CONQUEST OF SICILY
is NOW COMPLETE

Continued from Page y
the city from the Italian main
land"
The Germans, nervously blow
ing up installations on the expos
ed toe of Italy in apparent fear of
an extension of allied amphibious
operations, began pouring fire in
to Messina from 15-inch and 9TH
er batteries stationed on the
mainland across the tWo-mile
wide straits not long after Mes
sina fell to the Americans this
morning"
The atmosphere in London, the
oldest and greatest of allied for
ward bases in the European the
atre was heavy yesterday with
speculation that another and more
fateful lunge against the axis was
coming now that the conquest of
Sicily had made the first breach
in the enemy's continental wall.
Only the allied high command
had knowledge Of where the next
blow or blows would be struck,
but a feeling persisted that de-
noument in the war was ap-
preaching.
This was emphasized by Bri-
tain's emptying beaches as the
government began clearing all
non-residents from barricaded
coastal areas and the fury of the
allied round-the-clock assaults.
In Russia, Soviets pushed for
ward on Bryansk, took so villages.
The Germans counterattacked
heavily in Kharkov area.
One hundred seventy japanese
planes were destroyed and 1900
japanese killed in a big allied air
raid on Wewak, New Guinea, the
high command announced yester-
day.
Ten thousand bombs were
dropped on Wewak, which is
about $50 miles northwest of the
Salamaua ground front in New
Guinea, in the heaviest raid yet
staged in the Southwest Pacific
area.
The raiders destroyed the great
est part of the japanese air force
at WeWak.

During the. noon hour, the
crowd ate their picnic lunches in
a shady spot in the meadow, af-
ter which it started to rain, max
ing it impossible for staging the

scheduled. Instead, Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry took the opportunity to
make favorable comments on the
good work that the boys and
girls are doing.
