Knapp Tb German Alroclties: The American people have been shock ed this week by the receipt in trus country of photographs and word pictures from correspondents portraying Uie ghastly conditions which Allied soldiers had discovered in German concentration camps. No longer could such accounts from Russian sources, describing similar scenes in Poland and elsewhere, be discounted as Russian propaganda and dismissed as such. The American people cannot so dismiss the accounts of conditions beyond description which Gen. Eisenhower has substantiated by requesting that Congressional delegation, including prominent newspaper editors, come and see for themselves and then report to the nation. The conditions described could not have been created by a civilized people. It would seem that Nazi party leaders have outdone the beasts of the jungle in their treatment of the slave laborers which they had conscripted from the occupied countries and from the ranks of their political opponents in Germany. The whole German nation seems to have descended into a state of barbarism. In the determination of the treatment to be accorded a defeated Germany that must be taken into account. The contrast between the smartly dressed Nazi leaders such as von Papen and army officers who have been captured, and their victims defies civilized understanding. The European Battlefield: The Canadian First Army has trapped perhaps 100,000 German troops in the northern Nether lands. The British Second Army has been driving hard against German troops that have fallen back toward the Baltic coast for ' Uie defense of Bremen, Kiel and Hamburg near the mouth of the Elbe river. The American Ninth, First, and Fifteenth Annies appear to be linked up along the west bank of the Elbe apposite Berlin, with the Ninth possessing at least one bridgehead across the Elbe. At that point it Is now expected that the Ninth will make contact with the Russians driving west from the Oder. Such a Juncture may take place sometime Monday or Tuesday.
