Italy Admits 100 Killed in'f

Cagliari; RAF Raids Germany.

By UNITED PRESS The day-and-night allied air offensive against the axis continues. Announcements today revealed that American planes had attacked . Sardinian targets by daylight yesterday and that R. A. F. long-range bombers had raided western Germany for the third time in four nights. 0 The 12th U. S. air force did not identify its Sardinian targets, but a b. ast Rome communique said said American planes had heavily bombed Cagliari, the chief town of the island, killing 100 persons and injuring 235. Rome said three American planes were shot down. | Every one of the British night raiders returned safely, The Ruhr area was believed to have been the target, although the air ministry at London did not say so.

“= (German successes against the Americans on the south-central Tunisian battle front make it apparent

that Marshal Rommel has balked a possible allied attempt to slice through to the sea and prevent a junc-

tion of his Afrika Korps with the forces of Col. Gen. : von Arnim in northeastern Tunisia. go. The, rapid axis drive from Faid pass through Sidi

Bow’ Zid. and Sbeitla, as well as the

capture of Feriana to the southwest.

is“an indication of German striking force. It is'a foretaste of the stiff and probably costly fighting ahead before the axis is driven out of Tu-

nisia, By driving the Americans into the hills toward the Algerian border, Rommel has widened the field of his operations, giving: him greater maneuverability to his mechanized forces. A German announcement in Berlin that the offensive is ended indicates that the Germans will not press their advantage and attempt to push through the new American positions. For one thing, the narrow, traillike' roads are. unsuitable for tank warfare. For another, the heavy forces used in this operation apparenfly are needed to support the Afrika Korps when it comes up the coast from the Mareth line. The retiring Afrika Korps is now behind the line and the advancing British eighth army has reached Medenine, its focal point. Whether | Rommel will elect to make much of a stand along the Mareth line is problematical. The strength of the line is not known. It was supposed to have been dismantled by the Italians after the fall of France, but the Germans may have succeeded in building it up and moving in artillery.

DAY-AND-NIGHT RAIDS DEFENDED

American Air Commander In Europe Says Critics Are Nazi-Inspired.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U. P.).— Allied writers on air tactics and strategy ‘who are urging abandonment of daylight bombing raids of Germany by American planes will, if they succeed, do more damage to the allied cause *than any fifth column now operating anywhere in the world,” Maj. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, commander of the U. S. air forces in the European theater, said today. Eaker did not identify the writers, but had only the greatest praise for the British night bombers and the American day bombers in their respective jobs. The American fourengined bombers are the “best day bombers in the world,” he said, and have proven that they can both give and take by their record—more than four enemy fighters knocked down for every bomber lost. The war department issued his

statement which was described as an explanation of “24-hour bombing of Germany.”

Would “Jeopardize” War Effort

Gen. Eaker said that around-the-clock bombing of Germany—American bombers in the daytime and British bombers at night—is a fundamental part of the strategy for the allied assault on the axis. “It is sometimes assumed that American air forces in Britain are wrong to bomb by day or the R. A. F. is in error to bomb by night,” he said. “What is best for one must inevitably be best for the other, “This is a wholly mistaken view. If it prevailed our war effort would be dangerously jeopardized.” He pointed out that R. A. F. bombers were built and their crews

i: trained for night bombing, and that

American bombers were designed and built and the crews specially trained for high altitude, high precision daylight bombing.

