Only the military has been left to prepare defence positions on the outskirts of Rome as the Allies consolidate their bridgehead a- round Nottuno, these reports con- tinued.

It was added that all telephone service between Rome and the north has been closed to civilians and Italian officials by the German military commander of the area and only the brlefest diplomatic dispatches are permitted to be sent from Rome by neutrals.

It is evident here that German concern over the possibility that an invasion of France will come in a double-header attack from both the Atlantic and the Medi- terranean ie no longer a secret bu: is shown by elaborate defence pre- parations along the Coast. from the Pyrenees to Marselllo
