Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's 3rd army tanks and riflemen drove across the Marne at Epernay, pushed 13 miles northward to Reims and then swept on more -than 10 miles beyond that historic town to cross the Aisne at Neuf-cnatel. Neuf-cnatel. Simalaneously, Lt. Gen. Cour-Iney Cour-Iney Hodges' 1st army veterans '.stormed up from captured Sois-fsons, Sois-fsons, across the Chemin Des Dames, one of the bloodiest battlefields battle-fields of the World War I, and on Unto Laon. 12 miles above the 'Aisne. -Unofficial but apparently correct reports said Laon was captured cap-tured and that the Tanks had driven on beyond the city. The region between the Aisne had been reported one of the strongest outer bastions guarding ;the invasion roads to Germany, but today's sweeping progress indicated in-dicated the enemy had abandoned it almost without a fight. Sedan and the forest of the Ardennes, Ar-dennes, through which the German Ger-man armies poured in 1840 to collapse col-lapse France, were open to the American thrust northwest of Soi-son, Soi-son, and the forest of the Argon-ne Argon-ne on the road to Alsace-Lorraine, was 23 miles or less from Patton's spearheads beyond Chalons. (A German Transocean news agency broadcast said the Americans Ameri-cans had reached St. Dizier, 85 miles from the German border, 'hut claimed they had been driven back by Nazi counter- attacks.) Stiffer resistance was encountered encount-ered in the Seine bridgehead area above Paris, however, and official reports said the Germans were lighting a stubborn rear uard fiction there. T j A German communique announced an-nounced that Nazi forces had evacuated Rouen, on the Seine 65 'milts northwest of Paris, after destroying de-stroying all harbor Installations 'and "other objectives of military importance." The Germans apparently pulled put of Rouen, where Jeanne D'Arc was burned at the stake in the 3ubl4c market square May SO, 1431, to escape encirclement by Allied armies closing in from the outh and east in a drive toward 3the robot coast. The fall of Rouen was expect ed io speea uie AJiiea marcn on -Xe Havre, 45 miles to the west, 5and Dieppe, 37 miles to the north-West. north-West. - Another Allied column captured Itongchamps, 20 miles north of the Seine and 47 miles from Amiens, so-called capital of the robot coast. British forces were believed spearheading spear-heading the drive toward the ro-!bot ro-!bot platforms, spurred by the knowledge that the sooner they capture them, the sooner the rain of death on their families in southern England will cease. London ewspapers bannered reports re-ports that massed Allied tanks Were converging on the robot bases, bas-es, including some from which the Germans were reported preparing to hurl rockets each containing 10 to 20 tons of explosives against Britain. Polio Isolation Rooms Provided At The Infirmary Utah county seems to be a little lit-tle harder hit than the Test of the state in the current polio epidemic, epi-demic, or else physicians of other counties fail to make renorta of communicable disease as prompt ly as ine local pnysicians. Five of the 13 cases of infantile infan-tile paralysis known in the state are in Utah county. The outbreak, however, is not as serious nr widespread as last year when 63 cases were reported in the state for the corresponding period. Aroused by the possibility of a more serious epidemic, officers of fantile Paralysis Foundation, have maae arrangements with the county coun-ty commission to fit ud two rooms on the third floor at the county infirmary for use as an Isolation ward, not only for polio cases but other contagious diseases as well. Only cases which cannot be taken care of in individual homes will be admitted, it is reported. Countv commissioners anrf t J.

Gen. Geza Lakatos. was reported to have asserted that his government will continue in the war on Germany's side. Cairo reports said that the Bulgarian Bul-garian armistice most probably would be signed for the .British government by Lord Moyne, minister min-ister of state in the middle east, and for the United States by Lincoln Lin-coln Mac-Veagh, U. S. ambassador to Greece and Yugolsavia. Premier Lakatos was reported by the Hungarian news agency to have outlined a three-fold program pro-gram at the first meeting of his military government " continuation contin-uation of the war, preservation of internal order, and maintenance of current production levels with the hope of an increase. Meanwhile, Russia, which for mally denied yesterday that she recognized Bulgaria's neutrality declaration, turned to Turkey today to-day with a bitterly scornful article in official Soviet newspaper, Prav-da. Pointing out that almost a month had elapsed since the friendly" rupture of diplomatic relations between Turkey and Ger many, Pravaa , said tnat German diplomats and" military officials were in Turkey, enjoying diplo matic immunity and carrying on anti-Allied propaganda and espionage. "Such an ugly picture of fawn ing attitude of the Turks could only cause astonishment," Pravda said.
