WAR
Gains
On
Western
Front
PARIS
British
troeps
and
armor
have
joined
the
Allied
counter-attack
against
Field
Marshal
Gerd
von
Rundstedt's
Belgium
salient.
An
official
announcement
disclosing
that
British
troops
are
in
action,
against
the
Belgian
salient
does
,not
indicate
the
specific
sector
where
the
Second
Army
units
are
engaged.
American
forces
have
made
important
advances
in
Belgium.
The
Americans
have
gained
as
much
as
three
and
one-half
miles
against
German,
positions
at
the
northern
end
of
the
Belgian
front.
All
gains'
made
by
these
American
First
Army
troops
were
made
daring
a
blizzard.
The
First
Army
now
is
about
twelve
miles
from
a
juncture
with
the
American
Third
Army
moving
up
from
the
south.
The
Third
Army
has
been
gaining
in
a
yard-by-yard
advance
and
there
seems
little
chance
that
the
two
arrties
will
join
forces
In
the
very
near
future.
More
than

of
snow'

much
of
the
battlefield,
and
visibility
has
been
extremely
poor.
The
grounding
of
all
aircraft
is
reacting
in
favor
of
the
Germans
who
are
able
to
reinforce
their
troops
without
danger
to
their
communication
lines.
