Allied Commander Reports

An Allied Force Command,
Italy, Oct. 28. (U.R) Gen. Sir
Harold R. L. G. Alexander, com
mander ol Allied ground forces,
said today that the Allied ad
vance in Italy has been slowed
by huge German reinforcements
rushed , in from other fronts,
and warned that the Fifth and
Eighth armies face an Increas-

to 600,000 men now were tied
up in Italy and the Balkans
contrasted with only four to five
divisions in Italy when the in
vasion was launched.
Face Seven Divisions
Emphasizing that the German
posrHon in Italy has been
strengthened at the expense of
the Nazis' Russian front, Alex
ander said the Anglo-American
forces now were facing seven
divisions in the front line
about 105,000 troops. He point
ed out that the divisions could
have been sent to Russia had
they not been needed elsewhere.
Alexander was confident of
the outcome of the Italian cam
paign, but cautioned against ex
pecting a quick triumph.
"The campaign is going quite
well, but rather slowly," he said,
"it is not going as quickly as we
would like."
The slim, mustachioed gen
eral, who is Allied chief of staff
under American Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, refused to make
any predictions about the pro
gress of the campaign because,
he said, "I've made many pro
phecies since the start of this
war, and not one of them has
been right."

He indicated, however, that
Rome was one of the main ob-

These are some of the Allied war leaders whs attended the recent military conference held
in Chungking. They are left to right, Chinese Gen. Ho Ying-Chin, Lt. Gen. Brehon Sommervell,
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, Vice Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, Madam Chiang and Lt.
Gen. Joseph StilwelL ,
jectives of the Allied offensive.
"Rome Is everything," he
said. "He who holds Rome
holds the hearts of the Italian
people, above and beyond strate
gic and political considerations."
"All roads lead to Rome," he
added, -"but unfortunately ail
the roads are badly mined."
Alexander said the original
Allied plan had called for a
landing at Salerno and a drive
directly across the Italian pen
insula, but added that one Ger
man division had checked the
Fifth army longer than had been
anticipated.
He praised Lleut.-Gen. Mark
W. Clark's handling of the Fifth
army and the air and sea sup
port which finally broke the
German resistance at Salerno.
He emphasized, however, that
"the German is a very good sol
dier" and was in a position to
move forces rapidly to cover
threatened points along the line.
Keep Initiative
Alexander said the armies
under his command would take
the initiative at all times, be
cause "once you allow the ene
my to seize the initiative he'll
kick you in the pants.
He predicted that the cam.
paign would become tougher as
it .progressed northward and
that the drive on Rome would
be Increasingly slow.
"We've got more guns and
more tanks than the enemy, but
it is difficult to use them,;' he
explained.
Alexander expressed hope
that Rome would not be greatly
damaged, even if the Germans
put up a stiff fight, because
"nowadays, wars are not really
fought in cities, but around
cities." .
He told correspondents that
the Italians have been able to
offer little military aid to the
Allies so far, but that they were
being used for various labor
services and that he depended
greatly upon the Carabinieri to
police occupied towns and
cities.
"We are also getting help
from Italians behind the Ger
man lines, but the German is a
very heavy-fisted fellow," he
said.
Alexander said very few Ger
man prisoners have been taken
thus far, and that not much can
be done at present to halt the
Nazi "scorched earth" policy in
northern Italy.
In 1943, under its ninth presi
dent, Dr. A. L. Strand, OSC be
came the first college in the
west to start the army special
ized training program.
