Report Germans Preparing :
To Evacuate Milan at Any Time.
ROME, Aug. 29 (U. P.).—German forces on the eastern side of Italy appeared to have made a general withdrawal northwarc today as British 8th army patrols found extensive areas in. the southern Appenines undefended and Polish troops in the Adriatic sector crossed the Arzilla river to Monteciccardo, only three miles from the enemy's heavily fortified Gothic line, (Field Marshal Albert Kesselring has ordered the German garrison at Milan in northern Italy to be prepared to evacuate the city on two hours notice, the British radio said today in a broadcast recorded by C. B. 8. The broadcast quoted the Swiss newspaper Popolo e Liberta.
Fifth Under Fire
(C. B. 8. also recorded a Berlin radio broadcast asserting that the allies are concentrating strong arItillery and armored forces east of Florence “for a large scale attack which is expected soon.”) . The Germans appeared to be digging in on the north bank of the Arno river, However, in the area between Brozzi, four miles west of Florence, and San Colombano, three miles further west, and still further west, they were subjecting U, 8. 5th army troops to heavy artillery fire and were reacting sharply to American patrols all along the Arno river.

Marseille last night following the unconditional capitulation of Lt. Gen. Gotthold Schaefer, supreme commander of the defense of that port. The bulk of the remainder of the battered German 19th army was being annihilated in a huge trap near Montelimar, in the Rhone valley 80 miles south of Lyon, with the final toll expected to reach 10,000 to 15000 men killed or captured. Swiss Border Report (A Berlin military spokesman said allied spearheads reached the Swiss border at Annemasse, four miles’ southeast of Geneva and 73 miles . Tortheast of Lyon, Swiss sources previously had reported the arrival of American patrols at the border near Geneva.) (The united nations radio at Algiers said the fighting in southern France had reached the “final stages.” “There is no front and no line,” the broadcast said.) (A delayed United Press dispatch from Irun. Spain, said American armored forces were reported to have trapped some 15,000 Germans near the southwestern coast of France about 20 miles below Bordeaux, The Germans were said to have been split up into small groups and were running low on ammunition.)
