Their offensive has already run over 20 square miles, most of it in Germany.

Drawn Into Battle More and more Germans been drawn into the semi-aquatic battle which is steadily turning the German flank in the north. The Rhine was reached at Hur- endeick. There the river is nor- mally but 3,270 feet .wide, but breaches in the dykes of the deso- late low-lands have made the Rhine even more imposing, for at low points nocrth of Kleve and west of Emmerich the Rhine is as wide as the English Channel between Calais and Dover. Flood waters eight feet deep are leaving only islands of sunken vil- | lages. Harassing German artillery fire increased on the United States Seventh Army front in Alsace dur- ing the night, 500 shells dropping into positions near Schweighouse, near Hagenau. - MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF MEMORIAL CHURCH MEETS ‘The Missionary Society of Memor- ial Church will meet at 7:30 o'clock this evening.
