LONDON, Sept. 15 —(A3)— The
cities of Nancy and Maastricht,
strongholds at opposite ends of a
180-mile front, fell today to the
battering offensive of American
armies which had driven with shat-
tering force into the depths of the
Siegfried line at three places.
Nancy, a famed French bastion
on tlie banks of the Meiuthc, in a
crook below the Moselle, fell in the
southern onslaught of Lieutenant
General George S. Pattons third
army.
Masstricht. Netherlands city
guarding the Meuse canal where the
Oermans made their fateful cross-
ings into Belgium in 1940. fell dur-
ing fierce penetrations of German
defenses north of half-encircled
Aachen, the Oerman high command
said.
Citizenry Celebrates
Nancy Is 68 miles from the Stras-
bourg crossing of the Rhine. The
Oermans. who had reported the
jaws of an iron vise closing upon
the city to the southeast and north-
cast, withdrew during the night and
fired scarcely a shot as an Ameri-
can general led the way in a Jeep
into tlie heart of the wildly cele-
biating city.
A force of Lieutenant General
Courtney Hodges’ U. S. first army ,
which crossed the frontier of the
Dutcli province of Limburg yester-
day, was said by the Germans to
have advanced to a point near
Valkenburg, 12 miles northeast of
Aachen, in the course of tlie sweep
through Maastricht. ■
Aachen Under Fire -
Aachen, under artillery fire from
tlie Americans who had advanced
to points within a mile of the city
from the soutli and southeast, was
threatened with an encirclement
such as toppled Nancy.

Another Force Advances
Another Russian force 30 miles to

the Warka region, threatening to

has been reported above Warsaw.
The assault on Warsaw surpassed
in human drama all the other suc-
cesses on the eastern front, although
these included:
1. Capture of a third to a half of
the 16,642 square miles of Transyl-
vania, which Hitler assigned to Hun-
gary. The provincial capital of
Cluj. whose 100.000 population
make it the largest Romanian-

The biggest guns of the United
States navy shelled Palau, reef-
protected island fortress 600 miles
east of the Philippines, as marine
and soldiers charged ashore 'j
the face of fierce Japanese resist-
ance.
Only 10 Japanese were on the
meach of Morotai, 300 miles south
of the Philippines, and they fled
as United States landing barges
made a surprise landing while Gen-
eral Douglas MacArthur watched
from a cruiser.
“Defeat now stares Japan in the
face," MacArthur said as the two-
way campaign to take him back
to the Philippines was "entering
upon its decisive stage."
Beachheads Hacked Out
Assault troops hacked out beach-
heads in the Palau islands, might-

the Pacific war, under cover of
a thundering air and naval bar-
rage from Admiral William F. Hal-
sey's third fleet.
"Landings are continuing against
stiff ground opposition," said Ad-
miral Chester W. Nlmitz's brief
announcement of the Invasion.
He did not say which of the
100 Palau islands were hit but

icans landed on Peleliu. Hie low-

Tokyo claimed 2.500 Americans
