Both of these are on the bank across from Duesseldorf. Ninth Army is surging forward in a thirty-mile 8weep, fro~ the historic city of Cologne northward ■■ _ to the factory town of Irefeld, and scores of places•• have been seized in an area tightly ~acked with industry. lhe Germana in retreat everywhere - the enemy in a hasty attempt to get back across the river. And tonight American artillery is firing at targets on the opposite bank, along the front wh•re the •mericans stand in a new kind of watch on the Rhine a Wacht-am-Rhein that i* strikes terror in G er11any. 7 ~be AaePiO&fl artillery ie fi1i1~ acroee \he Pi¥eP all aloAg lb~ froet •~ere ihe hmerica~e e\and ia • Rew kind ef w&teh en the Hhine a Waeh~ Am•Rhin& To the south, General Patton's Third Army drove ahead too, and took one of Germany's fa ■ ous cities, Trier perhaps, Treves (Treevea). , _ _ _ ; _ .,,---- A These matters of pronunciation are of ao ■e consequence - political consequence. In England, the British broadcasting Company today altered its previous practice in talking about still another German City. instead of Aachen, B.B.C. said - Aix-la-Cbappelle. This, we are told, followed a suggestion from Prime Minister Churchill, who pointed out that the names of many Rhineland cities have both a German and a French form, and he suggested that the French form be used. That may well be taken . as a hint that the Rhineland is to be turned•• over to France, in which case the )rench forms of the names would become official. Any~ay, on the air in Britain ~·~- ... ~ today, Aachen,~ecame Aix-la-CbaooPlla, 1 I . uiy . self i , ~ht n ule that I, myself, have been Cblling it a ix-la-Chapelle all along - though wit hou t any political id ea. Aix-la-Chappelle is French a ll r igh t, but then it is classic English too. In times past, England had much to do in the w~rs in W estern Germany, and English literature of the period established its own usage 6-4- the names of cit&. For exa1nple, t"he historic town captlr ed by General Patton's Third today has two forms of name - German and French. But German Trier has also a traditional 1nglish form Treeves. And, in these matters of foreign names - why not fall back on English forms whenever we can. '1fter all, it 'ts the language ~umenl1ere along the he s lern Front, a ne~spb v ermbn ventured far into the fighting area - (into a section wn re uer~~n artillery was trying to knocA out a briage) uhella ~ere bursting nearby, when he hap~eoed to ai ■ notice an odd sight - two American soldiers slav~in~ e~ch other on the bacK in violent greetin~, and snouting welcome to each other. Thili ~a~ so curious that the United Presa Corres~ondent, C. R. Cunnin~ham, made his ~ay over to investigate - why all the friendly rejoicint, with shells banging here and there? He found that the two soldiers, both Corpcrala, were brothers - who nadn't seen each otner in two and a half years. They ~ e and George Baily, sons of llrs. A. W. Baily of 1a~hintton, D. C.
