ROME, Sept. 2.-The American
5th Army lashed out in a new
offensive today, burst across the
Arno on a wide front, seized Pisa
and stormed dominating heights
on the east in concert with a
new drive by the famed British
9th Army through a 2O-mile hole
in the Gothic Line.
AS the whole Italian front famed
into action, the vaunted Gothic
Line-which Marshal Albert Kes-
selring had ordered held for three
more weeks to keep open a route
of escape through the Brenner Pass
crumbling on both the
east and west.
Taking advantage of German pre-
occupation with the smashing Of
fensive of the British, Canadians
and Poles at the Adriatic end of
the line, the Americans first
launched a flanking movement
across the Arno.
Threatened with encirclement, the
Germans hastily evacuated historic
Pisa. famed for its leaning tower.
Marshal Kesselring had ordered
Pisa firmly held and the Nazis there
had rained artillery fire on the at
lacking Americans who had held
the city's southern outskirts on the
south side of the Arno since July %
Yanks Pass Serchio River.
The special announcement of
Pisa's fall said Americans had driven
four miles beyond to the Serchio
River.
The twin offensive landed in the
enemy camp with unexpected vio-
lence, but the Germans reacted
quickly and hurled fresh troops into
the struggle, which threatens to
roll them back to the Po River
their last good natural defense line
in northern Italy.
The door to the Pc is open and
the complete destruction of all Ger
man forces in Italy now becomes
simply a matter of time, q spokes-
man declared at Gen. Sir Harold
Alexander's Allied Headquarters.
While Marshal Kesselring's left
wing crumpled before British blows
along the Adriatic, the 5th Army
hurdled the Arno at many points
along the As miles from Florence
westward to the sea.
Negro troops of the United States
92nd division, making their first ap-
pearance in the battle line, stormed
up the southeast slopes of Monte
Pisano, from whose heights the
enemy has lobbed shells into the
American lines during the long
stalemate on this front.
simultaneously, Americana born

Seek Link With British.
Other forces reached for the high
ground north of Florence to link
up with the British on the east.
This drive was no side show, but
a full-scale offensive co-ordinated
with the 9th and designed to over
run the maze of mine fields, pill
boxes and barbed wire entangle-
ments of the mountains and spill
out into the plains in the valley of
the Po.
There the Americans could veer
west to join their comrades in
Southern France, now 16O miles
west across the Ligurian Sea, but
much farther than that by way of
the tortuous, mountainous route
along the coast.

Most of the Germans had
pulled out hastily last night, and
the resistance the enemy put up
as the Americans drove across
the frontier was scattered
quickly.
Lowlands Flooded.
The Germans were reported clear
ing out OF Belgium, Holland and
Luxembourg after flooding the
northern lowlands in forlorn hope
of stemming the Allied tide-and
Brussels was no more than IS miles
In front of the onrushing British
I'D Army.
Pilots raking the enemy line oil
retreat reported that the German
18th Army was abandoning the ro-
bot bomb row along the Channel
coast all the way to Pas-de-Calais
and beyond as British patrols
popped up in the village of Pernes
SO miles south c. , .nkerque.
Dispatches from 1t. Gen. George
s. Pattons Sd Army driving on the
Siegfried Line to the east of Ver-
dun said American patrols were up
to the Moselle River and a bag OF
1,200 prisoners indicated resistance
was rising.
The Germans declared these forces
had lunged to the area of Thlon-
vile, on the Moselle just IL miles
short of the Reich border and well
into Lorraine. which the enemy con-
siders part OF greater Germany
since its annexation after the fall
of France.
Z Miles From Luxembourg.
The same German broadcast said
one armored column of this force
had reached Longwy. 2 miles south
of the border of Luxembourg.
Thionville Is II miles north OF
Metz, well through the old Magi-
not Line, and within 20 miles of the
outposts of the enemy's Siegfried
Line.
It was considered possible that
olASo0y hAeAA
speared into Luxembourg, and there
was no news from Sedan, where it
was believed advanced elements had
crossed into Belgium on the road to
Prussia.
The British I'd Army was racing
for the Belgian frontier in the hope
of heading off the Germans who
have been launching robot bombs
against Southern England.
They drove Is miles northeast
of Arras to Douai, IA miles from
Belgium and IS miles from Brussels.
Racing through Flanders, they
seized Vimy Ridge, north OF Arras,
where the Canadians won their
great victory in 1917. Patrols reached
Lens. Is miles below the railway city
of Lille and Armentieres, and
Pernes, SO miles south Of Dunkerque
and 40 miles southeast OF Calais.
Driving for Nancy.
On the southeastern end Of the
front, the American Sd Army was
driving for the old Lorraine capital
of Nancy from St. Mihiel, 80 miles
to the northwest, and the Germans
were reported fleeing the city.
1t was along this front OF the
Meuse River from Verdun to St.
Mihiel that the Germans claimed
they were throwing in counter
attacks. Here the Americans were
racing through the old Hindenburg
Line where the Kaiser's armies
made their last futile stand in the
dying days of the World War.
Despite the spots of German re-
sistance, it appeared that the bat