Both in Best Elements

That does not mean that the R. A, F. cannot bomb by day or the U. S. army air forces cannot bomb at night, he said, but neither will be in its best element nor do its best work under those conditions. “Some allied writers on air tactics and strategy have told our American people that the military leaders are wrong to persist in day bombardment,” Gen. Eaker said. “Those well-meaning individuals if they persist and if they should succeed in altering American air strategy would perform a great service to the enemy and be more dangerous to the allied cause than any fifth column now operating in the world. Indeed some of this campaign undoubtedly springs from subversive or enemy propaganda.” Of the “malicious tendency in

' .|some quarters” to insisting that the

British or American bomber is superior and the other inferior, he said: “The plain facts are that each is stiperlative in its field and for the type of work for which it was designed. It would be the greatest tragedy which the allied cause has suffered in this war is misguided public sentiment or mistaken air strategy or enemy propaganda should force either of our American and British bomber efforts to bes lifted from their present, . Job

‘Maximum Destruction’

Gen. Eaker listed three primary reasons why Americans should continue to concentrate on daylight and the British on night raids: “First is the fact that the maximum destructive effort against the enemy can be realized under these. conditions only. “The second is béPause under these conditions enemy defenses will be alerted through the 24-hour period and it will require three shifts to do the A. R. P. job and man the defenses adequately as against one shift if both forces operated habitually in a limited period . . . “The third reason is that American day bombers Germany in' daylight force the enemy to maintain a large force of

+ vie

|day fighters which otherwise would

be free to operate on the Russian front, on the African front, or elsewhere against allied forces, “In short, the present scheme, bombing around-the-clock, keeps the| £i enemy's fighter * and aircraft de-|¥ fenses extended to the limit and they are already stretched thin indeed and badly overworked.”

VACANCIES AT. LOW LEVEL IN 4 AREAS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (U. P.), —The census bureau today said vacant housing in four war industry areas had reached or was nearing an irreducible minimum. Surveys made in 218 defense areas

were habitable in a majority of the areas constituted less than 1 per cent of their total number of housing, facilities. The four areas already ,at the “irreducible minimum” were Newport News, Va.; Niagara Falls; N. Y., and. Bridgeport and Hartford, Conn., where the Vacancy Tates

T0 SPLIT ALLIES

Spreads Peace Talk and Incites Fear of ‘Bolshevism.’

By UNITED PRESS The axis, reeling under successive military disasters in Russia, was launching a propaganda campaign

-1today to dangle the United States

and Britain and hinted that a negotiated peace would be acceptable. European advices reported that German propagandists had em-

| barked upon their most determined

campaign to convince Americans and Britons that a Soviet victory over Germany would result in the “bolshevization” of Europe and perhaps the world. In Washington, Elmer Davis, o6ffice of war information director, dismissed the axis peace feelers as part of a “talk offensive” to divide the allies.

Fighting Russia No Fun

“The axis is trying to drive a wedge between Great Britain, the United States and their allies,” Mr. Davis said. “Apparently fighting the Russians isn’t too much fun for them.” Walter Brell, chief of the Ankara

bureau of the official German news

agency, DNB, was quoted as spreading word that the Anglo-Saxon nations would do well to reach a “gentlemen’s understanding” with Germany before it is too late to halt the Soviet “menace.” Fritz Matsel, ace German propagandist, also was in Turkey plugging the familiar “Red menace” theme.

. Goebbels Sets the Stage

Ankara reports said Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda chief, had given Brell and Matsel further ammunition by: 1. “Discovering” an alleged secret memorandum from Moscow to Communist cells throughout Europe assuring them that Russia's alliance “with the plutocracies is only temporary and the communization of the world will continue as soon as victory is won.” 2. Permitting Germany’s Balkan ‘satelites to suspend the persecution of Jews, particularly those with connections abroad. 3. Abruptly stopping abusive references in German newspapers to Britain and the United States.

Italy Follows Suit

Italy was following right along in the footsteps of her partner to the north, Rome dispatches to Stockholm quoted Virginio Gayda, authoritative Fascist editor, that a compromise peace with the United States and Britain was possible— “but never with the Soviet.” “Communism will become overwhelming if peace isn’t made rapidly,” Gayda was quoted. Reichmarshal Herman Goering paved the way for the axis appeasement campaign last month in his

the Nazi party’s rise to power. At that time he said that Germany could “deal with gentlemen—but not with Soviets.” His speech significantly was devoid of abuse of the United States and Britain.
