Allies Advance On All Fronts
International News Servicee
German artillery aimed a thunderous barrage against the Yankheld bridge across the Saar river in Saarlautern today, but failed to stop Yank troops pouring across to the east banks where they had seized half of the city by noon today.
Third army troops seized the sole remaining bridge across the Saar in a swift advance which surprised the Nazis and prevented its destruction.
Spectacular advances on practically all of the fronts marked the day's fighting. Concluded was a British second army drive to seize possession of the entire west bank of the Maas river, and U.S. first army capture of the town of Brandenburg southeast of Hurtgen in a cleanup of Nazis in the Roer river valley.
Opposition at Julich
Ninth army troops encountered stiff opposition in the eastern outskirts of Julich, but a weakened German line was noted as they drove across the Inde river to clear the western portion of Inden of the enemy. Other Yank forces captured Lucherberg after brisk fighting, while still others raced forward beyond Luchen to reach the great Hitler highway between Aachen and Cologne.
On the Italian front British eighth army gains were limited in a drive against Faenza, while in Hungary three powerful Soviet armies swept forward on as many fronts and at one point on the east of Budapest reached a point less than 70 miles from Austria.
Columns of the U. S. seventh army and the French first army tightened their giant pinecers around German positions in the Vosges mountains and latest reports said the Nazi escape gap was only 10 miles wide. Limited Gains in Italy
BUY U.S. WAR BONDS
Nearly 38 hours of rain reported Rubber boots, slickers, and rain hats were donned today by K. U. students as rain has continued to fall. According to a statement by Prof. C. J. Posey, there has been 2.6 inches of rain in the past 48 hours, with temperatures ranging from 32 to 39 degrees.
Torrential rains continued to balk the advance of American forces against the Japs on Leyte island in the Philippines.

ASC Will Have Meeting For All University Students
All University students, regardless of whether or not they are members of the All-Student Council, are urged to attend a meeting of the council tomorrow night at 7 o'clock in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building, Jack Button, secretary of the council announced this morning. "Important plans for future action will be decided upon," Button said.
Although the council secretary made no statement as to what kind of action would be taken up, it is probable the recent trouble over the publication of the "Sour Owl" will be discussed.
Air Delegates Make Agreement
Chicago—(INS)—Delegates to the international civil aviation conference tackled a tentative draft of the "main agreements" today. The draft represents what is left of the original proposals as submitted when the conference started deliberation over a month ago. The agreement was finished last night, but as it neared its present form an increasing number of points was dropped. Among the more important of these was that bearing on "freedoms of the air" over which the British and other delegations split.
The question of how much freedom of the air will be permitted in the postwar world now is embodied in two separate documents apart from the main agreement. One grants only the privileges of uninterrupted flight over another nation's soil with landing only for traffic. The other document grants three additional freedoms of the air including the right of commercial entry in accordance with wishes of the U.S. delegation to the conference.
Sherwood Addresses All Religious Groups At Union Meeting
Idabelle Bradley, College junior, headed the committee which planned the union meeting.
Addressing an assembly of student religious groups at a union meeting in the Kansas room last night, Dr. Noble P. Sherwood of the bacteriology department chose as his subject "Medicine, War and Religion." He emphasized the importance of a religious faith strengthened by a knowledge of science and the need of courage to stand up for one's convictions.
More than 170 persons representing 11 organizations crowded the Kansas room to join in singing and recreational games led by Violet Conard, Education junior, and to participate in the devotions prepared by Marideen Visscher, Danforth scholar, Margaret Snodgrass, Fine Arts sophomore, and Betty Jeanne Whitney, Pharmacy junior. A solo, "Arise, O Lord" by Wayne Funk, ASTP, preceded Dr. Sherwood's talk.
The following groups were represented; YWCA, YMCA, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and the Ninth Street Baptist, Baptist, Christian Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian, Catholic, and Lutheran churches.
Game at Washburn Tonight Opens Jayhawker 1944-45 Court Season With All New Men in Starting Lineup
Band Fems Don't Mind Uniforms
Don't tell us women are being conscripted. No, those are just K.U. women in the uniform of the University band.
Owing to the man shortage, there are approximately 35 women in the band this year. They battle the elements and trudge across the hill at the early hour of 7:30 a.m. to appear for marching practice. They freeze nibly at the football games for the sake of schol spirit.
All the girl members of the band are wearing the regulation men's uniform. Naturally, the alterations that have to be made add up to the millions of inches; all the alternations are temporary in order to "make room" for the next person. So far, no one boy or girl has been turned down because there was not a uniform of the right size.
Now we come to the all improptant question of the women's attitude toward the uniforms. It seems that they have reacted well and really enjoy wearing the crimson and blue. This favorable attitude may be due to three or four reasons. First, and most obvious, is the fact that most girls are crazy about uniforms. Second, is the fact that the uniforms are so bright they attract attention, and that always did please the women (especially now when the ratio of men to women is dwindling so fast). The last reason is that the slacks help break the wind at those twenty below games. (P.S. This may be just hearsay but they say 90 per cent of the gals wear long red flan-nels, too!)
CVC Opens Drive For Sixth War Loan
Today will begin the University War Bond Drive in co-operation with the Sixth War Loan.
Members of the Co-ed Volunteer Corps are in charge of booths in Fraser hall and Frank Strong hall in which war bonds and stamps may be bought throughout the week from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Beverly Jane Waters has announced that the War Bond dance, which will bring the drive to a close Friday night, will be held in the Military Science building instead of Hoch auditorium as previously announced. The dance will be from 9:15 p.m. until 12 p.m.
Candidates for queen, who will be elected at the dance on the basis of the total number of votes cast then, will be announced in the Kansan tomorrow. Each ten cent war stamp bought at the dance will entitle the purchaser to one vote for the queen. Higher denominations in bonds purchased will entitle the buyer to more votes.
Admittance to the dance will be a 25 cent war stamp.
The 1944-45 season of the Kansas Jayhawk basketball five will open at 8 this evening when the Crimson and Blue tangle with the Washgurn Ichabods in W.M.U.'s Whiting field house in Topeka.
Ten men who have never before lettered at either school will be in there when the whistle blows tonight, giving the court a juvenile-like look. Washburn coach Dee Errickson considers his prizer start to be Gib Stramel, six-foot two-inch from Hays high school. Other Blue fixtures will be Bob Ulrich, Wichita East, at one guard and Lloyd Krone, Chanute, at the other. Forwards are Bob Evans of Ruseill and Jack Dillard, Dodge City.
Lettermen Will Not Start
...Cheerleaders to Go to Game
Jayhawk coach "Phog" Allen will not start any of his four holdover letterman this evening, Charlie Moffett not starting on account of injuries received in the K.U.-M.U. game on Thanksgiving day. Getting the startling call are Owen Peck and Norman Carlson at Forwards; Jim Brilley at Center; Everett Hill, Lawrence high school star last winner, and Kirk Scott, player last year who was hampered by injuries. Scott is a fomer Newton high school flash. Allen will take virtually the entire squad to Topeka for the game, and intends to give most of the squad a chance to prove themselves under fire.
The lineups:
The Kansas cheerleaders and a few of the Jay James will also make the trip, and will attend a mixer at the Chocolate Shop for alumni and friends immediately following the game.
