ROME, Sept. 4.-British and
Canadian troops of the 9th
Army. streaming through 4 40
mile gap In the Germans yaunt-
ed Gothic Line, have advanced
a distance Of IL miles at some
points and have planted their
artillery well within range of the
Adriatic city of Rimini, Allied
headquarters announced today.
On the western end of the front,
meanwhile, the bulletin said. the
5th Army has cleared the last of
the enemy from high ground over
looking the important lateral road
between Pisa and Florence.
The gap torn in the eastern end
of the Gothic line extended inland
from the port of Pesaro on which
Polish forces frightened their grip
by roofing out the last stubborn
pockets of resistance and executing
an encircling drive to the coast al
most II miles to the north. Grad
ara. 10 miles above Pesaro, was
caught in the sweep.
Poles Infiict Heavy Casualties.
The Poles inflicted serious casual
ties upon the Nazis, capturing large
numbers Of paratroopers, including
a battalion commander and other
officers.
AS the Poles swerved in toward
the coast, Canadian forces launched
a powerful two-pronged drive which
enveloped Piece, two miles south
Of Gradara, drove on to Coastal
Route Is, establishing a strong
bridgehead over the Conca River
about three miles from its mouth.
Another Canadian column driving
to the northwest captured San
Giovanni near the Ventena River
and after fierce f1ghting-during
which tanks were used freely by
both sides-captured the important
points Of Meleto, Saludecio and
Gridolfo.
The Canadians said the Ventenca
was likely to prove a more serious
obstacle than the Conca. All bridges
across 1t have been destroyed.
Through the gashed Gothic Line
the Allies emerged into the Emilian
and Lombard Plains, ideal for tank
wargare, and were in a position to
cut swiftly all German communica-
tions to the Reich and Balkans and
to outfiank the rest of the Gothic
Line-a chain of mile-high noun
tain positions across the narrowest
part of North Italy.
West Of Florence, American divi-
sions of the 5th Army made new
tains along the entire front, bat
Ting through thunderstorms for ad-
vances up to Z miles north of Pisa,
where the famous Leaning Tower
was declared undamaged. Among
towns toppled were Spicchio, La
Porecchio, Stabbia and Psanate.
The Americans were more than 8
miles north of Empoli and more
than halfway to the important road

QUARTERS, Sept. 4.-British
forces have liberated Brussels,
capital of Belgium, and two COL
umns have advanced Is miles to
the north, reaching Mechlin and
Boom, less than 10 miles from
Antwerp and Is miles from the
Holland border, Allied headquar-
ters announced today.
French frontier reports said
Allied troops already had entered
Antwerp.
Two American spearheads were
reported also to have entered the
Reich itself at points 100 miles
apart. There was no official con-
flrmation for this account, nor of
the advices telling of an entry into
Antwerp.
II the Allies have reached Ant
werp, the advance would cut the
last escape route of Germans re-
naming in Western France and Bel
gium.
Alost Captured.
A British column driving up the
Schelde River passed Oudenard and
captured Alost, almost midway be-
tween Brussels and Gent.
Antwerp Is only 10 miles from
the Dutch border and on the last
remaining rail routes out of a giant
coastal pocket which included

the Channel coast was by land.
Brussels, which with it's suburbs
had a population of $4,000, was
the fourth European capital cleared
of the Germans. The first was
