the rest had been lied or wounded "on the other side" of the lines.

The General said that obviously the Germans did not want the British and Canadian troops to get hold oi a bridgehead over the Orne River east oi Caen.

A Very Good Day

"Yesterday it was done," he said.

t was a very good day indeed yesterday, an extremely good day. We gained tactical surprise and now have very strong armored and mobile forces away to the south and southeast of Caen."

Progress to the east and south- east of Caen had been good, he indicated, but there was still “a lot to be done."

Gen. Montgomery appeared quite confident about‘ the present battle east the Orne and also the American advances to the west which have resulted in the cap- ture oi St. Lo.

The figures showed that the Al- lies were attaining one of their objectives, which was “to write off German personnel and equip- ment," and "bleed the German military machine to death."

British Well Equipped

The British army he. been sent to Normandy better equipped than any British army ever had been. He described its equipment as "magnificent? and cited the Brit- ish II-pounder anti-tank gun ‘as an example. It was superior m every way to any anti-tank gun the Germans had and this in- cluded the enemy 83-min. gun. He warned against any “tendency to decry" the British army's weapons.

Canadian and Bri troops were using this l7-pounder, said Gen. Montgomery. and they think it is "the cat's whiskers."

Seven powerful Russian armies now are hitting the reeling Ger- mans on a TOO-mile front in the greatest combined attack ever launched in the east.

German radio broadcasts ack- nowledged the crossing of the Bug, and said the Germans sup- ported by heavy tank formations were strikingqback fiercely in an effort to keep the Russian horde oif the Polish plains leading to German Silesia, 246 miles west of Sokal.

It was estimated the Russians now have hurled 1,500,000 troops against the Germans and still have hot unleashed all their pavi- er. Other Russian armies were waiting to spring forward in the sector from Ostrov north through Pskav to Narva in Estonia, and on the southern end of the front from Lwow southeastward‘ through Ro- mania to the Black Sea.

The Bug River sector of the Nazis‘ “east wall" in Poland. from which the disastrous attack~on Russia was launched, is fast disintegra- ting between the jaws of the vast Rod Army vise clamped upon it from nbrth of Brest Litovsk to south of Lwow.

That north-south water hazard. cutting through central Pelaml for nearly 200 miles from the Carpathian foothills to the western extremity of Pinsk marshes. is in deadly danger by Berlin's sombre admission. Be- hind lt lies no strong river barrier along which tottering German armies eln rally until the Vktula is reached. And it. too. i: vulnerable. Linked with broadening and deepening Allied footholds in Norman- dy and new Allied advances in Italy, the new Russian blew on the Bug lends credence to a Moscow-published cry from a ruptured German General that Hitler recently hail told his commanders “the way to vic- tory is through faith in Nazism."
