Armies had killed more than 420, 900
Germans, wounded l,08O,OO0 and
captured $500 in taking back at
least 10000 square miles of occu-
pied territory since July S.
Stalino, city OF about 1000
prewar population, was taken by
the Germans in October, 1941, and
the Russians never had been able
to recapture it until now.
At the hub of a railway system
serving the Donets Basin Stalino
is an excellent base for a possible
thrust southwest to pinch the in
vaders completely out of their foot
hold in the Kuban and In the
Crimea.
The German war bulletin said the
Donets battle was raging with "un-
diminished violence"
The Russians said their armies
were advancing all along the 600-

Italy Entered War
Unprepared 10 Meet
Full responsibilities
By RICHARD G. MAssoCK,

Chief of the former Rome Bureau Of thu
Associated Press.
An italian people, broken in
morale by bombs and defeats or
land, sea and in the air, capitulated
to Allied might today to lop off the
weakest Axis partner, but leave fol-
the moment unanswered:
/ How much Italian soil will the
Nazi forces attempt to hold? What
OF the future of the Balkans?
Italy's capitulation, announced
from North Africa by Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower. probably shortened
the war some, and undoubtedly will
have an enormous psychological
effect on Germany and her satel-
liteS.
Major Victory for Allies.
Italy's surrender means the United
Nations have won major battle
with the fighting that lies ahead
likely to be long and bitter before
the Germans and the Japanese sur
render. ,.
Italy for a long time. especially
since Benito Mussolini's downfall on
July 25, has had little but nuisance
value to her Axis partners. That
nuisance value now is lost.
1t was unprepared for war when
the Nazi attack on Poland brought
it about September l, 1889. After
Italy was thrust into the conflict
on June 10, 1910, when the mirage
of a German victory dazzled Mus
solini, she lasted just 3 years,
months and % days.
During nine months of nonbel-
ligerence. however, Italy already had
been of help to her ally, Germany
The uncertainty of her position
kept French troops in Tunisia and
on the Italian frontier. 1t kept q
sizable British feet in the Med
iterranean and British troops il,
Africa. Some supplies to Germany
trickled through Italy, despite the
British blockade.
Attack on Greece Failed.
When Frances defenses crumbleo
under the German blitz and Musso-
lini hurried Italy into the war there
was little for the italians 10 do on
that front and they did little.
But they helped Germany further
by drawing still heavier British
naval strength into the Mediterra-
mean and more British troops into
Africa.
Italy's attack on Greece was a
failure, but the Germans eventually
conquered the country and smashed
Yugoslayia at the same time, while
the Italians kept the British occu-
pied in North Africa and Ethiopia
Then, because Britain had refused
to fold up with the fall of France
and Prime Minister Churchill con-
centrated on the war In the Med
iterranean, Italy lost her East AZ
rican empire, then Libya, then her
troops were driven. with the Ger
mans, out Of Tunisia, and the wal
was on her own soil, with Sicily the
first casualty.
Italy's downfall was caused by her
own unpreparedness, the reluctance
of her troops to fight for Fascism
and Germany, the British refusal tc
quit and the mighty ornaments that
the United States brought into the
fight. Her lot was hopeless from
the start
MuSSolini had neither the man
power, nor the armaments, nor the
sources of supply that Hitler had ir
Germany. Italy lacked supplies al
home and was too poor to buy
enough abroad
Evening star., 1943-09-08

Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, deputy
commander in chief, had been flown
to the Italian mainland by Air
Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham 48
hours after the 9th Army landing
for q conference with Gen. Mont
gomery. Gen. Alexander and Mar
shal Cunningham, head of the Tacti-
cal Air Force. were escorted by a
Canadian Spitfire squadron.

For Duty in Washington Area
England.
BY Mary MacCracken Jones

Realizing that in many dis

ices, all expert riders and horse
women. captained by Mrs. Frank
j. McSherry, wife. of Brig. Gen.
McSherry, have organized a
mounted corps to put their horse
manship to effective use.
Under the leadership of Mrs.
McSherry, the first. woman to
compete for-and win-the race
for the Dunboyne Challenge
Trophy, and Mrs. Ernest L.
Smith, some 40 women from
the District and nearby Mary
land and Virginia have met,
adopted program of usefulness
in disaster and have already be-
gun their courses of practical
training.
The group has been divided
into two sections. one meeting at
Bradley Farms, the other at the
Meadowbrook Saddle Club, for
instruction and drill.
Among the women who ride
to hounds from Bradley Farms,
now members of the AWVS

Mounted Corps, are Mrs. Charles
Paine, the Misses Frances and
Margaret Cox and Mrs. j.. P.
Binns, who farms on Seven Locks
road.
Many women from outlying
sections who know the country
like the palms of their hands, are
joining the corps, ready to rem
der aid in times of disaster as
we'll as in routine work in which
local authorities may need them.
