British Eighth Crosses Moro
And while these diplomatic successes piled up for the Allied cause the German military situation deteriorated. Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark's fifth army in Italy seized control of the major sections of the months Camino and Maggiore ridges. Enemy forces continued to offer stauunch resistance and counter-attacks.
The British eighth army on the Adriatic end of the line crossed the swollen Moro river only 12 miles below Pescara and hurled armored units against the Germans in the vicinity of San Leonardo. Russians Gain in All Sectors
Despite the rainy weather, bombers of the North African air force blasted Nazi occupied airdromes just outside of Athens, and targets upon the Italian mainland were blasted in support of the land action.
On the Russian front, Soviet troops cut the Smela-Znanenk rail line, splitting huge forces in the Ukraine and threatening them with envelopment. The Russians moved forward despite strong enemy re-resistance and gained on all sectors.
United States air, land, and sea forces lashed out against the Japanese over a wide area. In addition to the Marshal attack, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's jungle fighters pressed ahead in Bougainville, last Japanese stronghold in the Solomons. American heavy bombers simultaneously attacked Japanese bases and garrisons on New Britain Island while enemy airfields at Rabaul were set on fire.

these discussions is provided by two bulletins—"War" and "Current Affairs" which are issued on alternate weeks. "War" provides general military intelligence from all theaters of operation. Men fighting in jungle sectors receive bulletins devoted to bettering their understanding of jugle fighting, for example. "Current Affairs" is written to a large extent by civilians. The pamphlets are written objectively, striving to make the soldiers think for themselves after the facts have been presented.
Men Respond Enthusiastically
"The men have in most cases responded enthusiastically," reported Dr. Hinton, "for they see in the A.B.C.A. the ideal opportunity of discussing as citizens what they fight for as soldiers." He pointed out that there are no civics classes in British secondary schools and that this is the first time many of the men have had an opportunity to study their government.
Platoon commanders give a brief outline of the subject featured in the week's pamphlet, talking for no longer than 20 minutes. Then follows a completely informal discussion period over which the platoon commanders preside as chairmen.
"British soldiers are also vitally interested in Russia and in the United States," he added. "They welcome all information they can get on these two nations."
