TWO WEEKS' PROGRESS
ALLIES COMMAND HEIGHTS Rec. 12.50 p.m. RUGBY, Sept. 23. Today, two weeks after they had landed on the beaches, troops of the Fifth Army had occupied every height in the Salerno area and in some parts of the American section.
It is the Germans who are now down in the flat country, exposed to relentless shelling, states a correspondent with the Fifth Army. Nowhere in the American section are the Germans attacking; they are withdrawing slowly along the whole front. In some instances the American push up into the mountains has been so rapid that the Germans have had to make hurried departures from small mountain towns to avoid being taken in the passes.—B.O.W.