Branch Line Purchase
Would Save Money,
W. & 0. D. Contends

Answering a recommendation of
an Interstate Commerce Commits
sion examiner that the proposed
purchase Of the Bluemont Junction
line Of the Southern Railway by the
washington & Old Dominion Rail-
road was contrary to the public
interest" w. g. o. D. officials held
today that the purchase would re-
suit in Substantial savings" to the
railroad.
w. g. o. D. officials. in the re-
port filed with the ICC, pointed out
the railroad now Is renting the
Bluemont Junction line, running
between Alexandria and PURCELL
vile, Va, at 5000 yearly. How
ever, it was pointed out, when gross
revenues reach $250,00 in any year
the rental is 3 per cent OF such
gross, and when gross revenues ex-
ceed $500, 900 in any year the rental
is 5 per cent. Rentals increase on
a sliding scale with increased reve-
nues, they said.
Under the purchase plan the w.
g. o. D. report said, payments for
the line will be completed in seven
and a half years at an increase in
monthly payments of only $25 above
the minimum rental.
I'VE submit that sound business
and iy1a rpuorS tn economical oy,ar
alton not only justifies, but necessi-
tates, this purchase rather than a
continued leasing of the land" the
reply stated.
The w. & o. D. last January
filed application with the ICC to
purchase for $4,000 the 1914 miles
of track and So miles of spurs and

sidings Of the branch line which
connects with the Rosslyn (Va.)
branch Of the w. g. O. D. line.
w. & o. D. planned to finance the
purchase with $4,000 in promissory
notes bearing an interest of 41a per
cent secured by a deed of trust on
its present property. One OF the
notes would be for 5000, payable
in $500 monthly installments and
the balance would be covered by
two notes payable eight years after
the date of issuance.
At a hearing last February, the
only opposition to the proposed pur-
chase came from Mrs. Nellie O.
who continually has fought
for increased passenger service on
the Rosslyn-to-Leesburg line. In
the report to the ICC. w. g. o. D.
officials officials said that it had re-
ceived no opposition to the plan
and did not expect any until Mrs.
Fletcher was allowed to intervene.

In anticipation OF the approach
ing summer season, the Garden
Club enjoyed a program devoted
10 a study OF the subject of The
Outdoor Living Room" Monday eve
ming at the regular meeting in
Starkweather Hall. Ralph Harris,
chairman OF the program. had pre-
pared a paper on the subject which
was read by Mrs. George Cullis.
Mr.. Harris said that his reason for
presenting such a subject al this
time OF year was, that in order 10
enjoy fully outdoor living. one
should start now TO plan and make
preparations for a comfortable out
door enclosure Of some sort, He re.
peatedly emphasized the fact that
even the smaller back yard or lawn
can be converted into an attractive
and restful living room with little
expense and a bit Of labor on the
part of the individual. Privacy can
he achleYed- by the use OF simple
materials such as a trellis with an
easily grown annual vine. an avn
ing or even a single beach umbrel-
la IL. there is no shade. and few
pieces OF well chosen comfortable

essary part OF such a living room
but again Mr.. Harris brought out
the fact that elaborate and expen-
sive fireplaces are not at all neces-
sary. He described a number OF
simple portable cooking arrange
ments such as charcoal burners
some OF which could be made at
home.
The location OF such an enclosure
should be chosen 10 take advantage
OF any attractive vista but II the
small yard lacks this, a focal point
OF interest should be arranged by
the use OF flower paintings, a bird
bath or small fountain, he said. In
planning the living room Mr.. Harris
said that there can be no set rules.
Each family should be guided by
the individual tastes and interests
OF It's members.
Because OF the wide scope OF the
subject the committee had planned

presenting individual problems
