War Situation Last Night

By I-lamilton W. Faroii. Associated Press War Analyst Spectacular landings of Allied forces on the shores of Sicily are the "begmhing of the end" of Axis power but it with bitter battling and heavy cas- ualties before the end itself is Victoriously attained.

Originally Canadian, British and United States forces moved on to the Island with comparatively minor opposition. But Sicily isn't another Parliclleria or Lampcdusa. Its size is such that coastal defences neces- sarily were light to ring the entire Island, and it can be assumed that Aillcrl intelligence reports pointed the first landings at the most vul11er- able point in llgllt lilies.

initial thrusts it has been learned in other invasion moves always throw the defending forccs back. But that can be ex cted to list only for a day or two. Then comes the test when thc lnva ing force attempts to move forward to complete occupation. On Sicily it cannot be assum- ctl that the Axis armies will lie down.

1 Counter-Attack

LONDON. July 12 —(Monday)— (CP Cable)_ Military analysts in London today frankly voiced sur- prise at the comparative ease with which the initial stage of the Allied landings ill Sicily had been comp. leted and cautioned against the be- lief that the next step would be as easy.

Some quarters suggested that the absence of a determined counter- nttack after the/Allies gained a foot- hold might indicate that thc Axis had decided to permit the invaders to bcconle deeply committed before unfolding their own counter-moves.

These were expected to come at any moment and military experts Suflllcsted that 1f it did not succeed in cycctlrlg the combined attacking force the Axis might try to confine the Allies to a limited lodgement.

These experts explained that a merely tactical lodgcmcnt could be~ come equivalent to r1 strategic "1n-
