TITO CAN BRIDGE GAP Rec. 11 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 3. | The connection between the Eighth Army, in north Italy, and the Russian group of armies on the border of Bulgaria and Rumania is^more intimate | Chan the distance between them suggests, says the Moscow correspondent of "The Times." Nearly 700 air miles iat present separates the Eighth Army and the Russians, but Marshal Tito's forces represent a potential link between them. In fact the gap between the Allied armies would be bridged by a RussoYugoslav junction on the YugoslavRumanian frontier and an Anglo-Yugo-slav j unction in Istria s thus creating a continuous southern front. Clarification on Bulgaria's position and the achievement of national unity by Greece would be of equivalent value, for each would be steps towards the destruction of the German j forces south, of the area where the Russians, British, and Yugoslavs can form a continuous front.
