Rome Silent
On Churchill
New Demand
Allies Will Wage
War Of Destruction,
Commons Told
BY JOSEPH w. GRIGG

LONDON, July 81 (UP)-
Prime Minister Churchill warned
Italy today that she will be in
vaded and scared, Scared and
blackened from one end to the
other" unless she surrenders I'M
conditionally Immediately.
The Allies have received no
peace approaches from the new
Italian government, he told COM
mons in a fiery speech. and there
fore no decisions are called for by
the Allied governments except to
bring "the maximum avalanche Of
fire and steel on all targets of
military significance throughout
the length and breadth of the
land"
From the north and the
south, from the land and from
the air, and by amphibious de-
scents, we shall endeavor to put
the utmost rigors of war in
creasingly upon them," he said.
Orders to this effect have been
given all Allied commanders
concerned"
LETTING THEM STEW
Churchill acknowledged that il
might take the new Italian gov
eminent under Marshal Pietro
Badoglio some time to make up
its mind on withdrawing from the
war, and said it would be the
Allies task in the meantime to
let the Italians stew in their own
juice for a bit and hot up the fire
TO the utmost in order TO &C
celerate the process"
He limited strongly that further
developments might come at any
time with chances good that he
might be. able TO make a further
illuminating statement next week.
Britain ara this ytniied - stss,
will make no attempt r0SekeIf' in
fiuence on the Italian government
except through the pressure Of
relentless war" he said.
SEES TRANSITION
Churchill did not express an
opinion on the character of the
government, but said:
at Is obvious that the Italian
people have a very important
decision to make. i must utter
a word of caution. We do not
know what Is going to happen In
Italy and, now that Mussolini
has gone and the Fascist power
has certainly been irretrievably
broken, we would be foolish TO
deprive ourselves of any means
Of coming to general conclusions
with the Italian nation"
Churchill said that il might

OF Sicily
UptONazis
BY PIERRE j. HUSS

ALLIED HQ., N. Africa, July 81
(INS)-Mussolini's detection from
the Axis partnership bore first
fruit on the Sicilian battlefield
today when German troops were
thrown into the entire MesSina
bfidgehead TO compensate for in
creasingly widespread Italian sur
renders.
With further progress recorded
by Canadian forces slamming at
the west flank of the Nazi defense
line before Catania, the Axis de-
Tense wall took on a 100 per cent
German tinge, and many counter
attacks were launched and re-
PEELED in various sectors.
AS during the height Of the
Tunisian fighting. the Nazis
again attempted to rush rein
forcements in to the front lines
by air.
Allied fighters shot down II

son. They are the only team hav-
ing a clean slate in the three city
leagues.
Clare Schroeder and Bob
Manning changed positions for
this encounter, with Manning
taking over first and Schroeder
doing the hurting. Although
nicked for nine safeties, Clare,
after a Shaky second and third
frame, pitched scoreless ball
while his teammates were piling
up runs for him. Wildness con-
trlLLted largely to the ST. Louis
scoring, with Schroeder handing
olt IL walks.
Manning, as usual, led the
BoWl-O-Dromc batters i'm extra
base hitting, getting double
and home run for himself. Nigh
ion and Martcll, however, had
the best averages each three sin
giles in four times at bat. Korte
had three out of four to pace the
st. Louis club.
On Friday St Louis lost to the
Optimist Club by score of 80

football game had been played,
but actually the Optimist team
ran wild around the bases and
kept the scorckceper dizzy try
ing TO keep up with them.
After an uneventful start the
OrtlmiSts really went TO town in
the fourth, batting around twice,
and marking up IA runs. Again
in the seventh they were bitten
by the run bug and 10 more tall
lies were recorded.
The ST. Louis outfit were at
the mercy of Ed Sheldon who
nearly had another no hit game
for himself Except for a couple
of pop flies which fell for singles
in the first inning, the only st.
Louis players to reach base got
there by walk or error They
threatened to score only in the
last of the seventh, when a walk
and an error put men on third
and second with one out. The
next batter hit TO third and the
runner on third was thrown out
at the plate. The game ended as
the following player went out

The Optimist Club garnered
