And there’s/ plenty Jeft to bomb in Italy, ex- clusive of Italian morale, which} is a prime military objective in itself. First objective will likely be | Italy’s network of power plants, | some of which -have already had a taste of all-out bombing. Italy! is heavily dependent on electric power, and the dams and gener- ating plants are wide open to air} attack. Their destruction will in| turn increase the need for coal, of which Italy produces only 8-10| per cent of her needs. The Italian railroad system is of vital importance with Italian) merchant ships bottled up in|} harbor. Italy is utterly depend- ent on imports from Germany to eat and to defend herself, as} Mussolini admitted when he said | Hitler would send anti-aircraft | guns and other weapons. | So the rail centers automat- ically become bomb _ targets. Freight yards and the rail lines in narrow mountain defiles where repair is difficult. rank high on the list of air objectives in Italy. Aqueducts carrying water to Italian industry and __ Italian homes are endangered. The Apulian aqueduct, from the Ap- pennines above Naples to the al- most waterless plains of Apuila, supplies 250 communities. Its| destruction would present a ma- jor problem. ’ Italian mines in Tuscany, Istria and Sardinia produce important contributions to the metal-starv- ed Axis war machine. Bauxite, iron, copper, zinc, lead and sil- ver are some of them. Mine structures above ground are duck soup for bombers. Italian heavy industry all down the Po valley, in Naples and to a degree around Rome, will come in for attention in Churchill’s air blitz. The shipyards at Naples and Genoa can’t be bomb-proofed. The textile industry's loss would hit at the cold Axis legions in Russia. These are all legitimate mili- tary objectives. Their destruc- tion would subtract from the primary ability of the Axis to wage war. The corollary result, the destruction of Italian morale, js no less important. The mass evacuation of Genoa and Turin indicates that civilian morale has been badly shaken. The British could “take it” in he . the la plane loss- |, 1940-41 blitzes, because Nazis suffered heavy es. The Italians, never very keen about the war, have seen RAF planes get away almost scot free. : Evacuation to rural regions of comparative safety will not solve the morale problem. Italians are on a minimum subsistence ration of heat, food and other necessi- ties now. Aerial disruption of transport that prevents imports of the rations the Nazis dole out will additionally lower Italian morale. So will further family disruption, increased living costs for split families and the like. Italy is strictly on a hot spot. squarely in the sights of Allied bombardiers. BUGLERS’ BLUES | AP Features Save for the early hours, a bugler’s life in the army seems —to the outsider—to be a ¢ However, there are 41 different | rgulation calls the bugler (or {trumpeter, as he's officially termed’ must have in his reper- toire, athough less than a score of these are sounded daily at the average military reservation. | There’s the “first call,” course, that soldiers know best— the warning to prepare for rev- ‘eille, retreat, parade or review. | As listed by “Army Life”, there’s ‘also the welcome “mess call,” “drill call” warning soldiers to be prepared to turn out for drill, jand “church call,” when church | services are about to be held.
