Prices Effective Friday and Saturday Worst Setback Since Loss of The Philippines By JAMES McGLESCY United Press War Correspondent PARIS, Dec. 21 0J.R) This is the payoff. The United States army has suffered in Belgium and Luxembourg Luxem-bourg its worst setback since the loss of the Philippines in 1942. The Germans still are advancing, advanc-ing, and their counter-offensive probably has yet to reach its peak. Supreme headquarters acknowledges ac-knowledges that the situation Is grave and that it may become a lot graver before the tide of battle bat-tle turns. "We are confident that we are going to win this battle," an official of-ficial spokesman at supreme headquarters said last night, "but we are not going to win it this week and 'probably not next week." In the first three days alone, the Germans penetrated deeper into Belgium than we have been able to drive into Germany in three months. Luxembourg, capital capi-tal of the Duchy that was thought secure already may have fallen. The German command has thrown so much into its assault 152,000 to 225,000 men and perhaps per-haps as many as 600 tanks that it may aim to slash through to the North Sea. On the final outcome of' the German counter-offensive will depend whether the war in Europe Eu-rope will end quickly or agonizingly agoniz-ingly drag on into the summer of 1945 and perhaps even longer. Both sides have much to gain and much to lose. If the Germans could overrun a large area, they could inflict a shattering blow on the Allied armies. That alone could add months to the duration of the war, months In which lost stocks were replaced, new communications communica-tions lines painfully put together. On the other hand, the Germans Ger-mans may over-reach themselves and expose themselves to annihilation. anni-hilation. But at the moment, that is looking far ahead.
