Pontine Marshes
To Be Drained for
Use By Italians
Rome, April 10 HP Thousands
of acres of rich land will be avail
able for crops this year through
. the drainage of the Pontine
marshes which were flooded by
German engineers before the al
lied offensive in Italy began last
May.
When the Germans fell back
before the American Fifth army
they left 27,000 acres of farmland
under water. Now, less than 5,000
acres are still flooded, and those
are expected to be drained by
June 1. Most of the areas already
drained have been sown with ear
ly crops.
Canals Wrecked
The Pontine marshes comprise
lSb.uuo acres ot reclaimed land
along a 30-mile strip of coast be
tween Terracina and Anzlo. The
Germans wrecked pumps and
drainage canals and even built
dams to prevent water from flow
ing off the marshes.
Their 'purpose appeared to be
not only to ruin the land for agri
' culture but also to bog down the
attacking Americans.
The water, however, barely
reached the top of a fine con
crete highway stretching straight
across the marshes. American
troops raced over this Mussolini
built road, leaving the more la
borious job of repairs to Italian
authorities and the allied military
commission.

5,000,000 atrablne tablets to ci
vilians, Including thousands of
Italian laborers who worked to
clear the area.
Allied commission authorities
report, however, that autumn
rains may overwhelm the make
shift drainage system and large
areas will again be flooded unless
pumping machinery can be ob
tained from the United States.

This is one of the many precautionary measures
taken by Union Pacific and other railroads
to protect passengers and freight shipments.
Safe transportation becomes increasingly im

essential materials are constantly on the move
over Union Pacific's Strategic Middle Route
