During the week, these units were reported active in the surroundings of Saarbrucken, the capture of some 200 sq. mi. including part of the right bank of the strategic Saar River (tributary of the Moselle), but they did not yet go up against the firm ramparts of the Westwall. It was unlikely they would do so before the French artillery-ponderous 155-mm. howitzers lobbing shells from far behind; flat-shooting 755 moving up into the cleared area-have pounded at the Wall forts for many days. The concrete fortresses of the Maginot Line are 150 ft. deep in some...
...distance to go, were the slowest to blast their way to Warsaw's outer defenses. Impeded at the Narew River after taking Plonsk and Pultusk, they were halted last week at the Bug. At the junction of the Narew and the Vistula, the fort city of Modlin had yet to fall at week's end. But artillery diverted for this defense weakened the Poles on the southwest. Smashing into Cracow, Germany's armies of the south swept on into the Industrial Triangle to take Sandomierz, Poland's munitions centre. Mechanized columns, whirling far ahead of infantry...

Dr. Jungeblut has not yet tried vitamin C injections in human patients, but he feels sure that "a low level of vitamin C nutrition predisposes to infection and severity of attack...
...hooting Paris sirens and the suspense of the six-hour-long silence from Paris were considerably beyond the limit of radio's rules for mystery serials. Even in prizefight broadcasts a fighter may be cut, but he never bleeds, yet from Warsaw NBC had broadcast into U. S. parlors bashed brains, hacked-off hands, slaughtered children. Commentators, necessarily, were far from neutral. The European news reports broadcast were censored at the source, and amounted to little more than propaganda (even though the press printed no less censored news). In addition to all this, the cost had been terrific...
