lead in sidetracking it.
Without a dissenting vote, tha
some 1,600 memberj of the con
vention adopted a resolution of
fered by Rush S. Dickson, Char-^
lotte financier, providing that
Meredith College for women at
Kaleigh and Wake Forest College
at Wake Forest, 17 miles distant,
be maintained as separate institu
tions.
The resolution pledged the con
vention to support the extension
of both institutions. It also stipu
lated that young women could en
ter any class at Wake Forest that
they might wish. Heretofore they
have been restricted to the junior
and senior classes.
In addition, the convention Tot
ed for an enlarged Council on

Zeno Wall of Shelby explained,
would be charged with the de
tails of carrying out the conven
tion's decisions.

Dickson, head of a committer
formed to promote unification of
the two colleges, read the resolu
tion which he said had been ap

Tighten Seige
Around Metz
Supreme Headquarters .Allied
Expeditionary Force* Paris, Nov.
15. ? American Doughboys by
passed bloody Fort Driaut today
and boiled in close to the suburbs
of Metz from three sides, clamp
ing the great fortress city in a
death grip, while in the north
British troops? drove five miles
through the boglands of easteri;
Holland to within 37 miles ol
the key German industrial center
of Duisburg.
A dispatch direct from the field
said the French First Army also
had launched an attack, advanc
ing /our to five milec on a 25
mile front covering both banks of
the Dubs Kiver on the approaches
to the Belfor-t gap on the eastern
most part of the front.
l^oiiK Front Ablaze
The American Seventh Army,
with which the French First is
teamed, aB the Sixth Army group,
already was in action in the: J
Vosges mountains, so that the Al
lies now are on the offensive on
a largescale from Holland to
Switzerland, with the exception of
the American First Army sector
which has been comparatively
qulet since the fall of Aachen.
Both Fort Driant and Fort Jean
D'Arc? two of the nine' majoi
bastions ringing Metz? were neu
tralized by Lt. Gen. George S.
Patton's 95th Division, which cap
tured two smaller forts, Hubert
and Jussy, as it smashed toward
the outskirts of the city from the
west. Fort Iilance, 14 miles north
of Metz and just south of Thion
ville, also was stormed and its
Nazi garrison killed or captured.
Driant's Guns Silenced
Driant's guns, which barlced
spasmodically yesterday when the
Yanks began pushing past it ou
the north, were silent today, sug
gesting that the Germans had
abandoned the mighty mile-and
a-half-long structure on the west
bank of the Moselle River as they
previously had evacuated Forts
L'Yser and L'Aisne after only
small-arms resistance.
Due south of Metz the Ameri
can Fifth Division inched forward
to within little more than a mile
of the city while beating off some
of the most determined counter
attacks the Nazis have raised
since Patton's forces opened their
winter assau.lt eight days ago.
Peltre, two and a half miles
southeast of Metz, was cleared1 of
the enemy, and German counter
attacks were beaten oft along
nearby Pouilly Ridge, from which
American guns command the en
emy's main escape route tfom
Metz eastward to the Saar fron
tier.
Nazi Attack Stopped
The Germans, employing their
first substantial force of armor
since the American attack began,
also 8truck>back viciously against
an infantry division south of
Remllly Forest, southeast of
Metz, but the Yanks stopped them
cold and pushed within four
miles of the city o( Falkenberg
(Faulquemont) which is only 10
miles from the German border.
(Possibly preparing the Ger
man people for the Imminent loss
of Metz, Capt. Ludwig Sertoriu3,
leading Nazi military commenta
tor, observed that the famous
fortress ciity "represents only an
outer position, for holding of
which one does not wage decisive
battle but engages only a smaller
amount of forces ? Just enough
to force the enemy to strong
wear and tear of strength.")

Bitterest Fight of Philip
pines Campaign Is Rag
ing in Jungles of Leyte
Allied Headquarters, Leyte,
I Thursday, Nov. .^16. ? U. S. 24ta
' Division troops, in a double fiank
1 ing drive, have almost completely
' encircled a regiment of Japanese
at the northern end of the Ormoc
corridor and the Seventh Division
in a two-mile advance up the west
coast of Leyte, has pushed to
within 10 miles of the last enemy
stronghold port of Ormoc, it was
announced today.
Maj.-Gen. Frederick A. Irving'a
24 Division forces, fighting almost
three weeks without relief in tha
steaming Leyte jungles and moun
tains, all hut snapped the trap
shut on a Japanese regiment ?
3,000 to 4,000 men ? by driving
toward the corridor road from
both east and west at a point
slightly south of the town of
Limon, 20 miles up the highway
from Ormoc.
Savage Fighting
The Japanese were fighting
stubbornly from caves and hill
positions around Limon, at tha
western end of a two-mile hair
pin turn in the road running from,
the north coast of Leyte south to
Ormoc, but the Americans ?low!y
were annihilating them in sovagj
hand-to-hand fighting, front dis
patches reported.
"Units of the 24th Division, by
a double envelopment have prac
tically severed the Ormoc road in
the rear of enemy defense posi
tions at Limon," Gen. Douglas
MacArthur's daily war bulletin
said.
A United Press front dispatch
said that the 24th had neared "if
not in fact, reached the Ormoc
road," in its drive to cut the last
escape route for the Japanese ds
fenders of Limon, a major bas
tion in the enemy's so-called
"Yamashita Line."
The 21st Regiment of the 24t*i
Division meanwhile continued to
maintain heavy frontal pressure
along the road north of Limon,
reaching to within three-fourth of
a mile of the town and killing 1,
000 Japanese on Tuesday.
