' When columns of smoke first were observed behind the enemy lines two days ago it was believed the Germans might be burning their own supply dumps. In this, however, the allies underestimat- .d the thoroughness with which the Germans were devastating the country, - for when Fifth army troops reached these areas they found most of the smoke columns were coming from the embers of burned homes, barns and other ci- vilian buildings. - Surviving Italians of the area were found hiding in ditches, ca nals and woods terrified by the ,last days , of occupation by -their -former axis partners. , - - The stubbornness with which the Germans clung on to the Vol turno line and their apparent de termination to make a fresh stand ,on Massico ridge, which is scarce ly 10 miles beyond it, offers little hope of a speedy allied entry into Rome. There may be many weeks more of costly fighting before the eternal city is reached. Meantime, ' blows being struck behind the enemy's lines by the allied air .force offer the best hope of hast ening land progress, because of ' their weakening effect on the Ger- -mans. ,, To tho Wolverines: Drop in to see' me at The Statesman office sometime within i th. , next . xew nou without C (Continued from Page 1) C RHSsians Race To Cut Crimea B Continued from Page 1?
