-through effort against the Men-guard- i ed Lorraine: Gateway to the Upper Rhino must ho accepted with cau- | lion. That it has somc definite relationship to Allied preparations to turn or blast a. way through the German Rhlneland defence wall goes without laying.

Thor: ll no good reason to doubt, however. that tho nut Alllod main power blow in the west will fall on the Netherlands extension of tho Siegfried Line. That hiu been implicit in every Allied move since the sweep thraulh Franco and Belgium reached German frontiers too far ahead nf its supply lines to push on immediately to the Rhine.

The objective for which the 3rd Army is reported to have seven divisions in battle on ll. fill-mile wide front from north of Met! to cast of Nancy could be to turn the powerful Met: defensive blrrler h! failed to take by assault.

The capture or isolation of tho Met: fortrcris would unquestionably put Patton's forces in a position to strike toward the German frontier and the Saar river just behind it.
