Show Germans Plan To Make Fools Of Allies Again By LEON KAY United Press War Correspondent BRITISH 21ST ARMY GROUP HQ.. March 24 (UJ9 Sir Bernard L. Montgomery sent hit armies across the Rhine today with the warning that the Germans who won the peace after the last war were now "planning to make fools of you again." In a letter to all his commands, Montgomery said the Germans would undertake a sweeping campaign to enlist sympathy in order to continue the fight and he warned his men that they must refrain entirely from fraternization fraterniza-tion in order to win both the war and the peace. The last time we won the war and let the peace slip through our hands and this time we must not ease off we must win both the war and the peace," he said. "You will have to remember that these same Germans are planning to make fools of you again and to escape the loathing which their actions deserve . . . our consciences are clear: 'non-fraternization' 'non-fraternization' to us implies no revenge. We have no theory of master races. But a guilty nation must not only be convicted. It must realize its guilt. Only then can the first steps be taken to reeducate re-educate it and to bring it back into the society of decent humanity." hu-manity." Before jumping off Montgomery's Montgom-ery's troops also were read messages mes-sages from their commander and from Prime Minister Churchill. In this message, Montgomery pointed out that German casualties casual-ties since February 8 amounted to about 250.000 and said: "The enemy . . . has been driven into a corner and he cannot escape . . complete and decisive defeat of the Germans is certain . . . having hav-ing crossed the Rhine we will crack about in the plains of northern Germany, chasing the enemy from pillar to post The swifter and more energetic our action the sooner the war will be over and that is what we all desire." de-sire." Churchill's message said that "once the (Rhine) river line is pierced and the crust of German resistance broken the decisive victory in Europe will be near. May God prosper our arms in noble no-ble adventure after our long struggle for king and country, for dear life and for the freedom of mankind." Girl Veteran Of Marine, Bride SAN FRANCISCO (U.R) One of the five women serving in the United States Merchant Marine was "beached', in San Francisco recently and proved to be young gay, beautiful, and a bride. Always "mad about" the sea, 20-year - old Vivienne Servant asked the port dispatched in Seattle Seat-tle in March. 1944, if there was anything a girl could do on ship. Dubious at first, he signed her as steward on learning that she had had nurse's training and was a seasoned traveler. Her father, a former physician, took his children chil-dren through every state in the nation to test his theory that travel is the best education. Longest stop anywhere for the traveling miss was at Memorial College in Harrogate, Tenn., where she spent 18 months. Since receiving her papers from the War Shipping Administration last year she has sailed to the Pacific from the Aleutians to the tropics. Looking back on long, anxious cruises, during which she nursed wounded men, she said that for adventure and the satisfying feeling of being "in it" there is nothing like her job.

CONGER United Press War Correspondent ACROSS THE RHINE WITH THE 9TH ARMY, March 24 (U.R) The United States 9th army crossed the Rhine early today and speared out towards Berlin against resistance so light it suggested sug-gested this campaign would be the last of the European war. The Americans pushed off at 2 a. m. after a mighty barrage by massed artillery- The sky was red1 from that barrage and the terrific attack by Allied warplanes just ahead. They were using hundreds of assault boats, manned in part by men of the United States navy. I went across the river in an assault boat with a battalion commander. com-mander. Over two hours later when I returned to file this dispatch, dis-patch, the battalion had not reported re-ported a single casualty. It had taken only half dozen prisoners and was advancing against what could hardly be called resistance. German artillery artil-lery was putting up only sporadic fire in our sector. Germans Full Back The division, crossing north of the Ruhr area, jumped off one hour after its neighboring out fit to the north. We had the bene fit of an additional hour of earth-shaking earth-shaking artillery barrage. But the Germans had had an hour of warning war-ning to prepare for us. Apparently Apparent-ly they used it to pull bacK. This mighty offensive, invol ving the crossing of a major ri ver, started in hamlets several miles from the Rhine, where the men and vehicles had been hid den for the past few days. About 10 o'clock last night they fin ished a late supper and checked and rechecked their equipment Then the column of trucks ar rived. Then men took one last drag on their cigarets and climbed climb-ed aboard. The column rolled slowly foward through a still night under a nearly full moon. We hit the rendezvous on the dot. Two more companies arrived and their darkened vehicles slid into their appointed places. Four miles from the Rhine, the battalion bat-talion dismounted and the trucks turned back for more men. We were ahead of schedule as we marched down the road and we paused frequently, hearing the sullen, distant rumbling of the British 2nd army's artillery barrage bar-rage which started at midnight. At 1 a. m. on the nose, the 9th army's massed artillery roared roar-ed with deadly salvoes across the Rhine, repeated every few minutes. min-utes.

At 2 a. m. we started forward again. The army barrage was going into high. The roar was so continuous con-tinuous you had to put your lips in a man's ear and yell to make yourself heard. The ground was shuddering under every step and the sky was brilliantly lighted by great flashes through the clouds and smoke. In the distance were great leaping angry flames and farther on a dull red glow. We were moving across flat terrain, completely devoid of cover, guided by white strips of tape on the ground, we moved in columns and close enough togeth er for the man in front to be only five or 10 yards away. It looked like a college snake dance so many figures silhouetted against the moonlight. Finally we stopped and waited anxiously on the bank and in the open for our turn to make the crossing. The first troops went across at 3 a. m. and were were waiting for the boats to return. Guides finally led us. at a dogtrot, dog-trot, across the last yards to the boats. The columns already had been arranged by boat groups. We found ours. The outboard motor caught on the first pull and we're on our way across the Rhine. Pandemonium of Noise-Both Noise-Both sides of the river were now a pandemonium of noise. But on the river itself, the only noise was the whine of motors. In a few minutes our boat crunched against the sandy east bank and we started inland in the crouching shuffle infantrymen infantry-men use when they don't know what is ahead and expect fire at any minute. There was considerable consid-erable small arms fire all around us but none was coming our way. We reached a shelter quickly and the colonel, with his walkie-talkie walkie-talkie men and a couple of colored col-ored flashlights, started assembling assemb-ling his men for the continued advance. He rounded up "A" and "B" companies and learned that "C" company was assembling on the river's edge.
