Discussing

he
said
that

frequently
found

o'clock
this
morning
and
are
now
locked
in
fierce
battle
with
the
Axis
defenders.
The
landing
was
preceded
by
heavy
air
attack.
Naval
forces
landed
the
troops.
First
to
go
ashore
were
engineers
to
clear
mines
and
defence
positions.
Infantry,
breaking
through
barbed
wire
and
pillboxes,
followed.
Parachutists
were
also
said
to
have
landed
on
Sicilian
air
fields
but
this
is
not
confirmed.
The
landings
were

week
or

that

A
United
States
communique
issued
at
Cairo
today
disclosed
how
American
bombers,
striking
in
waves
yesterday,
smashed
"the
nerve
centre
of
Axis
Sicilian
defence
formes"
at
Taormina.
The
bulletin
declared
that
the
target
area
in
Taormina
on
the
east
coast
of
Sicily
was
reduced
to
rubble
and
left
in
smoke
and
flame."
While
Canadian
troops
were
among
the
Allied
landing
force
it
was
officially
announced
by
the
Department
of
Naval
Affairs
in
Ottawa
that
no
Canadian
war
vessels
had
taken
part
in
connection
with
the
landing
operation.
Prime
Minister
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King
at
Ottawa
described
the
landings
in
Sicily
as
a
new
phase
of
war.
Canadians
would
feel
a
sense
of
pride
that
troops
from
this
Dominion
were
in
the
forefront
of
the
new
assault.
The
Prime
Minister
warned
that
no
easy
victory
or
immediate
successes
should
be
expected
but
rather
fierce
fighting
and
a
long
struggle.
Prime
Minister
Mackenzie
King,
in
his
statement
at
Ottawa,
said
that
armed
forces
of
Canada
are
"in
the
forefront
of
the
attack
which
has
as
its
ultimate
objective
the
unconditional
surrender
of
Italy
and
Germany.
"The
soldiers
of
Canada
have
gone
into
battle
exceptionally
well
(rained,
superbly
equipped,
keen
j
nd
full
of
spirit,
ready
for
offensive
warfare
the
Prime
Minister
said.

today,
striking

forces
in
the

blow
aimed

Hitler's
Europe,
refeired
to
a.
bulletin
from
Italian
headquarters
which
said
that
Allied
parachutists
had
spearheaded
the
assault
and
that
fighting
was
in
progress
along
southern
and
eastern
coasts
nearest
Italy.
The
first
unofficial
leports,
according
to
Reuters
News
Agency,
said
that
operations
were
going
"according
to
plan."
Announcement
of
the
invasion
was
the
first
word
that
Canadian
troops
had
been
moved
from
Britain
to
the
African
theatre.
London
head-quartets
described
the
Canadian
troops
as
the
greatest
assault,
force
Canada
has
ever
assembled
and
hinted
that
the
assault
on
Sicily
might
be
accompanied
at
any
moment
by
co-ordinated
moves
elsewhere
along
the
Mediterranean
front.
These
quarters
said
that
the
invasion
now
in
progress
should
not
be
regarded
as
only
a
landing
nor
even
as
"the"
landing
planned
by
the
Allies,
thus
implying
that
ever
greater
events
may
be
in
the
offing.
Dispatches
from
Ankara
said
there
was
sirong
possibility
of
action
in
the
Balkans
this
week-end
with
the
Germans
feverishly
reinforcing
defences
there
as
well
as
in

Sea.
