BRITISH ARMY
CROSSES ARNO
Americans Drawing Near
Livorno Now Within
4 Miles OF Goal

ROME, July 17.-P)-Al-
lied forces bored steadily into
German defenses across Italy
today, British Eighth Army
troops bursting across the
Arno river northwest of the
captured provincial capital of
Arezzo at the center Of the
front and American troops
driving within four miles of
the heart of Livorno on the
west coast.
The swift advance of Eighth ar
my tanks and infantry beyond
Arezzo, which they stormed early
yesterday, so surprised the enemy
that they were unable to destroy a
bridge across the Arno. Engineers
who had been assigned to blow up
the span were seized by the speed
ing Allies.
The point where the crossing was
effected is approximately 80 miles
southeast of Florence and perhaps
20 miles south of the enemy's 60
thic line" defenses running from
Florence to Rimini on the Adria-
tic sea. Haru fighting was report
cd raging tonight around the
bridgehead, just south of the vii
lage of Castiglion Fibocchi.
An official Allied announcement
tonight said that ga German re-
sistance is expected along the line
Of the Arno to the sea and thus
&urthe~ progress through the 111ou1-
tains between Arezzo and Flor
ence may be expected to be hard
fought land difficult"
Yank troops driving directly up
the west coast reached the edge
Of Montenero, four miles from the
heart Of Livorno, and drove the
enemy from Mt. Maggiore, four
and a half miles southeast of the
harbor. Eighteen miles inland an
other American column slashed
through the heavily-defended town
OF Capannoli in the Era valley
after repulsing a violent counter
attack by German tanks. This
Yank force was but five and a
half miles from the Arno river at
a point northeast of Livorno.
AS Livorno's port facilities would
be useless to the Allies as long as
they are under the fire of Nazi
guns, it was thought possible that
1t. Gen. Mark w. Clark would
delay giving the order to storm
the city until all high ground
around the port had been clear
ed of the enemy.
French colonial troops were
locked in bitter fighting for the
road junction of Poggibonsi, q
miles southwest of Florence,
which they captured last Friday.
Civitella, eight miles southwest
of Arezzo, was occupied along
with the nearby villages of Badia
