ALLIED HEADQUAR-~ TERS, North Africa, Oct. 2. — The allied - 5th army, streaming through Naples in relentless pursuit of the battered Germans, began the march on Rome today and a communique announced that the “successful advance” was continuing. American and British spearheads pushed up the twin roads that lead from Naples to Rome, 125 miles to the north, as allied bombers and fighters poured a torrent of explosives and bullets on German

forces retreating for a new stand before the Italian capital.
