GOthic.Line Defense
Probed By 5th Army

ROME, Sept. 12-LR-U. S. Fifth
army patrols have pushed into
several outposts of the Gothic line

moderate opposition, raising a
question as to whether the
Germans plan a death stand in its

But on the Adriatic sector of the
Italian battle front, the British
Eighth army still was stalled south
of Rimini by fierce enemy resis-
lance.
Allied headquarters announc-

reached Barberino in the northern
Apennines Is miles north of
Florence, and Scarperia, five miles
east of barberino. These advanc-
ed elements encountered only per-
functory rearguard actions as they
pushed into the mountains.
It still is too early to estimate
the full significance of the German
withdrawal in front of the Fifth
army, but Field Marshal Gen. AL
bert Kesserling is confronted with
two possible courses Of action.
In one he can stake his entire
remaining armies in defense of the
Gothic line, which stretches
125 miles across the peninsula and
is based on the towering Apennlnes
towering to 5000 feet with easily
defended passes, gambling on the
hope of getting enough food and
ammunition to his troops along
supply lines already virtually de-
stroyed by Allied planes.
The alternative is to sacri-
