Mounted thickly in the precipitous, wooded heights east of the Moselle, the German artillery maintained a steady drumfire against doughty U. S. troops seeking to establish firm bridgeheads across the river. Farther to the south, Lieut. Gen. Alexander Patchs Seventh army, driving up from the Mediterranean for a juncture with Lieut. Gen.

However, it was pointed out, men with qualifications needed for the war in the Pacific will be transferred to the Far East regardless of their status. Because the war in the Pacific will receive first call on shipping, it may take many months for men eligible for demobilization to return to this country, the army said. Since men in camps here are expected to have the lowest priority ratings, they will constitute the principal pool for replacements. Since the U.
