Two Ambassadors Named By King

OTTAWA, Nov. l’! — (C?) — Prime Minister liftickenzie King announced tonight the appoint- ments oi Hon. W. F. A. Turgeon as Canadian Ambassador to Bel- gium and Canadian Minister to Luxembourg and of H. L. Keenic_v- side as Canadian Ambassador to Mexico.

Mr. Turgeon has held a number of important posts abroad in the Canadian diplomatic service, serv-

War soulful Last_

i l Night i l} I Bv KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Precl War Analyfl) Bitter-cud German resistance and clogging mud limited lniflal I gains of the American two-army break-through attempt in the Aachen sector in Germany, but Berlin admissions of line breaks encouraged hope that as§lgned objectives can be reached before the foe can bol- ster his sagging front.

Just what those objectives are is not yet quite clear. Cologne, the German city straddling. the Rhine less than 30 miles from American sd- vance elements, seems the obvious focal point of the massive shoulder- to-shouldcr forward [unite of the First and Ninth armies.

First impressions that the two armies had been deployed on u Gil-mile front from southeast of Aachen to the vicinity of the British - 2nd Army invested R ‘ on the Meuse are not borne out. by latter advices. Gen. Eisenhower appears to have concentrate his main at- tack on u sector barely 25 miles wide. As later Indicated the American two-army front runs from the vicinity of Geilenkirchen. due north of Aachen, to a point south of Duren.

That virtually parallels the next formidable ‘ ‘ obstacle cou- fronting the advancing troops. It is the Roer tributary of the Mane (Mouse). a minor stream in dry weather but now a muddy morass due to rain. The river flows through what is little more than gully; but crossing it under fire under present conditions could not fall to pro- vide o difficult task.

The implication to be drawn from the indicated narrow deploy- ment of the two American armies and from the British success in the Rocrrnond sector to the north is that possession and use of the roads fanning out of Aachen to cross the Itocr inward Cologne is of prime importance to the Allied battle plan. Even with Roer bridges del- troyed their foundations would permit quick construction of emergency spans. On both sides of the little river conditions away from tho hard surfaced roads as described in field dispatches tends to restrict mechanized elements.

As this was written American approach to the west bank of the Boer along the whole front was indicated. In addition, should British forces to the north succeed in forcing the Mans, the Rocr would be cutflanked to aid the American advance toward Cologne. 0n the right of the American 1st Army. advance elements appeared to have reached the narrow upper stretches of the Roe!" south of Duren. A crossing there would outflank the Itocr from the south.
