German reports continue to be quite vague, only stating that the campaign now entering its fourth day, was proceeding according to plans. Adolf Hitler was reported to be in a front line headquarters, Personally directing the attacks which now sees more than 1,000,- 000 Nazis engaged in battle. Mid-summer weather is being experienced by the offensive and defending troops, the hot -sun bearing down on scenes of ter- rific fighting, causing much suf- | fering, especially to mechanized troops in tanks and planes. Allied dispatches stated that no other sectors had experienced any setbacks, though, in a few positions, the troops were with- drawing from forward positions to main lines of defense. MRS.
