It is on the road which leads between two swamplands just southwest of San Fernando, the shortest route to Man- ila.

Girls in flashing print dresses and wooden sandals headed a column of the Filipino Peoples Anti-Japanese Army (Hukbalahapas), waving flags of the United States and the free Philippines. Yanks entering Angeles passed a sign reading in English:f "Prohibit to pass this road except Japanese army."

The Third Army, in pushing to the Our river in several places, emu- lated the U. S. Ninth Army and the British Second Army, which have WESTERN FRONT Northern Sector: British and Americans closed up to Roer river, springboard for future offensive; Americans only 25 miles from Dus- seldorf. Central Sector: Americans swept to Luxembourg-German frontier on 23-mile front against no resistance; others mopped up more towns in Belgium close to the German bor- der. Alsatian Sector: Amerians drove Germans back to starting line of latest attack in Haguenau area; French menaced Colmar. reached the east banks of the Roer River system to the north.

Germans Weak in Alsace The enemy's northern Alsatian ven- ture, which this week threatened the province's capital of Strasbourg, eb- bed so low that U. S. Seventh Army forces were able to make only patrol contacts along the 20-mile front as they plowed through deep snow banks. The only activity reported was mopping up in Schillersdorf, 22 miles northwest of Strasbourg, and there was a feeling on that front that the German scheme to break across the Moder River line in an attempt to reconquer Alsace had been frustrat- ed. The main forces of the U. S. Ninth and British Second Armies were swinging up to the Roer River sys- tem at the gateway to the Ruhr.
