To the north, the 95th Infantry Division attacked Fort ThionvUls on the east bank of the Moselle from long-held postions in the town of Thionville on the west bank, and quickly beat its garrison into submission with drum fire barrage. Flank Drive Menaced Forts Supreme Allied headquarters, announcing the occupation of the three forts south of Metz, said the "enemy began a withdrawal in tha Metz area," obviously as a lesult of Lt. Gen. George S.

Patton's wide outflanking drives which left tha Metz forts precariously suspended. Tanks and infantry on the right flank drove six miles, reaching within 20 miles of Saai brucken, before runnin into counterblows that forced them back a mile. The resistance on the ilanks, aimed at keeping open a nine-mile wide corridor to and from Met, generally atiffened but Patton's eight divisions nevertheless captured; a total of 12 more towns and averaged an advance of one to four mUes along their 60-mile front.

DICKINSON ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Philippines, Tuesday, Nov. 14 (UV-The Japaneae have committed five divisions possibly 50.000 to 75.000 men, to the showdown defense of Leyte Island, with two diviaions fighting savagely to stem the United States 24th Division hammering down the Plnamopoan-Or-moc Road, Gen.

Douglas MacAr-tbur announced tosjay. A headquarters disclosed that Lt. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamaahita had thrown in a new division, the 26th, into the critical fighting in the rugged mountain areas north of Ormoe where the steady American advance in the face of increasingly strong Japanese resistance apparently had fruatrated the Japanese commander's battle plan. Jap Plans Dislocated "I he enemy a general prepara tions for a counterattack have been dislocated by our current offensive drives that have penetrated to potential assembly areas, compelling him to the premature and piecemeal commitment of his forces toward the front of the main bastion of the Yamaahita Line," MacAr-thur said.

A supplementary communique revealed that American fighter patrols continued to cover the Central Visayas. Strong enemy air cover waa met with 12 Jap fighters shot down and four others probably destroyed. Two enemy planes, one a transport, were shot down off Palawan, westernmost of the Philippine Islands. Some of the most sanguinary fighting of the entire Pacific war waa raging along the Ormoc Road and In the adjoining mountain areas to the east, where hard-charging American 24th Division infantrymen and dismounted cavalrymen of the Firat Cavalry Division (Continued on Page 2, Column 2) Japs Recapture Patau Island 200 Nipponese Land On Ngeregong; Yank Navy Blockades Position tfr rACOTC -rtEET-lTKAD.

The loss of Liuchow virtually throws the 14th back on its Kunming base over 400 miles further west, with only two small fields from which to carry on its heroic efforts to bolster China's ground forces. The Chinese defeats at Liuchow and Kweilln give Japan one of her greatest strategic victories In the China war. The 14th haa bean driven far back from the China coast; Chinese ground troops will hsve less sir support; Japan can now consolidate in East) China, and a land route from Shanghai to Singapore may be opehed soon. Japs Three Minutes Away The decision to blow up the Liuchow baae waa reached when Japanese planea established themselves within three-minute striking distance by air. depriving the weary 14th pilots and ground crews of all hope of even a minute's warning of Japanese attacks.

Until the last the American pilots carried out two and three missions daily. Liuchow obviously was doomed when the Jspanese executed an "end run," by-passing Kweilin's elaborate defenses south of the city and rolling toward Liuchow, sometimes advancing 20 miles dally. Planes of the 14th continued to take off on strafing? snd bombing missions from a field at Liuchow lost a total of 218 combat vessels including the undersea craft. The Berlin radio spokesman. Dr.
