Soldiers' Papers Concede Failure Hut Say (Won fjessons Willi Prove Valuable in Coining At-j tucks on Germans Allied Headquarters. Naples,) March 27.? The Allied attempt to j wrest Cassino from its stubborn | German defenders tonight appear- 1 ed to have been suspended for the time being after the failure of an 11-day assault ? a failure conceded by newspapers of both the United States and Canadian soldiers. These newspapers. The StarB and Stripes and The Maple Leaf, also gave expression to the Allied determination to profit from the bitter experience and eventually capture the key town on the toad to Home. It was announced that massed Allied artillery has begun a sys tematic bombardment to blast Nazi parachute troops from the ruins of the Continental Hotel and the Hotel Des Roses. Complete absence of mention of ground activity in the Allied communique appeared to indicate that New Zealand troops who fought their way magnificently into the last quarter of Cassino had tor the moment abadoned the effort to drive the Germans from their remaining strongholds. Straddling Road "The Germans still stand strad dling the central road to Rome," Stars and Stripes said, "but they live on borrowed time. The Allies have learned many lessons In the battle for Cassino, lessons which will count wherever Germans are fought. The British and Ameri cans who invade Europe from the west will profit by those who have gone before them in the shattered town in the mountains of Italy. When Allied soldiers start again on the road to Rome, their way will have been made easier by the hard-learned know ledge gained in the fighting at Cassino." The Maple Leaf, the Canadian soldiers' publication, said: "The Allied attack combination of bombs from the air, shells from artillery and punch from the in fantry has failed. "The Allies have been beaten at Cassino, but there is no rea son to believe that theirs is a fi nal failure. "The formula is learned the hardway. "'The next time the forces who know they- are fighting for free dom hit Cassino", it will stay hit." ST. PAUL'S - EPISCOPAL CHURCH Rev. Harry S.
