(Berlin dispatches to Madrid also seemed to indicate that this fear of further Allied landings elsewhere in Italy or the Balkans plus the powerful air and naval support given the Eighth Army's landing for the apparent unwillingness of the Germans and Italians to strongly contest the Allied bridgehead).

Rome and Berlin saw the invasion with different eyes. A Berlin dispatch to the Gazette de Lausanne quoted circles in the German capital as pointing out that winter and snows in the Brenner Pass would serve as obstacles to military operations in Northern Italy. The belief was reiterated in Rome, however, that the Allies did not intend to fight the full length of Italy, but may be planning to use bases in Southern Italy for an attack on the Balkans." In the industrial North, especially in Milan and Turin, peace demonstrations were reported Friday by the Gazette de Lausanne which added that fold-arm strikes were not yet controlled despite thf Italian press statements of the workers "comprehension" of the nation's situation. man Army Airfield, Seymour, Ind seaman 1C, USN, has returned to duty after a two-week leave spent the limit to back our valiant fighting men. full share if we are to put this drive over Mrs.

The fact that the Allies decided to strike the Southernmost point of the Italian mainland, instead of hitting farther north, provided the chief surprise for Italians concerning the invasion, a Rome dispatch to the Gazette dl Lausanne said. This dispatch, passed by the Italian censor, said that behind the "apathetic attitude" of the Italian population still rest hopes for peace hopes which have been given impetus throughout Italy by words of the pope. Political circles in Rome recently expressed the belief that the Allied armies would strike to the north in the region around Naples or possibly even in Tuscany in an effort to cut-off and encircle Southern Italy. (Berlin dispatches received in Stockholm indicated that the Germans, too, w-ere not certain at the outset, at least, that this first assault would be the major Allied thrust at Italy. The Aftonbladet correspondent said the Germans were delaying throwing their full defensive strength against the British Eighth Army while waiting to determine whether other attacks may develop.
