THIRD WAR BOND DRIVE OPENS TODAY Eisenhower Grants Military Armistice Appeals To Italians To Help Drive Germans From Italian Soil At Once. ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 8.—General Dwight D. Eisenhower today announced the unconditional surrender of Italy in the greatest victory for Allied arms in four years of war. Gen. Eisenhower announced he had granted a mili tary Armistice—approved by Russia as well as Britain and the Uited States—to the war-sick, tottering junior Axis partner being chewed by invasion. Hitler’s “European Fortress” was cracked, the way was opened for new offensives, the course of World War II immeasurably shortened. Surrender of Italian armed forces “unconditionally” was made by the government of Marshal Pietro Badog lio, successor of Benito Mussolini, the architect of Fascism. Thus the Casablanca “unconditional surrender” ul timatum received its first application. Announcing the brilliant news, Eisenhower, who led the Allies triumph in Tunisia and Sicily as well, declared: ft “The Italian -vverr.i.’<*nt h:ia rendered its armed forces uu ditionally. “As Allied commander in chief I have granted a military armis the terms of which have been ap proved by the governments of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Union of the So viet Socialist Republics. Thus 1 am acting in the of the United Nations. The Italian government has bound itself to abide by these terms without reservation. “The armistice was signed by my representative and the rep resentative of Marshal Badoglio, and it becomes effective this in stant," Eisenhower maid in a broadcast at 12:30 p. m. (ewl) “Hostilities between the arm ed forces of the United Nations and those of Ita'y terminate at once. All Italians who now act to help eject the Qerman aggres sors from Italian soil wjU have the assistance and support of the United Nations.'1 The truce actually was reached last Friday at Al ied advance headquarters in Sicily—the very day that Brijish and Canadian troops swept across Messina Strait to invade the Italian toe —but it was agreed, a special announcement said, “that the armistice should come into force at a moment most favorable to the Allies, and be simultaneously announced by both sides. That moment ha* now arrived. The possibility of a German move to forestall publication of i,.«- armistice by the Italian gov ernment was discussed during the negotiations. To meet this eventuality, it was agreed that one of the senior Italian military representatives should not return to Rome. He is now in Sicily.” “Further, Marshal Badoglio ar ranged to lend the text of his proclamation to Allied headquar Badoglio issued a proclamation saying the armistice had been re quested and granted, and called on all Italian armed forces to “cease all acts of hostility against Anglo-American forces wherev er they may be met.” Badoglio instructed the Italians howfever, to “oppose attacks from any other quarters” — a warning that German attempts to interfere wou'd be met by arms. "The announcement came as dispirited Italian troops by the hundreds surrendered to British Canadian troops advancing up the Calabrian peninsula, where the Allies landed last Friday on the eels of a 38-day Sicilian vic \\ ry which sent the Germans S' eeing to the mainland. The capitulation came from the government of Marshal Pie tro Badoglio, who succeeded Ben (Continued on page five) TO SPEAK AT^BETHPAGE MRS.
