By DWIGHT PITKIN
Associated Press War Editor
The battle for Germany opened full Mast today with Allied
forces reported to be storming defenses of the Nazi homeland
at both ends of the European plain.
__ Unofficial reports put American motorized forces across
Germany’s western border at three points on a winding front
of more than 100 miles. U. S. heavy botnhers blasted a path
for Allied armies stabbing into the outposts of the Seigfried
line by smashing at the Rhineland transport and industrial
centers of Stuttgart, Karlsuhe and Ludwigshafen.

British Enter Holland
The allied armies apparently
were attempting a breakthrough
into Germany’s west wall without
waiting for a cleanup of routed
German armies in France and the

column which captured Brussels
and Antwerp was reported to have
raced through Breda, five miles
inside Holland and less than an

"1 am fairly well ’satisfied with

Every i oom in each school build-

every effort has been made to pro-
vide the most pleasant surround-
ings in which Burger’s youth will
do its studying.
"The additional classroom work
now being done on three of the
schools will, of course, cause tu
some difficulties,” Cryer said, "but
the contractors and workers have
promised to cooperate in every
way possible in the protection of

their child will not be exposed to
unnecessary hazards caused by
