The War On MonyFronts
Ny UNITED PRESS

Hard.pressed German troops sought refuge today in a new hill line in Italy, giving way before a five to seven-mile Allied advance, while in Russia the Nazis threw everything they had into an at- tempt to stop a plunging Russian offensive.
 The enemy retreat in Italy was orderly but steady. Killing and burning as they retired, the Ger mans spread big mine fields and threw out counter-attackS and strong gun barrages to impede the marching American and British forces.
 But five more important towns fell to the Allies, including Pig nataro, overlooking the main road to Rome beyond Capua. Effect of the Allied action was to shorten the line while reserves poured in strength across the Volturno river to back up the offensive.
 The Germans were expected to hold up at line in the heights above the Voltuno plain running from Mondragone, five miles above the mouth of the Volturno, to Vene- fro, 27 miles to the northeast along the rivers twisting upper section.
 Stiff fighting was in progress in spots along the trans-Italan line, especially in the British Eighth Army sectors of Eastern Italy where the Germans were yielding reluc- tantly.
 But ahead of the troops Allied planes strafed enemy communica- tions and in the Adriatic two raid- ing British destroyers made a sweep that netted two Italian steamers bearing German armed guards.
 Berlin Admits
 Berlin acknowledged the strongest break through by great Russian forces in the battle raging in the big bend of the Dnieper river be- yond Kremenchug and said "all available" German reserves and equipment had been thrown into the struggle.
 The Berlin radio broadcast be- trayed frank concern over the situ- ation on the Soviet front, where the Russians were pouring through a gap torn in the Dnieper line and already had streaked 50 miles past the river, bidding to cut off consid- erable enemy forces in the southern Ukraine and the Crimea.
 Red Army columns had pounded to within six miles of the northern outskirts of Kiev but at this and the three other key points on the long Russian line - Dnepropetrovsk. Melitipol and Gomel - the enemy still fought bitterly.
 The charge into the southern Ukraine probably will make the posi-
