Sicily Conquest Continues With Great Rapidity, Patterson Declares; American 7th Army Praised.
9D)
WASHINGTON, July (U, P.).—American forces in Sicily have advanced to the outskirts of Marsala and the fall of that city on the western tip of the island is imminent, Acting Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson said today. In central Sicily, American and Canadian forces are moving rapidly northward, he told a press conference, They have captured thousands of prisoners and cut the railway across the central portion of the island. Thus far more than 40,000 prisoners have been taken by the allies, including four generals commanding divisions. “Our casualties have been light, being only a small fraction of the number of enemy prisoners taken,” Pate terson said.
