Rome, Aug. 11. (UP)—
Eighth Army Polish and Kal-
ian troops lunged forward two
miles on a six mile front in the
Adriatic sector today to cap-
ture hills dominating the Ceas-
no Valley and occupy Scapez-
zano, Monterado and Corinal-
do, key rail and highway
towns.
The balance of the Italian
front was comparatively quiet,
with the exception of bitter
fighting in the enemy pocket
south of the Arno river and
east of Florence. But front
dispatches reported heavy ex-
plosions accompanied by great
flashes in —the - Gennar.-held
northern sect/ois bf ihe ancient
Bennaissance city last night,
ed by a heavy rumble as if
The explosions were follow-
from mailing masonry, indi-
cating the Germans were
demolishing buildings in the
hope of blocking roads with
debris against a British Eighth
Army drive across the Arno.
(The German DNB News
agency reported today that “in
order to remove every pretext
from the British for the syste-
matic destruction of an open
town,” the German high com-
mand decided to withdraw
Nazi covering forces on the
northern bank of the Arno to
the northern outskirts of Flor-
ence.)

—And Howl!
We all have loved ones—over there—
of whom—we’re very fond—
So strain yourself—a little more—and buy
another bond—
To make it easy—to do this—and we can
get—both yours and mine—
With what you save—and what I make—
when yon trade at Number Nine.
