dreds of planes, and massed field
guns, . American, Canadian and
British forces again have torn
miles-deep holes In the crumbling
Mount Etna line across the tip of
Sicily.

doughboys captured Caronla on
the north coast, four miles beyond
fallen San Stefano.
Canadians and British, fighting
over bitterly contested ground at
the central hinge of the Axis line
west of Mount Etna, gained "sev
eral miles” in a mighty push
which threatened to fold up the
entire southern end ot the ene
my’s position and envelop the
large forces defending (3atania on
the east coast.
Air’ force commanders turned
the full power of their aerial tac
tical fleet against the Axis de-
XkMi»*leteli>,..unopp86ed
swarms of planes of all types
whipped back and forth across the
Axis lines, bumping Germans from
their pillboxes and sloshing '.heir

forces patrolling Messina strait,
virtually completed a circuit of
blockade about the beleaguered
