War Situation Last Night

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

American heavy bombers have just reminded M that every part of his dwindling Italian realm now is within range of the big four-

‘ ’ messenge of destruction for which the Axis has no match. While flying I-‘ortresses flew Monday from one African base to scourge the airfield at Grosetto, B0 miles northwest of Rome, Liberators sprang from another to smash at Bari, on the Adriatic. The Allies now have bases within 800 miles of Italy's most distant frontier, that in the north- east north of Trieste, and no part of the I euinsula lies beyond reach of the big bombers.

When Mussolini had decided that the fruitful time had come‘ for him to enter the war, confident that he would share bountifuliy in a part- itioning of the French Empire and perhaps the British, too, he had every reason for confidence, it appeared, that the cities of Italy never would know the horrors of total war.

The plight of his country today, shuddering under the blows oi air concentrations which daily grow in terrifying power, shows how grievous-i, the builder of the modern Roman Empire misread the world situation, The once friendly shores of North Africa are alive with the bases from which the big bombers fly.

They conic from both sides of the Tunisian battlefield. The Fort-reuse; that hit Grosetto came from the strategic force, operating west of thc front. The Liberator: over Bari form part of the western desert force which followed Montgome y'n 8th Army in the long pursuit across Libya and today probably operate from fields near Tripoli, so recently the gem city of iliussolinfs African Empire. .
