At Mareth Line

Farther north, the American
Fifth Army consolidated their new
ly-won positions east OF MaknasSy
and within 80 miles OF the coast
road which Is Rommels only land
route OF retreat from the Mareth
line.
However, a German tank attack,
accompanied by a heavy artillery
barrage, forced American troops to
the southwest TO fall back up the
slope OF Djebel Berda, near Fl 0uet-
tar, late Thursday,
G. r. Cunningham, United Press
war correspondent on the FL 0uet-
tar front, said the Americans now
were holding positions on the top
of the northeastern tip OF Djebcl
Berda and atop Djcbel Ank, de
rectly east and across FL Guettar
Pass from Diebel Berda.
Cunningham said German infan-
try iniiltrated the American OUT
posts on Djebel Ank following an
artillery barrage, but indicated
there had been no withdrawal.
The Eighth Army's assault on the
Mareth line and It's squirt around
Rommel's flank we're spurred by
Montgomery'S pledge, given in a
message to his troops just before
the start Of their offensive, that:
"In the battle that Is now TO
start, the Eighth Army will de-
stroy the enemy now facing us in
the Mareth position, will burst
through the Gabes Gap, and will
then drive northward on Sfax and
Sousse and finally Tunis.
I'VE will not stop or let up till
Tunis has been captured and the
enemy either given up the struggle
or been pushed into the sea.
"If each one Of US does his duty
and pulls his full weight, then
nothing can stop the Eighth Army
and nothing will stop It. With
faith In God and in the justice
OF our cause, let us go forward to
victory.
Forward to Tunis. Drive the en-
envy into the sea-"
