was announced on Saturday. The national objective is for $l,0il0,000 and it is understood that this province's portion of this drive has been set at $10000.

This cause ls a most worthy one. For the past five years they have been carrying war against the Japanese and are now lined up

It is purely a voluntary effort on the part of the province's population and knowing the manner in which past drives have "gone over the top" the committee are quite con- Hlent that equal success will ut- ielld this one.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, NORTH AFRICA, Aug. l5—(AP)—British 8th Army forces have blocked the es- cape of retreating Germans in the central Sicily area by capturing two road junctions, and United States troops are only 27 1-2 miles from Messino, Allied headquarters an- nounced today.

The Americans have advanced l4 miles to take Oliverl in their dash toward the evacuation port. of Messiah.

The 'l‘aormina road junctions at Piedimonie and Fiunie- freddo on the east coast were seized by the 8th army. Al- lied drives speared dangerously deeper on the central front itself. The British coastal units were within 35 miles of Messina, having taken Riposio earlier.

A dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent No- land Norgaard with the 8th army declared German rear- guards have broken off contact at all points on the east coast and were withdrawing rapidly toward Messina.

Norgaard also re mad that i'*_—' Americans thrusting orward from. Randazzo had cut the north-southl inland road. but too late to tfiipl Germans fleeing on that route. This‘ dispatch apparently went beyond

June and July.

At the same time. the American and British leaders declared in n joint statement, which indicated the two may have already met for their current war talks, that the Nazis still have large reserve for- ces of undersea raiders and that the Allies can expect continued success in the all-important battle of supply lines to Europe only if illemost effective measures poss- ible are continued in force and even improved in results.

The statement sold that the fig- ures were prepared after consult- atloll with lilo British Admiralty. the United States Navy depurl- ment and the (Jourdan deeper‘.- ment of national defence for nav- al services.

The statistics and tone of the statement seemed to make it clear tat the one weapon on which lilt-

lor had counted to keep his fort ress of Europe lmprcglluble had failed completely at the strategic time, due to the overwhelming suc- cess of Allied counter-measures.

Out of 2.500 vessels involved in tho operations against Sicily and lll moving large numbers of relil- forccments following up the initial invasion. the report noted, only 80.000 tons had been lost.

Moreover. it was disclosed that new ships completed by the Allies in 1943 “exceed all sillklngs from all causes by upwards of 3.000.000 tons."

Principal weapons employed in crushing the undersea menace are escort aircraft carriers which take their alr umbrella right along with the convoys. long-rang: land based patrol bombers wllichdrove for hundreds of miles out over both the north and south Atlantic looking for submarines, and dew stroyer escorts which are modified destroyer types armed prlnci ally with depth charges and ant -sii-- craft weapons.
