Wave Of Sabotage
Said 10 Have Made
Invasion Easier
BY the Associated Press


MADRID, Sept. 3.-A fortnight of
sabotage by underground forces,
aimed at communication lines, sup
ply dumps, repair shops and air
fields. has helped pave the way for
Allied invasion of continental Italy,
according to reports reaching here.
To the accuracy of the Allied
bombings has been added persistent
wrecking behind the lines by Ital-
ians willing to risk the firing squad
In order to make the invasion of
Italy easier and bring an earlier end
of the war.
Saboteurs have been active partic-
ularly against railroads and rolling
stock, according to reports reaching
Italians here and received through
neutrals. AS result, locomotives
are scarce in Southern Italy, al
though they have been guarded day
and night by German soldiers.
Germans found that locomotives
left under the guard of Italian SOL
diers frequently were sabotaged, it
was said.
Representatives of the Yugoslav
government in Madrid said Gen
Draja Mihailovic and his partisans
remain in radio communication with
the Allies land will strike only when
their action is co-ordinated with AL

These guerrillas already may be
feeling the effect of the Allied in

pass OF Ihermopylae, and thrown
the Allies out of their last foothold
in Europe. This campaign was con-
cluded April 30.
Previously, in the Norwegian in
vasion begun April 9, 1910, the Ger
mans had laid secure hold in Scan
dinavia, isolating Sweden.
All Europe was theirs and they
set about organizing the new
order"
Now the Allies have come back
threatening to overrun them with
overwhelming forces.
The story of the comeback will
be written large in world history.
The chronicle begins with the
battle of Britain in August and Sep
tember of 1910 and on through that
winter. 1t continues with the rash
decision of Hitler to hurl his forces
on Russia in expectation of quick
80 or 90-day victory that would
fortify him with industrial and agri-
cultural resources for a long war
with Britain and the United States
who already had pledged lease
lend arsenal to his defeat.
To the side of the working al
lance thus fortuituously created be-
tween Britain and Russia came the
United States with the japanese at
tack on Pearl Harbor on December
7, 194l.
May Be Ahead of Schedule.
The invasion which was launched
today may have come several
months ahead of the date the Allied
command had scheduled.
AS the months of 1943 wore on
with the British and Americans still
fighting in North Africa and then
with the Canadians in Sicily, it ap-
peared that United Nations strate-
gists were not yet ready to risk an
all-out assault on the fortifica tions
with which Hitler had studded the
coasts of Europe
The strategy, it seemed, was to
soften up Hitler's industrial and
transport machinery with devastat-
ing air attack, and hit him with in
vasion at his weaker spots.
The collapse of the Fascist regime
OF Mussolini on July 25, only Is
days after the invasion of Sicily
and less than a week after one
bombing of Rome on July 10, re-
vealed unexpected depth in the
cracks OF the Axis, however.
1t was then recalled that Prime
Minister Churchill in an Armistice
Day statement in 1912 warned that
preparations for attack on German,

Allies Starting From Scratch,
Must Win Battlefield in ItoIy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AT last the Western Allies are
fighting again on the continent of
Europe.
Two years and four months after
the British eXpeditionary force was
driven from Greece, four years to
the day after Britain's entry into
the war, a British Army again is
locked in combat with Hitlers
legions on the continent.
The spearhead of the invasion for
which the world has waited SO long
Is that battle tested British 9Th
Army which turned back the Nazi
surge at Ell Alamein. Canadians
are fighting alongside Gen. B. l.
Montgomery'S British veterans.
The announcement of the big push
made no mention of the 8th's COM
panion army, the American 7th
Army, now ranked its equal in skill
and fighting qualities. This raises
the possibility that the landing in
Southern Italy may be only the
!, first of series of thrusts at the
-bastions of Hitler's fortress Eu-
rope, to come soon in rapid sue
cession.
New Phase of War Opening.
The offensive opens a new phase

These general background facts

While his lines are bending in the

now make major dispositions to meet
the new onslaught from the south
and the threat of others from the
west.
The scope of the new campaign
remains to be revealed, but it is
certain that its development will in
volve amphibious operations that
will dwarf the previous landings in
North Africa and Sicily.

Sen. Murray's Plea For Country Press

the federal governments atten-

that the country press of the ma

WARTIME CAUTION

There is growing shortage
Of man power throughout the
United States not helped by the
toll of injuries and deaths result
ing from high traffic accidents
last year. The war effort suffers
greatly as a result of the %. 200
deaths and the 100000 injur-
les piled up by traffic accidents
here at here at home; more than
ten times the losses of our armies
fighting over seas. and the re-
cord this year is not much better.
Yes. traffic is down. Here in
Montana, it is down 43 per cent
below the peak of 194l; yet the
accidents continue. 72 persons
have been killed this year here
in Montana. IL of them in Octo-
Der. The causes are the same;
three of that IL had been drink
ing too much, others were driv-
ing too fast to make a curve
ahead of them: an old lady was
struck down by a group of young
sters bent on a good time; ano-
Their was riding on the outside of
a car and fell off. Two cars,
both in the middle of the high
way. struck head-on at the top
of hill. and so the story goes.
Carelessness, foolishness and a
little recklessness accounts for
practically all of our highway
fatalities.
The Highway Patrol has been
doing its best to educate the driv-
ing public against these dangers.
1t has made 1888 arrests and is
sued 17,768 warnings since the
first of last January. But the
Patrol is short handed. over
one-half of its pre-war force is
now in the armed services, and
the remainder cannot be every
where. so it is up to the driving
public themselves.
The only way that this orgy of
death, injury and destruction of
property can ever be stopped, or
even slowed to any degree, is
through public consciousness of
the danger of bad driving prac-
tees.
This is an appeal to you who
drive. not only for the sake of
your own lives, but for the sake
of others; for the sake of the war
effort and our RAPIDLY dwindling
automotive equipment to use our
heads. Don't take chances; read
the safety rules on the back of
your drivers license. and prac-
tice them. Keep your mind on

BATTLE CRY"

Hollywood, Calif.-With Mission to Moscow" smashing all records at the Hollywood theater in New York, Jack L. Warner, executive producer, today speeded plans for Battle Cry,' another Warner Bros. film which will shatter Hollywood prece- dents.
 Like Mission to Moscow" the forthcoming film will deal trench antly with the issues of the cur rent global war. Battle Cry" too, promises to present a new screen form which will be as great a de- parture from standardized presen- tations as is the film version of the book by former Ambassador Joseph E. Davies. There will be no story continuity, the picture being con- prised of a series of episodes uncon- nected except by the common cen tral theme, which is the causes that impell individuals in all of the United Nations to fight for free dom.
 Present plans call for Battle Cry" to run no less than Is reels, which would be two reels longer than Gone With the Wind"
 Battle Cry" will be a Howard Hawks production, with Hawks di- recting and Charks K. Feldman as his associate.
