big NAVAL BATTLE
is EXPECTED SOON
BY GLADWIN KILL

LONDON, June 10. -(R- After
a number of unsuccessful attempts
to cut gashes in the greatest ma
val battle armada in the worlds
history. German channel forces
were concentra their subma-
rine power today against Allied
oss-channel lifelines, and Ameri-
can officers were expecting a cru
cial struggle in a big German ma
val effort within the next few days.
In the latest of the slim German
navy's Improbable forays into in
vasion waters, a light force of
British coastal vessels sank four
out of seven heavily-armed trawl-
ers in two skirmishes off Holland
early today, with the loss of one
motor torpedoboat and two casual
ties.
While a German destroyer of a
previous engagement lay smould-
ering wreckage on the French
coast, Allied warships kept up their
alright collaboration with the air
force to keep the Germans u
boats under water and ineffective,
and the armies reinforcements and
supplies streamed into the Seine
Bay, greatest sea terminus the
world has even seen established
for purposes of battle" with the
precision and regularity of rail
traffic, a front report said.
The biggest obstacle for the
fleet thus far has been the wealth
er-not Nazi sea units.
Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk,
aboard the flagship Augusta, was
anticipating desperate German
effort to halt the continuous
Strengthening of Gen. Sir. Bernard
L. Montgomery's advancing and
unyielding units, and believed the
struggle would come soon, a cor
respondent aboard the ship report
ed.
The loss of a second American
destroyer in the invasion was dis
closed in dispatch from the
channel naval forces. No details
were given, but these two ships
were said to be the U. S. Nays
only losses up to the fourth day af-
ter the invasion landings.

dafenses IN western Europe.
American, British, French, Po-
llsh and possibly Italian troops were
hurled against the entire Gustav
line. from the Gulf Of Gaeta in the
southwest to the plains below Pes
cara IN the northeast, but the main
push was revealed to be against the
defenses covering the via Casilina
and the Appian way, the two main
roads to Rome, rs air miles behind
the front.
Barrage
The offensive opened with bar
rage Of almost two hours by the
greatest concentration of artillery
ever employed in the Mediterran-
can, dwarfing even the batteries
that cracked Germany's Alamein
line IN Egypt In october, 1912.
FOR the first 40 minutes, the guns
concentrated their shells on German
gun and mortar batteries. Then,
confident that most Of the enemy's
firepower had been knocked out,
they showered troop positions and
rear areas with steel and explosives.
Allied bombers Joined in the bonn
bardment of the enemy, sweeping
over the enemy lines in waves.
Even before the barrage had lift
ed, tens of thousands of infantry
men began advancing across rivers
and plains and through mountains.

had been extended southwest to a
