Great numbers Of Mitchells hurl-
ed their bombs on German concen.
trations in the Lake Albano area
and blew up several ammunition
trains and dumps. Frascati and Ma
rino, north Of Lake Albano, also
were hit heavily.
On the coastai flank of the Fifth
Army, British forces pushed north
from Ardea against strong enemy
machine-gun and artillery fire. An
American destroyer supported the
advance with a bombardment from
the sea.
The Eighth Army continued It's
steady progress at the southeastern
end of the front against diminish
ing enemy resistance. In capturing
Frosinone, Key stronghold in the
area, the Eighth Army overran Ripi
and Torrice, four and two and one
half miles east respectively of Frost
none.
Advance
New Zealand forces advancing up
a mountain road toward AveZzano
captured Sora, "a miles to the south,
in a f1ve-mile advance In "a hours
from Alpine.
French elements of the Fifth
Army pressing against the enemy
flank in the mountains south Of the
Via Casilina captured Carpineto,
nine miles east Of Corr, and Mts.
Patricia, Pilocco and Piscarella. AL
though the Germans were pulling
out rapidly toward Valmontone, the
French managed to maintain con-
tact with them.
Roper reported that the Ameri-
cans thrusting across the Valmon-
tone Velletri road on the main
front below Rome encountered no
artillery and few mortars. However,
sniper fire forced the infantry to
crawl Indian fashion through vine
yards and forests, firing from be-
hind trees, stones and logs as they
advanced.
While the rolling Alban hills gave
the Germans excellent cover, Amer
lean casualties were light because
of the numerically small enemy
rear guard.
Once their new positions had been
consolidated, Roper said, the Ameri-
cans began an advance along the
road from Valmontone toward Vel
letri, while other forces closed in
against strong enemy resistance
along the Appian Way to the south
east.

vance into Fossa Di Campoleone, a
fissure-like valley three miles west
of Lanuvio, and were exerting
strong pressure against the Ger
man line.
American infantrymen also scored
new gains in fgrontal attack on
Lanuvio, but German dugouts, pill
boxes, anti-tank guns and self-pro-
PEELED artillery slowed their progress.
Fierce resistance likewise was re-
ported from Valmontone, Via CAST
lima stronghold 10 miles northeast
of Velletri. The Germans were said
to have massed strong forces there
in an effort to retain control OF the
Via Casilina, which, however, al
ready virtually had been cut by
American shellfire from positions
only q mile away.
General Sir Harold r. L. G. Alex
ander, Allied commander for Italy,
summarized the days battles on the
front below Rome with one sentence
in his daily communique:

Manuel Pinto, one of two Amer
lean citizens Of draft age taken
prisoner from the Portuguese refugee
ship Serpa Pinto Friday night by
a German U-boat off Bermuda
was on his way to return to Water
bury after 12-year absence.
His aunt, Mrs. Luciano Comes,
IA Pemberton street, related last
night that Manuel was born In
Woonsocket, r. l., % years ago, and
shortly afterwards his family
moved to Waterbury.
He attended Merriman grammar
school for several years before his
parents returned to their native
Portugal taking him. two brothers
and sisters with them. A third
broter. Damentino, remained here
with Mrs. Comes, and Is now serving
with the Army in Mississippi.
In Portugal, Manuel lived with
his family in Chaves, province of
Tras-os Monies, in the northern
part of Portugal near the Spanish
border. When not attending school,
he worked with his father on the
farm, where they produced vege-
tables, fruits, and potatoes.
Several months ago Mrs. Comes
received a postcard from Manuel
stating that he would like to come
back to America to obtain a good
Job and live here. She forwarded
his card and a picture to the State
Department in Washington, D. c..
as part of the procedure to obtain
passage for him

Dos Santos dispatched Chief on

was held as hostage, and the sec.
ond offlcer returned to company
with a submarine offlcer and q sailor,
who waved machine gun recklessly.
The officer, speaking flawless Eng
lish, said that unless Camilo Grande
Perez, "A, native Of Canada and
a British subject, was surrendered
inside Of five minutes, the Serpa
Pinto would be sunk. Perez dis
appeared to his cabin, but later
was found and was taken to the
submarine. Dos Santos said the
Germans did not explain why they
wanted Perez, who later was released
also without explanation.
The two Americans, Virgilio Ma
gina, 70, Of Bedford, Mass, and
Manuel Pinto Of Waterbury, Conn,
returning to the United States to
register for selective service, then
were takers aboard the U-boat.
Pinto then returned to the vessel
to relay the report that the Serpa
Pinto was to be torpedoed within
20 minutes and the captain gave the
order to abandon ship.
In the unloading Of the passengers
and crew and hosting them back
aboard later, the ships doctor and
cook were killed. The third cas-

There seemed to be no question
among international lawyers in

The right of belligerent nation

tire IL months of the year, par
ticularly in these times when the
budget is continually being operated
at a profit"
According to the report, budget
airy operations in 1913 resulted In
surplus of 1918 $40 of which 1923, =
088 was used to finance the 1874
budget. Large unexpended bal
ances plus larger tax returns COM
bined to produce this surplus. it is
pointed out in the report. Is is be-
lieved that at least $300000 of this
$445,258 reserve surplus now avail
able will be authorized for place
ment in the city's capital and non
recurring reserve account for post
war projects which account al
ready has 100000 on deposit.
Mr.. Maloney also points out in
the report that policy of manage
ment of the water fund was also
prescribed in 1913" which should re-
suit in the creation of Sufficient
reserves by 1858 that will allow the
extraordinary debt recurring In that
year and four successive zones to
be met without seriously dislocating
the general fund"
1t was also recommended in the
report that the board of finance,
in the future. award the auditing
contract for the current year suf-
ficierftly early to make possible a
report by the auditing firm within
a reasonable period after the close
of the fiscal year.
