VOLTURNO CROSSING
THE ENEMY TRICKED United Press Assn —B.v Elec Cut Telegrnnb—Uonvright NEW YORK, Oct. 15. The first detachments of the Filth Army forces crossed the Volturno without a shot being fired at. them, says the Columbia Broadcasting System’s representative, in a broadcast from Algiers. Allied guns opened up along a lengthy strip .of the river bauk and then concentrated on a. single point. The Germans, thinking that the big attack was coming here, began heavy counter-fire. Meanwhile, from a point downstream, Fifth Army forces began peuring across the river, and they continued to do so for about an hour without drawing any enemy fire.
