With a great force of American
armored troops poised in an as

In their first great victory of the
war, captured Marseille today as1
a rampant American armored
column plunged 140 miles north
from the Mediterranean into
Grenoble, 183 airline miles from
Germany,
The French struck into Mar
seille, second city of France, from
a siege arc curled around it by
Maj. Gen. Alexander M. Patch's
conquering Franco - American
Seventh Army and crushed all
but a few pockets of Nazi resis
tance nine days after the Allied
invasion of Southern France.
Nazis Hold Toulon
East of Marseille the bomb
groggy Nazis still were holding
out in- the great naval base of
Toulon, but the French steadily
were pushing them to tty? sea with
bayonets and hand grenades.
The whirlwind northward drive
by the American spearhead which
rolled almost at will through the
Maquis-controlled Maritime Alps
put Gen. Patch's forces within less
than 240 miles of a junction with
Lt. Gen George S. Patton's Third
Army in the north.

"The main battle for France is

Only swarms of German war

Supreme headquarters lifted
the cloak of secrecy only en

Sens, which is 65 miles southeast S
of Paris, and to report the tight- 1

"When the time is ripe, Allied

Florence's position had been
jrecarious since August 4, when

the American forces forging north
across the Seine northwest of
Paris in an attempt to pin the bat
tered Seventh and 15th German
armies against the sea.
But the speed with which these
spearheads have been moving, and
with the power of German arms
sapped by the Normandy beatings,
it was difficult to see how an en
emy stand could he organized
short of the Siegfriend line along
Germany's western and southern
frontiers.
Headquarters' also had no com
ment on the deliverance of Paris,
which Ut. Gen. Joseph Pierre
Koenlg, commander of French
Forces of the Interior, proclaim
ed four years and *74 days from
the hour that Adolf Hitler's leg
ions marched under the Arc De
Triomphe.
Presumably American forces
which drove through Ramboulllet
and Tampes, 27 and 30 miles
respectively southwest of Paris,
were engaging German forces
fighting with their backs to a city
now in hostile hands Capture of
Pithiviers, 48 miles south of Par
is, also was. confirmed.
American columns battled the
enemy in the forest of Fontaine
bieau, 35 miles southeast of the
capital. They were believed to
be attacking forces bypassed in
the Doughboy inarch on Sens
along a front within 55 miles of
Chateau-Thierry and the Marine
battlefields of World War I.
This was the only hint of en
emy opposition in strength in this
sector of a spreading front which
now reaches from the sea at Trou
ville 170 miles sou heast ward tu
Sens. At last reports no opposi
tion had been struck around Sens,
indicating the enemy had once
more left liis flank exposed on
the south, a neglect that spelled
disaster in Normandy.
C'aiiadiaiiM Charge Ahead
In the battle of the Seine loop
northwest of Paris, Canadians on
the west were charging ahead at
a pace of from 10 to 16 miles a
day, but Belgians and Dutch along
the coast ran into heavy going
after rolling to Trouvilie, seven
miles across the Seine estuary
from Le Havre.
