In southern Italy, and northward up the Italian boot, extensive demolitions carried out by retreating German iozces were the principal barrier to rapid advances by Canadian troops taking part in the Italian mainland. The Germans avoided pitched battles, playing a shadow-boxing game. The Italians just did not. want to fight. German engineers blew up this bridge to hinder advance oi the Allies, but Canadian engineers in the ioreiront oi advancing troops rebuilt it in less than iive hours and the Canadians rolled onward.

By EDWARD KENNEDY (Canadian Press Staii Writer) SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHERN ITALY, Sept. 2i — (Delayed) — (AP) - Italy's conception oi her present status as an ally oi Great Britain and the United States and virtually a member of the United Nations has met with considerable coldness on the part oi British and American soldiers.

Although London and Washing- ton appear inclined to make eon- cessions in this respect to the govermwnt of Marshal Badoglio as an eiiective way of fighting the Germans, most soldiers are outspoken in asserting they do not want the Italians as their "allies."

OUTSPOKEN ARTICLE

This view was expressed in s remarkably outspoken article in the British 8th Army-News, oi- iicial newspaper oi that army, the 8th is made up of British and Canadian troops. 0th Army News demanded that the Italians not be treated as s; but be made "to pay the price oi their iolly." The editorial ollowed the pub. lication oi greetings from Premier Bsdoglio to the 0th Army. In this essage Bado lio said: commander. o ilcsrs and troops oi the 0th army I send greetings. In the common struggh which awaits us, Italian soldiers will march aide by side with British comrades avalnst the German oppressor for the liberation oi Italian soil and for iinal victory.”

'I‘he 0th Army News, replying to this. said that the men oi this army were entitled to express their own views on this subject.

“Italy surrendered uncondi- tionally, Badogllo tells us why Italy Bflve

MOSCOW, Sept. 26—(AP)-Smashing on af- ter the spectacular capture of Smolensk, the Red army northwest of that former Nazi stronghold fought on a line barely more than 100 miles from the Polish border today and Pravda, the Com- munist Party organ, declared “the gates to the west are open."
