OUR HATS are off to the won
derful British Eighth Army under
the command of General Bernard
Montgomery and our own hard
hitting Seventh Army under Gen
eral George S. Patton, Jr., for the
rapid conquest they are making of
Sicily. Already they have seized a
score of populated places includ-
ing the big cities of Syracuse, Au-
gusta and Ragusa. and are almost
within shelling distance of Hessi-
ma, the great city near the Italian
mainland. 1t has not been a walk
over. The Italians and their Nazi
pals have been fighting stubborn
ly in some cases desperately, but
the Allies have control of the air
and every time the Axis forces get
enough material and men together
to launch a heavy counter offen-
sive, the British and American
planes come over by the hundreds.
the bombs come tumbling down and
'poof" the Axis equipment and men
are blown sky high, and what is
counterattack and go on the defen-
sive. Dispatches also tell us that
a high ranking Italian General has
been captured. He will be sent to
England to join the hundred
others already planting potatoes
and kneading spaghetti dough on
the tight little isle" Mussolini, the
big, lou Of ruf,td hot oit urbo cra-
ated a balcony empire" is of
course. telling the poor benighted
Italians that the invasion of Sicily
is nothing, that the Italian MAIN
land is invincible. Well. time alone
will tell, but we believe that from
Fessina the Allies will drive right
into Southern Italy and when this
happens, Fascism in Italy will col
lapse, and Herr Hitler will have
another job of explaining to the
Reich "Volk" for "Limpy" Leg
Goebels.

THE MARINES and Army regu-

Japanese air base at Munda. Those
terrible mobile seige guns. which
cracked the Nazis at Mateur, are
pouring thousands of shells into
the Jap positions, and the little
